House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) on Sunday slammed liberal law professor Alan Dershowitz for his stance on the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.
Although Dershowitz voted for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Harvard Law professor is taking part in President Trump's legal defense. Dershowitz's responsibility will be to explain how the Democrats' articles of impeachment fail to meet the Constitutional criteria of "treason, bribery or high crimes and misdemeanors."
"The facts aren't seriously contested. The president withheld hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to an alley at war with Russia, withheld a White House meeting that the president of Ukraine desperately sought to establish with his country and with his adversaries the support of the United States in order to coerce Ukraine into helping him cheat in the next election," Schiff told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos.
The House Intelligence Committee Chairman said the White House is shifting its strategy because the "facts can't be contested." Schiff specifically cited the Trump administration's claim that the president can't be impeached on the two articles the House set forth: obstruction of justice and abuse of power.
Stephanopoulos quoted Dershowitz's previous statement that even if abuse of power could be proven, that isn't an impeachment offense.
Schiff disagreed.
"That's the argument you have to make if the facts are so dead set against you," he replied. "...You have to rely on this argument that even if he abused his office in this horrendous way that it's not impeachable. You had to go so far out of the mainstream to find someone to make that argument. You had to leave the realm of constitutional law scholars and go to criminal defense lawyers."

Schiff is.....Maduro, Chavez
Rainbow butterfly country?
schiff is a serial child rapist and liar
who helped murder witnesses.
that makes charles manson more believable.
“Whats with the strange bowties”?
They are Rainbow colors. We know what that means.
Schiff orders a pizza:
“Get me a nice hot pizza with sausage and pepperoni, and I want it in your guaranteed delivery time of 30 mins or it’s free!”
“Yes sir. We will have it there in 20 mins!”
25 mins later:
Ding Dumb! “Here’s your pizza sir!”
“It’s been 25 mins! You said 20 mins,so it’s free”
“Is it a sausage and pepperoni pizza?”
“Yes”
“Is it nice and hot?”
“Yes”
“Did I deliver in 30 mins or less?”
“Yes”
“Then go Phuck yourself and have a nice day!”
“ I’m....I’m sueing your company!”
Or haircuts with Yul Brenner.
“You had to go so far out of the mainstream to find someone to make that argument. You had to leave the realm of constitutional law scholars and go to criminal defense lawyers.”
In other words, you had to leave the realm of those who can spew whatever they want under the guise of acedemic freedom to those who have to actually back it up in a real court of law.
the media sure seems rattled that Dershowitz is doing this ....especially CNN. i thought Toobin was gonna start crying the other night.
No clue about this impeachment nonsense. The Senate cannot force the President to spend money (See the wall that wasn’t built for years). The Congress can’t even force the President to follow laws (See DACA). Since when does the President have to give anyone a meeting. This whole thing is a joke. Even if the President did everything they said (which he didn’t) it still amounts to absolutely nothing. Good argument to never given Ukraine another dime. If Russia wants it, they can fight for it and if Ukraine doesn’t want it they’ll have to fight back. If they want military equipment, pay for it like the rest.
That pic is priceless. OK, I see Schiff and Lieu. Anybody know who the others are?
Probably a fag rally.
gay pride day? all of them are rainbow pattern
Here’s How Schiff Responds to a Liberal Law Professor Disagreeing With His Impeachment Take>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Schiff says at length:
“Derka. derka, Mohamad jihad, hacka sherpa, backa Allah!”
( Hackmed, Team America World Police)
Have we not heard this before in an Islamofascist land far away? Schiff sounds the same. An idiot full of drivel.
Thats the level on which Schiff is operating and to think that the Senate will not grind him up for hamburger? Just watch.

Bill Clinton should have been charged with bribery, and found guilty of it. He had his pals Bill Richardson, and Vernon Jordon meet with Monica so they could find jobs for her, and in return she’d keep her mouth shut. If that isn’t bribery, then I don’t know what is.
$17 million per year salary and an inconveniently discovered $75,000 contribution to the Clinton Foundation........
Yea, that miniature little prick......
No one ever called Ukraine an ally when Obama was President. Is there any treaty that makes them an ally?
Trump had two good reasons to delay aid to Ukraine: to try to get the Europeans to contribute more help, and to try to get the Ukrainians to take rooting out corruption seriously. Schiff claims to know that Trump's real motive was his fear of Joe Biden and the desire to damage Biden in the 2020 election.
Trump's mention of Biden was clearly with reference to the video where Biden brags about blackmailing the Ukrainians into firing the prosecutor looking into corruption involving Burisma. Trump can use that video if Biden is the nominee. He doesn't need any additional Ukrainian evidence to use against Biden.
Why would Trump even think that "dirt" on Biden would hurt Biden's chances in 2020? Hillary had mountains of dirt and it did not stop 48% of the voters from voting for her.
Of course Hillary was running to be the first female President. Biden can just run to be the first President with dementia.
My gay radar just blew up. Bow ties scream gay. Enough said
Yup.
