Adam Schiff tiptoes away from demand for Trump impeachment
2019-04-28
[NYPOST] Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), one of President Trump’s most relentless critics, is tiptoeing away from demanding his impeachment ‐ saying instead that it’s up to the nation to "vote his ass out of office."

"I’m not there yet on impeachment," Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said Friday night on HBO’s "Real Time with Bill Maher."

"I may get there. [Trump] may get me there," Schiff added.

"At the end of the day, Bill, there’s only one way to deal with this problem, whether we impeach him or not. And that is to vote his ass out of office."

On Sunday, Schiff said he expected House Democrats to debate going forward on impeachment hearings, after party leaders came under pressure from progressives to do so ‐ even though Special Counsel Robert Mueller did not find evidence that Trump’s campaign had colluded with Russia, as Schiff had charged.

Mueller’s report came to no conclusion about allegations that Trump had obstructed his investigation, but Attorney General William Barr decided not to pursue indictments into the matter

#9  It’s Hemingway, who used to have other opinions, equally strongly expressed.

#8  Schiff not pushing impeachment? He must figure his best option is to keep a low profile and try to duck incoming; otherwise he might get rolled up in all the HRC and Obean criminality being revealed. He did talk to Russians about dirt on Trump except the Russians were fake.

#4  Schiff was Hillary's running mate and they wese defeated. The fwo of them lost the election to the highest offices and are officially therefore the biggest losers in politics. They claim to have won the majority of the votes but were defeafed via the Electorial College. They think they, therefore, are legit and thus have a mandate to remove their opponent. Even if they have to lie, cheat or steal.

Wrong. The vast coastal populations are Dims. The vast majority of fly over is not. They ignored the vast majority of the least populated regions so the system worked, electorial college. and gave them a loss.

Trump was smart enough to know better so the system gave the smarter candidate the golden egg. The mid terms the Dims under estimated Trumps higher IQ again and he kept them from taking the Senate.

Packed rally in WI last night when Trump ignored the White House press dinner, the establishment pubs were never that smart. +3.2% GDP. The Dims? Dead end witch hunts. Continue to be the biggest losers.

#3  The American Military are our brothers and our sons and our own Fathers. The Democrats spit on us. They don't respect our sons and brothers and fathers and say that we are stupid...or else we would get "real " jobs. And we are neanderthals and not decent people. Democrats say that.

We are expected to say out of Politics and to have no political feelings. But the USMCorps swears an OATH to uphold the Constitution. That is what the GUNS are FOR. To Defend the United States against all enemies, DOMESTIC or foreign. And the Democrats spit on us. Not to sugar coat it but, do you know what the bottom line actually IS....our Job is killing people who hate the United States. Trump is the President who stands between you...and US. He is all that keeps Democrats alive. He protects Democrats with his word and his presence. As long as the Vote is not Democrat rigged...and the Constitution is THERE...and there is no COUP. You and all the other Democrats are safe. You can depend on us, we WILL protect you and even though you spit on us we will remain Loyal to that Constitution.
Clinton couldn't keep his fly zipped. Obama showed his butt bowing. We were OK with that. They were duly elected. But a COUP? Don't push your Luck.

#2  How stupid do the Democrats think the American People are? Hillary PAID $10 million dollars to get the Steele Dossier which was GRU DIZ informatsky...to actually use to frame Trump for doing what she just did AND paid ten million dollars to the Russians herself.

I got a quick clue for you: The American People are NOT stupid.

IF Barr does NOT pursue Indictments for Democrats attempting to stage a Coup against a Constitutionally elected President by UN elected Bureaucrats...then it must be a FACT that there are two kinds of Law in the US...one for the Bosses and another for the Peons. The American People will remember that unless they see Justice done.

The Law will get no Respect if it is only applied the Smollet way and the rest of the American Public is abandoned. Maybe you don't believe the American People are a GIANT.....don't wake the Giant, it is very big..... and its armed. And it isn't stupid.

#1  Have any of these treasonous slimes ever said exactly what Trump did to "obstruct" justice?

Other than firing Comey, which was perfectly legal, do they have anything at all?
