In the otherwise scripted impeachment trial, it was a rare spontaneous moment: Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of President Donald Trump’s chief defenders, stopped Rep. Adam Schiff, the lead prosecutor, to shake his hand and compliment him on his arguments for Trump’s removal.
Schiff is the face of the House’s impeachment case against Trump, which has made him the principal target of Trump’s ire. Though he has six managers by his side, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appointed Schiff, her confidant, as the lead impeachment manager. He is setting the tone of the prosecution’s case.
“In a way I do feel like I’m introducing myself to a number of the senators,” Schiff said in an interview with The Associated Press before arguments resumed on Thursday. He said many of them are familiar only with conservative criticism of him, and they are “finding I’m not the demon that I’m portrayed as on Fox.”
Schiff, who represents parts of Hollywood, has been a frequent target of conservatives since the then GOP-led House Intelligence Committee started investigating Trump’s ties to Russia in the 2016 election. He was frequently on television questioning Trump’s actions.
The criticism intensified, though, when Democrats took the House majority in early 2019 and he became chairman of the intelligence panel. And it reached a full-on roar as he took charge of the impeachment investigation of Trump’s dealings with Ukraine last fall.
Trump has trained his ire on the congressman on Twitter and elsewhere, alternatively calling him “shifty,” “sleazy,” and “liddle.” He has also turned his name into a vulgarity, occasionally calling him “Schitt” on Twitter, and dubbed him “pencil neck” at a campaign rally. Trump tweeted about Schiff only a handful of times in 2017 and 2018, but hundreds of times since Democrats gained the House majority.

Did Linda thank him for reading a fabricated transcript into the official congressional record too? Graham proving what a fraud he is again. Here’s Libda shaking the and hands and complimentmg Schiff on his effort to remove a duly elected President with a cruise ship full of lies, half truths and out of context statements by the Presndent. Linda showing his/her true colors.
Yes, you are the demon that everyone with eyes and ears can vouchsafe. And, as with all freaks, normal people will often pay a nickle to walk into the oddity tent in order to touch the fur of the mutant.
When does this freak peak?
When does he get his “Have you no shame” moment?
I think Graham was perfectly acceptable in thanking Schiff for his arguments. The boredom and ennui that Schiff is causing in the body politic will keep Democrat voters in their beds on 4 Nov 2020.
And Graham knows it.
Our side doesn’t get to start until tomorrow.
You know, on Saturday when everyone is glued to their TV’s.
I even heard someone say that Trump’s Lawyers may not need all three days to mount their Defense. I guess that’s because you need a Crime to have a Defense to it.
Wait a minute. Each side is given 3 days? Surely it won’t take three days from our side.
He will forever be Schiff T. Coyote to me.
CAPTION:
“Ed Buck said what about my involvement in the SERIAL KILLINGS of BLACK MEN!?
Too many eyelids refusing to stay open and too many Hemorrhoids acting up before the Clock struck Midnight I assume.
I guess you have the ability to read Sen. Graham’s mind.
I’m impressed.
“Trump’s team is going to make mincemeat of this guy..”
... or Schiff ends up representing California in the Senate after DiFi. It could go either way.
As you should be.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of President Donald Trump’s chief defenders,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He has to appear this way for his own re-election.
If he were not up this year, he’d be leading the charge to remove.
Flimsey Grahamnesty is still committed to the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA), he is still committed to open borders/amnesty and the fundamental transformation of this country and a permanent Democrat majority.
Why would he do that???
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because he is a Democrat in an R jersey.
. . . was made so sound so profound by a propaganda campaign by the media.
True, but in Schiff’s case it’d be totally appropriate. And it’s overdue!
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
