Adam Schiff: Case against Trump 'cannot be decided at the ballot box'
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 1/22/20 | Zachary Halaschak

House Judiciary Chairman Adam Schiff said that President Trump’s alleged misconduct can’t be proven at the ballot box but only through his impeachment. The California Democrat is one of the House’s impeachment managers and made the remarks during his opening statement on Wednesday.

“If not remedied by his conviction in the Senate and removal from office, President Trump’s abuse of his office and obstruction of Congress will permanently alter the balance of power among the branches of government,” the 59-year-old congressman said.

Schiff accused Trump of attempting to “use the powers of the presidency to cheat in an election.”

“For precisely this reason, the president’s misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box, for we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won,” he said. “The president has shown he believes he is above the law and scornful of constraint,” Schiff added.

It figures they’d get around to saying that. They’re going to be responsible when this powder keg blows sky high. When the shit finally hits the fan, just remember we have the democrats to thank for it.

I find it insulting to anyone told they’re too stupid or incompetent to get picture ID.

In a way, Schiff is right. The IC and FBI nearly threw the 2016 election with false allegations that were amplified by a corrupt Congress and law enforcement system. The government attempt to overthrow the will of the people continues as the State department and Congress go down the impeachment path.

Not to mention the rampant fraud perpetrated at the ballot box, and the over the top lies of the press.

Remember, this is coming from the same idiots that believe that one is guilty till proven innocent and that using executive privilege is obstruction, etc., etc.

Adam Schiff forfeited his right to be an American.

His right to breathe must be rescinded

“we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won.”

Setups for another election unfair to democrats who should win regardless.

“It is. But the asshat has the right to say it.”

And the Republicans have the right to create campaign ads around it. One should be created for Superbowl.

Shifty Schiff is mentally ill, but this is a plan by the Dims to poison the President’s impending re-election. I think the Dims know he’ll be re-elected, but spreading this nonsense will keep their base riled up.

Schiff is terrified of Trump’s reelection. We can only hope that Trump’s coattails are long and wide - there is a very diverse group of younger, more unapologetically conservative candidates running for House seats this year. Andrew Wilkow is in the process of interviewing many of them and I’m impressed.

Schiff got the job because voters rejected their House Manager Congressman

Schiff will lose his job because he was a House Manager and will be rejected

Not having elections decided by the majority of voters has been Demagogic Party policy for decades in California.
