Trump's Senate impeachment trial, Day 2: Schiff warns of Russian attack, the need to protect 2020 election
Fox News ^ | 1/23/20

Schiff warns of Russian attack on US mainland, the need to protect 2020 election in Day 2 of Trump's Senate impeachment trial.

The Russians could attack the U.S. and removing President Trump from office is necessary to preserve the integrity of the 2020 election. Those were the claims Wednesday from Democrat Adam Schiff on Wednesday during Day 2 of Trump’s Senate impeachment trial.

The lengthy arguments from Schiff and other House Democrats broke little new ground, if any. Trump's lawyers sat by, waiting their turn, as the president blasted the proceedings from afar, jokingly threatening to face off with the Democrats by coming to "sit right in the front row and stare at their corrupt faces."

**SNIP**

Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, sought to keep the stakes high in his arguments. He suggested at one point that military aid to Ukraine was essential so the U.S. would not have to fight Russians at home.

"As one witness put it during our impeachment inquiry, the United States aids Ukraine and her people so that we can fight Russia over there, and we don't have to fight Russia here," Schiff said, drawing rebukes from commentators across the political spectrum.

The WSJ editorial today summarizes what the Democrats are doing is accusing Trump of a thought crime:
The House managers don’t assert that any specific action by President Trump was an abuse of power or a violation of law. They don’t deny he can delay aid to a foreign country or ask a foreign leader to investigate corruption. Presidents do that all the time. Instead they assert in their first impeachment article that Mr. Trump is guilty of “abuse of power” because he committed those acts for “corrupt purposes.”
So what then are the Democrats doing. They are using the power of the House - the power of impeachment - for political purposes.

What a sick, corrupt bunch.

Schift is like the kid who wakes up his parents in the middle of the night. He tells them there is an alligator under his bed and he wants some candy to keep it from eating his toys.

The dems have but one Hail Mary pass left.

They need to gin up a crisis, and it has to be a big one. In true *True Believer* style, *they* have to come up with the cure.

A foreign policy disaster won’t fly, our enemies are scared of President Trump and if anyone gets frisky, the CIC will let our troops shut their stuff down fast.

Maybe they can run with the flu thing or one of their own will experience a personal tragedy that they think the nation gives a rat’s rear about.

It will be their entirely predictable flop, only worse than ever before.

They will overplay it, way overshoot the runway, and wrap themselves around the axels.

They will never have the *cure* for anything. Collectively, the whole lot of them couldn’t change a flat tire, let alone run a country.

The only *cure* is allowing the Garadene pigs to continue their run.

:: They need to gin up a crisis, and it has to be a big one. ::

[They] tried it and failed, squelched by CiC-Trump.

War in the Middle East that involved Israel was the BIG event. Peach Mint articles would have been forgotten and never moved to the Senate. They were then forced to move the articles because Trump wouldn’t take their bait.

Soleimani was a Clown. al-Baghdaddi was a Clown.
Did you not wonder why [Clowns] became so “active” during the House hearings/investigations?
The future proves the past.

Schitt-For-Brains claims he still has evidence of Russian collusion and when it comes out, it will destroy the president. He’s just trying to get it all out there. :-)

".... Schiff is mentally ill...."

Schitt-For-Brains is a gay pedo. Why this hasn't been all over the press, I don't know. They cover for their own. He's involved with this Ed Buck guy who the FBI raided a while back. Ted Lieu looks to be involved as well. This stuff is not normal you see in the photos.

Schiff Connected to Sex and Drugs with Ed Buck

So just to make it “fair”, the Dems register and encourage illegal aliens to vote, “help” people vote at nursing homes and homes for mentally disabled adults, register dead people to vote and then request absentee ballots for them, “find” ballot boxes stuffed with ballots that just happen to ALWAYS help the DemocRat win in a close race, oppose any sort of citizenship test for registering to vote, and oppose ID requirements at the ballot box. Right?

The photos are real. Adam Schiff and Ted Lieu are involved with some weird sexual stuff with Ed Buck, who's mansion was raided by the FBI recently.

Ed Buck is a LGBTQ political activist and Adam Schiff's homosexual pride parade companion.

Two African-American men have been discovered dead in Buck's West Hollywood home since 2017 due to drug overdoses. Several reports indicated that Buck had a history of bringing African-American men to his house, where he would reportedly inject them with crystal methamphetamine for sexual gratification.

In January 2019, a coalition of 50 civil rights organizations called for law enforcement to investigate the matter. On September 17, 2019, Buck was arrested and charged with three counts of battery causing serious injury, administering methamphetamine and maintaining a drug house.

Embattled Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff is now (as of fall pf 2019) the target of a federal investigation focused on the Congressman’s more-than-frequent trips to Ed Buck’s ‘drug house,’ according to a Clinton Whistleblower and insider. Buck is a high-profile, millionaire Democratic benefactor who has contributed and bundled large amounts of cash to Democrats including Schiff, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris and the list goes on and on. Buck was arrested last month after a nearly-dead man escaped from Buck’s home after Buck allegedly plied him with meth. Larry Nichols is the consummate DC insider and operator. In fact, Bill Clinton in his biography described Nichols as a dangerous man. Clinton would know because Nichols spearheaded many of Clinton’s political black-bag Ops in Arkansas and Washington D.C for the Clinton cartel and beyond before he turned whistleblower. Nichols revealed on his weekly news show on CrowdSource the Truth that federal agents have traced Congressman Schiff at Buck’s drug mansion over a dozen times.

And now they want to know what Schiff was doing there. “(Attorney General William) Barr is looking into why Adam Schiff was at Buck’s place 16 times,” said insider Larry Nichols. “The reason Barr is obligated to look into Adam Schiff, and the fact that he was there 16 times, is because as a member of Congress if he saw at his time at Buck’s any illegal activity, he is obligated by law to report it. “And if he didn’t report it, then he is guilty of a crime.” Two men previously died at Buck’s mansion from drug overdoses but Buck was never charged by Los Angeles Police. Finally, Buck was charged in Sept. with running a drug house and doping up victims and then allegedly acting out his twisted sexual fantasies on the incapacitated victims, according to prosecutors. Buck targeted homeless men, according to prosecutors.

What’s disturbing is that Schiff’s living 2 lives; by day a ‘Congressman’ and a ‘family man’ and by night, drug induced party time in West Hollywood. Remember, Schiff is his Buck's buddy. He's not clean.

It was the weird dog mask photo that I was wondering about. Why any politician—in this case the Lieus—would pose in such a photo, regardless of their secret proclivities, is beyond me.

I knew about Ed Buck’s meth fueled homo hobby, and the two deaths. I also knew that he was a big Dem contributor and that Schiff knew him.

But, I didn’t know how often Schiff dropped in on Ed at home, or anything about the Lieus. Thanks for the additional info.

I hope Schiff is really investigated. Where’s there’s smoke, there’s fire.
