Trump's in way over his head sparring with Schiff




Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
I can understand why the idea of meaningful oversight terrifies the President. Several of his close associates are going to jail, others await trial, and criminal investigations continue.

We’re going to do our job and won’t be distracted or intimidated by threats or attacks.

Super Seeding Indictments filed this morning are his end in sight of his lame ass Presidency. And Adam Schiff is just letting the US Citizens see how corrupt the Trump Crime Syndicate as well as others who have helped him create his Syndicate,will be exposed out in Public. Call it the Cleansing of the Political System,this should have been done with Nixon and we are seeing what has happened to our Nation as a result of not doing a true investigative move in that direction.

and are going to use the GOP as a launching pad to take back both the Senate and the White House. We will be rehashing these same phrases and stories next year at this time. Only thing that will interrupt this scenerio is,Trump resigns and Mike Pence is brought up on Corruption Charges,and then the Blue Tsunami will sweep most of the Rethugs out of Office for several Generations.

They won't bow down and kiss his ass. They aren't afraid of what Trump can do to them so they won't kowtow to him.

Trump attacks likely House Intelligence chair as 'little Adam Schitt' on Twitter

November 18, 2018

(CNN)President Donald Trump disparaged Rep. Adam Schiff in a profane tweet Sunday, misspelling his name "Schitt" and accusing the likely incoming House Intelligence chairman of baselessly criticizing the appointment of acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker.

"So funny to see little Adam Schitt (D-CA) talking about the fact that Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker was not approved by the Senate, but not mentioning the fact that Bob Mueller (who is highly conflicted) was not approved by the Senate!" Trump wrote.

Special counsel Robert Mueller was appointed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and like many other Department of Justice appointees, he did not require Senate confirmation for the position.
The White House did not immediately return CNN's request for comment Sunday evening on whether Trump purposely misspelled Schiff's name.


🤦🏽‍♀️

thinking of. trump lies his fucking head off like a sociopathic psycho, and it seems from reading DU, that the M$M doesn't call him out on it 24/7 like they did President Obama's tan suit and grey poupon.

Why don't they call out trump's ORANGENESS, too?

To question what comes out of someone’s mouth. They are either intellectually incurious or incapable of remembering anything.

There is the other thing ... they don’t know how to confront someone... they may be unable to handle uncomfortable situations and tackle the outright deception that is constantly used to keep the chaos in full force.

Republicans bitched incessantly about the promptness and completeness of the Obama Administration response to letters and subpoenas. Remember when Nunes and the Repubs found Holder in contempt of Congress, and that went nowhere with the Justice Department at the time.

I can see Trump easily quadrupling down on that process. Schiff is going to have to issue subpoenas, and the Trump Admin will take their own sweet time responding. And Trump's team will probably spend 2/3 of their day watching internet porn, and cracking jokes rather than actually working on producing documents for Schiff.

I think a childish "Little Adam Schitt" tweet you wrote says otherwise.
