POLITICO: How an Adam Schiff indictment could shake the Senate

No - more specifically, a Democrat Senator.

Republicans are below the law. The bogus case against Senator Ted Stevens back in 2008 causing him to lose his re-election in Alaska is why we have Obamacare now. It wasn’t tossed on a technicality it was tossed as being completely bogus.

Stevens almost certainly would have won re-election with his usual 30 point+ blowout but for his bogus indictment and conviction. Instead, he narrowly lost, giving the Democrats their 60th seat to have cloture on Obamacare’s initial vote. Then after that, even with Scott Brown’s upset victory in Massachusetts, it was too late to stop it, as they were able to pass the House’s amended version on reconciliation which does not require 60 votes.

“Federal prosecutors knowingly concealed exculpatory evidence and allowed false testimony to be presented at trial in their overzealous pursuit of criminal charges against the late Sen. Ted Stevens, a scathing new report by a special investigator finds. “The investigation and prosecution of U.S. Senator Ted Stevens were permeated by the systematic concealment of significant exculpatory evidence which would have independently corroborated Senator Stevens’s defense and his testimony, and seriously damaged the testimony and credibility of the government’s key witness,” Schuelke wrote in the summary of his report.”

If that indictment will “shake” the Senate, then shake it up, baby.

It’s not retribution he’s after - it’s a reckoning.

And a desire to put the crooked, treasonous SOBS that stole the 2020 election and tried to kill our President behind bars at a minimum.

I have rope if they want to borrow any.

It’s justice for crimes. If Schiff had done what he did, and if Trump never had been in the picture in any way, Schiff still needs to be prosecuted for all he did.

[Pilsner]

James is dead to rights, Schiff will be a harder lift with there being legitimate questions about what constitutes primary residence.

James clearly committed mortgage fraud, but I doubt any of them will be finally convicted.

With Schiff, he either committed mortgage fraud, or his primary residence is in not in California. Embarrassing for his attorneys to have to make that argument, but I expect it is plenty to spare him a conviction in Maryland.

And if that proves Schiff committed perjury when he swore he was a resident of California, when filing for a place on the ballot, I don’t see any chance of him being charged by the State of California.

Unless maybe his fellow Democrats see an opportunity to open up a Senate seat there is zero chance of a Republican winning…

Now THAT would make me laugh.

A schiff indictment could “shake the senate”?
The Senate has harassed The Donald for years and this weasel Shiff led the charge.
Indict? Oh hell yeah.
Make him go bankrupt paying for high priced lawyers defending his sorry ass.
Leavenworth for him sounds good.
