Shifty Schiff: Biggest Threat to Democracy 'Comes From a President Without an Ethical Compass'
Townhall.com ^ | November 16, 2019 | Beth Baumann

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) told members of the California Democratic Party that "democracy in America" is being threatened "from within, from a president without an ethical compass," a clear swipe at President Donald Trump.

It's hilarious that Adam Schiff, of all people, is going to make such a ridiculous statement.

For one, America is a Republic, not a Democracy. That's history 101. But then again, look at who we're talking about.

Schiff thinks Trump lacks an "ethical compass." That's rich coming from a guy who spent two years telling the country President Trump colluded with Russia. We were told to wait until Special Counsel Robert Mueller concluded his investigation and we would see exactly what Trump and his campaign did wrong. Guess what was revealed? Not. A. Damn. Thing. Mueller said no collusion took place. And what did Schiff do? He suddenly latched onto this "quid pro quo" that he believes took place with Ukraine.

The Democrats launched their impeachment inquiry before Trump released the transcript of his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. They claimed, once again, that Trump did something wrong. They told the American people that Trump threatened to withhold military aid to Ukraine unless Zelensky investigated former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, for corruption. And, once again, they were proven wrong. The transcript showed nothing of the sort. Trump merely suggested Zelensky get to the bottom of the Bidens' corruption. After all, Hunter was making $50,000 a year from a corrupt Ukrainian gas company despite having no natural energy experience.

Schiff is leading this impeachment inquiry, which is really nothing but a witch hunt based on the Democrats' hatred for the president. And Trump has no "ethical compass." Where's Schiff's "ethical compass?"

Rep. Adam Schiff: "The most profound threat to democracy today is not from Russia... The most grave threat to the life and health of our democracy comes from within, from a president without ethical compass."

Biggest threat to democracy comes from impeaching a duly elected president, without any impeachable offenses.

I suspect the reason the good Ambassador is a personna non grata for several reasons including her ethic by being a proponent of gay rights in the Ukraine -

They need to impeach Trump before RBG dies. That way they can protest Trump’s nomination of her successor. Won’t work but that the game plan.

If Shifty doesn’t swing from a rope there is no justice.

His coup attempt is nothing but treason.

Few people truly understand what has just happened.

President Trump is a genius, and this is the measure of his genius.

Schiff has denied conventional due process to the President of the United States; the established convention is that due process is guaranteed to the president on historical impeachment process:

1)He cannot confront his accusers,

2) he can have no attorney representing him at these hearings,

3) he cannot cross examine witnesses on the issue of motivation, factual accuracy and credibility

4) The President’s civil rights are being abused

5) President Trump enjoys a public approval rating around 57% of all voters.

These are the 5 ingredients our president has to work with.

The genius of The President is that he has trolled his way into these hearings despite Adam Schiff using every unconstitutional device to keep Donald Trump away.

Through this trolling tweet, President Trump has created an avenue now in which to present his position to the kangaroo court of Adam Schiff, using his solitary right of free speech under the 1st amendment.

This is a significantly powerful moment, an exemplary moment also on how we fight the totalitarian left.

President Trump baited Adam Schiff and he fell for it lock, stock and barrel, and now the president will tweet in live time as these witch hunt hearings proceed, and the MSM will be forced to report them, even if Schiff refuses to address presidential tweets in the future.

In short, the president now is attending the hearings despite every effort by the corrupt Dems to keep him away.

Our president is a genius. And now the real fun can begin as the president can now tear apart every hearsay witness the Dems bring forward.Some of it will be read into the record by Schiff, if he thinks it makes our President appear to be a bully.

The fact is that the president is fighting these totalitarian idiots, and doing a damn good job at it.

This is not witness intimidation, it is valid presidential criticism in lieu of due process whichi is supposed to be guaranteed to the President by the 5th amendment. This is brilliant.

President Trump , yet again, has stolen Adam Schiff’s thunder, so that Schiff is reduced to the auditory volume of a mere fart.

Hey Schitt... The biggest threat to a Constitutional Republic is a traitorous , seditionist Democrat party that allows the trashing of the Constitution, in attempt to overthrow a duly elected President.

Great example of projection. Democrats are too stupid to think on the fly before opening their mouths. They have to focus group everything before they act, and even then Wile E. Syndrome gets them most every time.
