Trump defense team: Schiff not credible
Washington Examiner ^ | Jan 25, 2020 | Susan Ferrechio

Posted on 01/25/2020 11:15:40 AM PST by where's_the_Outrage?

President Trump’s defense team opened their arguments against impeachment on Saturday by attacking the credibility of lead Democratic impeachment manager Adam Schiff.

“Impeachment shouldn’t be a shell game,” lead impeachment attorney Pat Cipollone told senators.

A group of Trump’s defense team argued for only two hours against the two articles of impeachment charging Trump with obstruction of Congress and abuse of power....

“The most effective thing that happened was when they first read the transcript of the phone call, and then played the video,” Sen. John Barrasso, a Wyoming Republican, said. “From where I was sitting, the blood drained from Adam Schiff’s face as they played that video and the made-up words.”

Schiff ‘s Cong/district includes Hollywood. He tried to leverage his govt office to sell a screenplay-—
but Hollywood wasnt buying. Warmed me to Hollywood .....a little.

Adam Schiff Writes Screenplays On The Side — he shared in his New Yorker profile that not only is he a movie buff (and often quotes “The Big Lebowski”), but also he writes screenplays on the side. There seemed to be more than a tinge of regret in the California congressman’s voice when he recalled the story of his first screenplay, a pre-Holocaust story called “Remnant.” “I had an agent at William Morris tell me it was good but no one would want to see it — too depressing,” he explained. “Then ‘Schindler’s List’ came out, and I was, like, ‘Come on!’ He wrote the next one while a prosecutor, a murder-mystery called “Minotaur,” which he said was almost accepted by Hollywood standards. But, he has high hopes for his third. “It’s a spy drama,” he said. “That one is a work in progress.”

They cannot bring charges against Schiff for his many lies, nor can they charge him for the costs of his evil. But the Congress can condemn him as they did Joe McCarthy. He deserves to be condemned.

Not only not credible but the fact he was a potential witness with whistle-blower and was in charge of the investigation and then appointed a House Manager.

You mean the one the news propagandists painted as the new, improved Alexander Hamilton?

You mean the guy who got himself killed by a political opponent?

I should have said...

You mean the guy who got himself killed by a political opponent for allegedly abusing his power and tampering with the election in the House of Representatives?

Schiff: Just get me on the new $10 bill and I’ll be happy. Oh, and run Trump and Pence out of office. Forgot.

Forget that...I’d like to see treason and two fistfuls of other charges. What these democrats have done is nothing short of real treasonous acts to subvert the authority of the President and the American people.

The reason Schiff and Nadler are leading the pack on this witch hunt is that Nancy Pelosi’s son was in the same ‘position’ as Joe Biden’s son. Nancy (via Hillary) has the real dirt on Schiff and Nadler and if her son goes down, the public will find out just what Schiff and Nadler have to hide.

That is why there is no limit to what they will say or do.

"But I thought Schiff was the greatest orator since Demosthenes."

Since Billy Clinton, it has always been about the "cult of personality". Not to say Schiffhead has a personality, but he did present his lies in a statesman like manner. I knew the moment I saw lying Schitt do his little parody of the Trump transcript that it would come back to bite him.

Stupid is as stupid does. Did he not remember that anything said on the House floor is entered into public record? Sheesh, what a fool. I would bet the Nansy is crapping herself right now for being pressured by newbie socialists in moving forward with this farce. She knew better, but wimped out for The Squad.

Mr. Schiff might want to re-think the name of his book. Stephen Coonts wrote a Tom Clancy-esque book titled “The Minotaur” in 1989 that was released in October 1990.

Book titles cannot be copyrighted.

Take any title, like ‘The Outsider”, for example, and search Amazon. There are many different books using the same title.

Also, authors don’t always get to craft the title. Editors often do that, just like with headlines.

Not sure if this holds true for screenplays/titles of plays/titles of TV episodes or series.
