Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the lead House manager in President Trump's Senate trial, said Sunday that there is nothing Democrats could have done differently during the impeachment process.

Ahead of the Senate’s likely vote to acquit President Trump on Wednesday, Schiff defended Democrats’ methods and said that he and his colleagues “proved” their case.

“Look, there's nothing that I can see that we could have done differently because as the senators have already admitted, we proved our case. We proved our case,” Schiff said on CBS's “Face the Nation.”

**SNIP**

CBS’s Margaret Brennan asked Schiff if it was a “misstep” to drop the subpoenas of some witnesses, including for former White House national security adviser John Bolton, during the House inquiry.

Schiff said it “wasn’t at all,” noting that it could have been a couple of years before courts reached a decision on Bolton.

They would have won if only Schiff had gotten to give the closing Q&A statement instead of Nadler.

The Rats could have presented evidence of actual wrongdoing.

. . . apparently there wasn’t any.

They did all the could, claiming that because Joe Biden is a Democrat, he can’t be investigated - whereas it wasn’t enough that President Trump was investigated six ways from Sunday, and came out cleaner than a hound’s tooth.

Pants on fire.

Nads must have been plotting his move.

Bad things are going to happen to Sciff, possibly including murder.

Unfortunately there was no clear winner in the Foreign Language Performance. Son of Spartacus and Val with the Cheap Wig were in a tie that could not be reconciled. :(

Dear Adam;

You could have tried for honesty instead of half-truths and politics. Oh, but you had so much fun making things up and being the darling of the MSM.

[livius]

Yes, Schiff is totally odious. I lived for years in the district of his fat “frenemy,” Nadler, who used to stand at the top of the subway steps and stick out his hand so you couldn’t get by him without shaking his fat little paw . Well, actually you could, so when he tried to grab my hand, I gave him a look that made him reconsider.

Shiffty shoulda stuck with Rooskie Collusion.

[jospehm20]

I guess Schiff doesn’t consider conspiring with NSC staffers to set up the duly elected President and start this whole bogus witch hunt as something he could have done differently. Schiff is the most screwed up excuse for a human I have ever seen.

Ummmmmm........a shame.

[genghis]

The impeachment must have increased the democrats negatives
