House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) suggested President Trump’s possible impeachable offenses include bribery in an interview set to air Wednesday with NPR’s Steve Inskeep.
"On the basis of what the witnesses have had to say so far, there are any number of potentially impeachable offenses, including bribery, including high crimes and misdemeanors,” Schiff said in the interview. “The basic allegations against the president are that he sought foreign interference in a U.S. election, that he conditioned official acts on the performance of these political favors.”
In the interview, Schiff said “bribery,” one of the offenses the Constitution outlines as impeachable, had a different meaning at the time the Constitution was written then how it is commonly understood today.
“It was much broader. It connoted the breach of the public trust in a way where you're offering official acts for some personal or political reason, not in the nation's interest,” Schiff said. “Here you have the president of the United States seeking help from Ukraine in his reelection campaign in the form of two investigations that he thought were politically advantageous, including one of his primary rival.”
“It doesn't have to be cash. It can be something of value,” Schiff added, saying that conditioning foreign aid on political favors could be considered bribery even in the modern context.

Shiffty COULD be shot for treason too.
Maybe he would take one for they team?
They could blame Trump!
That would be the way of the Left.
Obammy and Clintoon would approve.

+10000
This guy is bat schiff crazy! (His last name doesn’t deserve to be capitalized)
“””Soon Schift will accuse him of jaywalking as an impeachable offense.””””””
I heard a tidbit from a reliable source today. One of the witnesses is a former employee of Blockbuster. He will testify that in 1983 Trump rented Smokey and the Bandit and turned it in without rewinding.
Something is wrong with this nutcase.
” He suggested a foreign company should investigate a very suspicious Democrat!”
After Trump retires, I hope Trump sues this little bug-eyed bastard.
country, not company.
Sheesh...
Not to be a wiseass, but if President Trump cannot prevail in the end over this pencil-neck geek, he’s not the man I think he is. Ask yourself:
Have I ever seen President Trump look worried or nervous or unsure about Schiff?
and
Have I ever seen Shiffhead look worried or nervous or unsure about what he’s doing?
Failing to rewind a vhs tape from Blockbuster is DEFINITELY an impeachable offense. Thanks to your friend for this GREAT discovery.
Well I got blowback from some female and she said: " You don't care if your president commits bribery, but the rest of us do." I thought it odd that she would use the word 'bribery' but it makes perfect sense now. The mind-numbed robots have been given their marching orders.
“....Schiff should be executed for treason...”
Exactly. That’s what needs to happen to this bug-eyed, communist POS. Enough is enough. Just call in the Marines and finish this communist crap off...once and for all.
