There comes a point when you wonder if the House managers like Adam Schiff have been intentionally bat guano insane over the top on purpose, with the intention of of causing even the most squishy Republican Senators to say “enough. We don’t need witnesses, we don’t need to hear anymore, move on, vote to acquit”, which is meant to give Democrats election season talking points about collusion and Republicans not caring and such. Because we get things like this
Adam Schiff Warns Donald Trump Could Give Alaska to the Russians If Not Impeached
House Impeachment Manager and House Oversight Chairman Adam Schiff warned Monday that President Donald Trump might give Alaska to the Russians if he is not impeached.
Schiff disagreed with the president’s lawyers, who argued that Trump’s actions were not criminal and should thus not be considered impeachable.
He warned that they were setting a precedent that would only encourage Trump to pursue “unacceptable†actions if exonerated.
“Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election,†he said. “Or decide to move to Mar-a-Lago personally and let Jared Kushner run the country, delegating to him the decision whether to go to war.â€
Schiff said Senate Republicans would create a “runaway presidency†if they failed to remove him from office.
“We have known since the day we brought these charges that the bar to conviction requiring a full two-thirds of the Senate may be prohibitively high,†he said. “And yet, the alternative is a runaway presidency and a nation whose elections are open to the highest bidder.â€
Or, it could be that Adam Schiff is just completely nutso, that Donald Trump being president has driven him as mad as so many Democrats, and he just cannot even pretend anymore. This behavior is so deranged he should be asked to step down and let someone else sit in his elected seat. And, as Jason Chaffetz notes, he should have his security clearance pulled.
And Schiff has apparently made Rep Jason Crow bat guano insane
(The Hill) Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), a House impeachment manager, on Monday quoted the “Harry Potter†character Albus Dumbledore during his closing remarks in President Trump’s Senate impeachment trial.
The Colorado Democrat turned to the best-selling franchise when wrapping up his arguments, citing the Hogwarts headmaster in a quote that he said hangs on his son’s wall.
“My wife and I have tried to teach our kids that what we can always control are our choices,†Crow said.
“It’s in that spirit that hanging in my son’s room is a quote from ‘Harry Potter,’†he added. “The quote is from Professor Dumbledore, who said, ‘It is our choices that show who we truly are, far more than our abilities.’ â€
Sigh. Just vote and move on. I’ve seen people asking why the GOP didn’t just vote on aquital last Friday. Perhaps because it gives the Dems 5 extra days to be wackadoodle on the record on the Senate floor, great material for the the GOP for the 2020 elections.
