Trump says lead impeachment Democrat Schiff has not paid 'price, yet'

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the Democratic lawmaker leading the impeachment case against him, Representative Adam Schiff, has “not paid the price, yet” for his actions, a statement Schiff said he viewed as a threat.

The vitriol from Trump against Schiff and other Democrats followed three days of their arguments in his impeachment trial before the U.S. Senate on charges he abused the power of his office by pressuring Ukraine to investigate a political rival, and then tried to obstruct an investigation by Congress.

“Shifty Adam Schiff is a CORRUPT POLITICIAN, and probably a very sick man. He has not paid the price, yet, for what he has done to our Country!” Trump said on Twitter.

Asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” if he took the Republican president’s social media post as a threat, Schiff said, “I think it’s intended to be.”

Schiff said on NBC he was making the argument “that it’s going to require moral courage to stand up to this president.”

“This is a wrathful and vindictive president,” he said. “I don’t think that there’s any doubt about it and if you think there is, look at the president’s tweets about me today, saying that I should pay a price.”

It takes two thirds vote to expel or censure, so it probably won’t happen.

The best thing is to take back the House so that Schittforbrains, Lard@ass, the Botoxed B*tch, etc lose their leadership positions.

No, Schiffhead, it was part parody.

“Another unbiased article :)”

I’m looking forward to when the battle is over and unbiased analyses can be done of what Trump did.

“Is there any evidence Schiff is a gay boy?”

Is he a drama queen? Can you picture him figure skating?

the wording maybe could have been a bit smoother but PDJT is 100 percent correct

Schiffty Sheitt has proven to be a complete LIAR and at some point there’s usually payback...call it karma or “what goes around...” or “those that plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same” (Job 4:8)...or “The trouble they cause recoils on them; their violence comes down on their own heads.” (Psalms 7:16)...or “.. for all they that take up the sword shall perish with the sword” (Matthew 26:52).

So far the only person I can think of anyway, who has done much (much!) evil and gotten away with it is SorozNazi. And he has tens of billions of dollars and hundreds of goons defending him.

It’s important for the historical record to show the shameless mendacity of Schitt.

The Republicans must file an ethics complaint with an exhaustive list of his blatant lies. The also should call for his resignation from Congress.

Schiff is going to go down in flames as he crashes all hopes of defeating Trump.

Kalifornia will make him a senator. Bet.

Sounds like he is reading minds again, as to Pres. Trump’s true intent/what he is thinking/what he really means. Just like he and the other dems are doing with those involved in the Shampeachment.
