Schiff: If Trump Isn’t Removed He ‘Could Offer Alaska to the Russians in Exchange for Support in the Next Election’

SCHIFF: "But this has become the President's defense. And yet, this defense proved indefensible. If abuse of power is not impeachable, even though it is clear the Founders considered it the highest of all high crimes and misdemeanors, but if it were not impeachable, then a whole range of utterly unacceptable conduct and the president would now be beyond reach. Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election or decide to move to Mar-a-Lago permanently and let Jared Kushner run the country, delegating to him the decision whether to go to war. Because those things are not necessarily criminal, this argument would allow that he could not be impeached for such abuses of power. Of course, this would be absurd. More than absurd, it would be dangerous.“

Oh a bunch of gays in Socal...really like him.

[immadashell]

Trump offered Shiffty to the Russians...they just laughed!

[outofsalt]

"Oh no! What will happen to Deadliest Catch?"

They will reset that when 'Illary is in charge.

[Rashputin]

Schiff continues leading the democrat charge against Trump.

[outofsalt]

"Shiffty has a VERY active imagination. He should become a HollyWierd screen writer."

Drag queen story hour is the highest rung he might aspire to... Oh, wait, it is California...Governor or Senator?

Captain Adam Queer opines from the podium.. "Ah, but the strawberries, that's where I had them... ...They laughed at me..and made jokes... BUT I proved beyond a SHADOW OF A DOUBT...." 👀...

[smvoice]

QUEEG..NOT QUEER..WTH??!

[right way right]

Yeah, because Trump makes bad deals?!

I know one thing about Trump, he loves America more than getting reelected, very much so, unlike scumbags of Shiffs ilk.

This is really delicious.

Of course, the guy is off of his rocker. It is actually far more likely that Trump would try to buy half of Siberia than to even think for a moment of selling any part of the US (well, check that, perhaps parts of California and NYC).

But what is particularly delicious about this is that Nancy and the Dims have staked EVERYTHING on this one, particular (and peculiar) guy. It was on HIS word that this was done - he convinced (i.e. lied to) Nancy, and that stupid twit believed him, as did the rest of the Dim leadership. What a bunch of maroons.

Oh, and they are going to get SCHLONGED in November!

Schitt. The gift that just keeps on giving. Sort of like a delusional ever ready bunny 🐰

[immadashell]

I wonder if there enough Rat senators who don’t want to look like idiots to boost the number of acquittal votes?

In a sane world that could happen. In the insane RAT world it will never happen because the DNC has a dirt file on everyone of their people (D, loony tunes).

“If abuse of power is not impeachable, even though it is clear the Founders considered it the highest of all high crimes and misdemeanors,”

Uh, Adam, “abuse of power” is NOWHERE defined as a crime. There’s a good reason for that, because that is such an incredibly subjective thing that “abuse of power” is, in fact, an opinion. Opinions are not the basis for ANY criminal prosecution, let alone for undoing the last election of the President of the United States - no matter how long you stand on your head and hold your breath.

The thing is, Schiff KNOWS this. He’s not stupid - he’s just an uber-partisan, lying, immoral sack of steaming schiff.

This wasn’t even a nice try, Adam. It was a royal f-up, from the very beginning in the summer of 2016.

Go away.

Trump would probably give Alaska to the Russians if they would take a few dozen dems.

[crz]

Has ANYONE got the looney toons ending? You all know the one!

[oldasrocks]

Good Point. Most of us would be happy giving away californicate though. As long as we could build a fence first to keep them in.

[pepsionice]

On the ‘suspected-medication’ level....Schiff probably rates near a perfect ‘10’. At various times over the past year....I’ve felt that he’s on some type of drug when making a statement.

[DAC21]

Trump you magnificent bastard, you have driven $hit for brains completely over the edge. Baaaahahahaha

[Verginius Rufus]

At the Constitutional Convention George Mason proposed “maladministration” as one of the grounds for impeachment. James Madison objected to that as too vague. He didn’t want the President to serve at the pleasure of the Senate. “Abuse of power” is just as inappropriate a charge as “maladministration” would be.

[FLT-bird]

Nah. Much better to offer a blue state. Say, Massachussetts.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

You’re SURE it’s a metaphor?
