Schiff: Trump’s Team ‘Basically Has Admitted’ Trump ‘Acted Corruptly’
Breitbart ^ | 01/28/2019 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 01/29/2020 6:18:55 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show,” House Impeachment Manager and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) stated that President Trump’s impeachment defense team “basically has admitted” that President Trump engaged in corrupt behavior, “tried to cheat” in the 2020 election, and “used the money to coerce or extort the leader of Ukraine into doing his political dirty work.”

Schiff said, “[T]he president’s team basically has admitted that Donald Trump acted corruptly, withheld this money, tried to cheat in the next election, used the money to coerce or extort the leader of Ukraine into doing his political dirty work. And so, all we can fall back on now is, so what? The Constitution doesn’t allow us to do anything about it.”

Not at all what I heard for the defense team. Schiff is making up stuff again.

This dude is such an unaccomplished liar. It’s been shown and proven that he cowardly hides behind his position as a congressman to avoid consequences of his lies.

It's tough to believe that even Pelosi has been taken in by this lame troll using every single stupid chat room game. Who let this child loose?

I realize he had the money and perversion machine of Buck with him to get elected in the heart of perversion land, but is everyone in Congress so afraid of that money and perversion machine that no one will ever just publicly state the fact that he's a childish troll playing word games with not a shred of evidence for anything he says?

Someday his turn will come. He's just know when yet.

What goes around, comes around.

Meanwhile, in the real world, Trump is just moving along as if these guys don’t exist.

Just think, you’re a member of congress. You’re being paid to stay home, and do nothing.

Meanwhile, the president of the US, unlike those before him who would be hunkered down in some bunker each morning, is shaving, putting on a clean shirt, Brooks Bros blue suit and power tie, and fighting the battles that need to be fought for us.

OTOH, you have the John Bolton’s of the world, whom Trump finally realized was a jerk...and fired him.

I say...LET THESE BAST*RDS VOTE...WHAT EVER HAPPENS HAPPENS. LET THEM CHAT AND CAHT TILL JULY. WE KNOW NOW WHO ROMNEY IS, AND THE REST FRANKLY, BUT JUST MAYBE...

JUST MAYBE, YOU MIGHT GET A DEM OR TWO WITH COURAGE TO DO THE RIGHT THING...

~~~

Their standards for ‘corruptly’ could be applied to 80%+ of DC politicians, particularly those who have been their for a significant amount of time.

We are not talking about real and legal corruption here, like accepting board positions for connections and influence. That kind of corruption is measurable and evidential.
What he is talking about is diplomatic and geopolitical negotiation, which very often blurs lines between state goals and strategies and party goals and strategies, ALL THE TIME, and has no personal financial gain to be made; IE: real corruption

Every time Schiff opens his mouth it is for his primary audience: The low information voters that just assume that if he says it, it is true. Their numbers are shrinking, though.

Yes but Schiff’s job is feeding raw meat to the wacky part of the Rat party (Probably now 40% of the party!) to keep them energized and coming to the polls on November.

The problem for Pelosi is Schiff is so bad at it that it looks more pathetic then motivating.

Anyone can play this game — Schiff has basically admitted that he killed Seth Rich.

I disagree. I think it could be applied to 100% of all of humanity. It is the “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” litmus test.

Seriously. That is how I take his accusations. And since Jesus is not running for public office, we must choose the best from this flawed lot walking the earth today. And I think we chose this particular president quite wisely.
