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."

Check out Buck’s belt buckle. One of his victims?
So tell us who are those people with Schiff?
Schiff’s pants are wet around the crotch. Either he peed himself or he popped his load.
I want to see Shifty go face to face with Dersh, not some sycophant like Stepstoolanopolis.

Maybe he just took a runny Schiff with his pants on.
Supposedly it is the LAST warm and fuzzy feeling one gets is when they Schiff their pants.
Putting Dershowitz on for the oral arguments about the constition was a masterful stroke by Trump. He is a known anti-Trump person, so this comes across as not partisan. And since Dershowitz has been a darling of the left, they have had him on a lot of shows this weekend.
More MAGA by Trump and Company.... Same with Ken Starr...
Schiff thinks he could win a legal contest with Dershowitz? We knew he was delusional but this bad? Now we know!
Schiff has this problem with standing and urinating at the same time. It's why he prefers to sit down to void his bladder.
Another idea. Get a portrait of Schiff, a picture of Ed Buck and a picture of the black fellow that died in Buck’s house a year or so back. Side-by-side, with Schiff saying, “We didn’t get him before he was born so we called in our specialist, Ed to do the job.” Or something like that.
They look like a bunch of gay pedos
Which alley is at war with Russia? Are they winning? 8>)
I think that is Ed Buck on the end in the blue shirt.
Schiff is asking Dershowitz to prove a negative. And then when he does, Schiff complains that proving the negative is proof of a crime.
We cannot live with this people anymore.
