Trump needs to really, really, really be worried about Adam Schiff. He's not effing around AT ALL.

At the same time candidate Trump publicly urged sanctions relief for Russia, he was privately putting together a business deal in Moscow that required lifting US sanctions. Then President Trump and his confederates misled the country about it, in a way that left him compromised.

1. He's a true

patriot. Go get them all.

[FakeNoose]

2. Rep. Adam Schiff is ready to lead, and he'll do a great job

I've enjoyed his appearances on MSNBC very much, he's smart and he communicates well.
He's never fooled by the GOP because he always assumes the worst.

[pdsimdars]

3. Seems like he may make a deal and step aside before the Dems take over.

That would be the smart thing to do. But then again, this is Donnie, so probably the smart thing is off the table.

4. Adam Schiff, next president please!

My dream ...

[monmouth4]

7. I am so with you on that dream. From the first moment I heard him speak, I just knew he was the one

to intelligently lead this country. Smart on all fronts.

[tblue37]

13. He would be a good candidate. nt

[kacekwl]

12. Yes please.

[ancianita]

15. Totally with you. He'd be a great president with brilliant judgment.

[OMGWTF]

25. Brilliant and cool as a pint of ice cream.

[A Brand New World]

16. He has my vote too!

5. Referring to him as "Schitt"

might have been yet another tactical error.

Trumpsky's ghostwriters are doing him no favors. The little digs, the "clever" nicknames, and the repetitive cries of "witch hunt", while energizing to his base, have done much to reveal the shallowness of the thing in the WH to everyone else.

[trev]

11. Hm

Shades of GW Bush.

IMO, Bush's sycophants is where Trump found his base, ready and waiting for him.

6. And they are goddamn Confederates too.

Fucking traitors, the lot of them.

8. Rachel Maddow did a fantastic, step-by-step explanation of how this happened. If you get a chance

to check it out online--go for it (it's maybe 15 minutes--was shown on her Friday show, I think, and replayed on Joy Reid this morning a little after 10 AM EST).

9. That makes it straightforward

Even that clear it won't bother the deplorables or the party. Although these days there is not much of a distinction between the two.

Peace

10. Good!

I hope herr orangey, dick tator never gets another moment of comfort in this life. I hope the worry consumes him from the inside out. He deserves everything he gets from here on out.

[BSdetect]

17. He has the composure of a leader.

[spooky3]

21. Like No Drama Obama, but definitely willing to deal with conflict and to confront things

that must be confronted. I like him a lot.

[Major Nikon]

18. Just remember you get to tell your grandchildren...

I was there when the wheels came off.

19. Schiff would be a great candidate and a good President

but can he win? There are several Dems that would be good candidates and would make good Presidents and that is what gives me some concerns. The Dems in the past have occasionally been in that situation and the primaries would cause fights among the candidates and splits in the party. They shoot themselves in the foot and wind up losing the general election.
They need to unify the party and have all Democrats supporting and turning out on election day. I have written a thread that I will post soon I think will be a solution to that and almost guarantee a victory.

20. I love that Schiff has experience as a Los Angeles prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office with

a history of prosecuting an FBI agent guilty of passing government secrets to the Soviet Union back in 1990

22. Good. But Trump has been compromised by a lot more than that. nt

[dalton99a]

23. Kick

[MFGsunny]

24. They don't come much better (IMHO)...

... in terms of integrity, competence, judiciousness, and temperament.

[mr_lebowski]

27. Lets also not forget that the very first person to get Trump to publicly compromise himself ...

Saying 'there's no need for Sanctions on Russia' ... was the indicted Russian spy Maria Butina, at a 2015 'press conference' type thing on the campaign trail, who he conveniently called upon to ask this question, even though she's a complete nobody.

Trump had already been told through back channels that he needed to go on record publicly saying he was against the sanctions ... otherwise, Putin & the sanctioned state bank was not going to even CONSIDER moving forward with the project.

Her presence there, and her asking that question, was probably a HUGE tip-off to Mueller off as who she actually is, and what she was up to ... and by extension, what Trump was up to.
