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."

Agreed...They also have very short memories, no DemocRat should bring up ethical compass when it comes past presidents in the last 70 years.

She kind of blew that line. Try 50,000 a month and perhaps even more.

We’re not a democracy so it doesn’t really matter.

The biggest threat to democracy is from democrats playing around with trying to unseat the sitting President of these United States with all their phoney accusations instead of paying attention to what they were voted into office for.

Schiff and the rest of the Marxist Left, the Democrats and the Deep State coup plotters are the greatest threat to the US, far greater than any foreign enemy.

I can't help thinking Barr timed this to be dropped just before the IG Horowitz report is dropped, and possibly indictments by Bull Durham. Barr just HAMMERS the congress and the politicized judiciary.This was political battlefield preparation, I have no doubt. Rallying the troops, bugling the charge.

Don't miss his speech, there is an FR thread with the full text just up the line.

Is Schiff our era’s version of Patrick Henry or Thomas Paine?
Either way we are in deep trouble.

I haven’t watch the hearings, but with the amount of Dems coming out and making accusations each day tells me its going bad for the Democrats. If it were going well, they would be giddy with joy and drinking and not saying anything
