Schiff Prison Joke for Senators Falls Flat, Earns Him Ridicule

First he tried to “parody” the president.

Now he jokes about jail for senators who get out of line.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff might have been kidding when he kicked off Thursday’s installment of the Democratic tragicomedy known as President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial by alluding to the potential for imprisonment for U.S. senators – but it didn’t go over well at all.

“I also want again take this opportunity to thank the senators for their long and considerable attention over the course of the last two days,” he said.

“Of course it doesn’t hurt that the morning starts out every day with a sergeant-at-arms warning you that if you don’t, you will be in prison.

“It is our hope that when the trial concludes and you’ve heard us and the president’s counsel over a series of long days, that you don’t choose imprisonment instead of anything further.”

The goal was apparently to remind the senators about their duty to attend to the evidence — though Democrats were hardly sinless when it came to disregarding protocol.

Who do those reps think they are? They don’t have that power. I’d like to see them dragged by a truck.

Senator Mike Lee was with Trump at March for life today. Wasn’t that during the trial?

It really doesn't matter. Both, due to the death of Andy Kaufman, are brain dead.
