Schiff under pressure by Republicans to resign says this.

[MelissaB]

Watch. Every. Minute.

Adam Schiff goes off, lists the Trump Tower meeting, sharing of polling data, call to hack Clinton, Kushner back channel, and more: "You might say that's all OK ... I think it's unpatriotic. And yes, I think it's corrupt and evidence of collusion."

Link to tweet

Edited to say Kevin McCarthy posted a letter all 9 Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee signed calling for Schiff to resign.

[RockaFowler]

1. This is why they want him to resign

He has the receipts!!

[KPN]

32. BINGO -- and the skill to bring them down, the whole kit and kaboodle.

[certainot]

49. they want him to resign because limbaugh's been polluting the 'court of public opinion'

yelling all investigating dems need to be investigated. starting his show off right now to 15 mil that schiff needs to be forced off the committee. and we let 88 universities support 260 limbaugh stations. what americans can see on fox is minor compared to what’s going on on the radio.

searching news.iheart.com/featured/rush-limbaugh/content +schiff or mueller of nadler will get hits to iheart transcripts of his — he’s been attacking obama for two years blaming obama/clinton/soros and the ‘deep state’ since inauguration, while sitting behind his call screener and probably taking calls from russian think tanks, maybe reading their emails

limbaugh pointed out recently 'Trump Picks Up My “Pencil Neck” Nickname for Schiff' and reminding everyone he started calling him that march 15, 2017

limbaugh recently upped the attacks on obama

so far democrats and the left have done nothing and soon the cons are going to start calling for investigations of all the obama people and probably obama, trying to get them under oath — and they will when they get the house back and might try with the senate — mostly all of coming out of limbaugh’s ass

and we let 88 major universities support 260 of this putin tool's radio stations…

dems need offense or they going to force more delays and compromise

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

77. Is Limbaugh still broadcast on the Armed Forces Radio Network?

[certainot]

79. i don't know. i suspect we would have heard a lot of whining and screaming from him if

he was dropped

[ck4829]

91. Yep

[SummerSnow]

2. You tell em' Adam

[PeeJ52]

3. Awesome!!!

Go Adam!!!

[BigmanPigman]

70. I just called his office and said the same thing, "Go Adam!".

His staffer asked me, "Are you calling to support him?" and I said of course. I got the feeling she has been getting a lot of calls today, at least her CA office did.

[CrispyQ]

4. The GOP lost its way a long time ago. -nt

[kentuck]

5. Schiff for President!

Wow!

[gratuitous]

23. Tempting

But I want him right where he is for now, sitting in the chairman's seat and wielding the gavel. That laundry list of transgressions needs to be run down every day, and Republicans need to hear it every day. If they have a response or an excuse, let's hear it. What we'll get instead is what we got in that video: Uncomfortable squirming in their seats and resentful silence.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

53. the general public needs to hear that laundry list daily

Schiff couldn't present a comprehensive list of foul deeds by this regime, or he'd still be talking. We have a 24 hour news cycle, however, so the general public should hear of those transgressions every day.

[Perseus]

65. I'm with you, he would make a great President

Not sure why he has not thrown his hat in the mix

[democratisphere]

6. Rethugs are criminals to be ignored.

Adam Schiff will get to the truth of drumpf's collusion and obstruction.

[Perseus]

66. They cannot be ignored, they are very evil and you cannot take your eyes away from people like that

What Democrats need to do is not be quiet about outing these thugs, make public all their evil actions, attack with force.

[democratisphere]

67. Their threatening blather is what should be ignored.

[ginnyinWI]

7. This man is worth his weight in gold. n/t

[smirkymonkey]

8. Stay strong, Rep. Schiff!

[watoos]

9. Someone needs to ask McCarthy,

if this was a witch hunt, why did he tell Paul Ryan that Trump and Rohrabacher are being paid by Putin.

What gave him that notion?

[MelissaB]

14. Exactly! I reminded McCarthy of that in the tweet.

I posted this link.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/house-majority-leader-to-colleagues-in-2016-i-think-putin-pays-trump/2017/05/17/515f6f8a-3aff-11e7-8854-21f359183e8c_story.html?utm_term=.e0c3a8cb4ee0

[watoos]

41. Yup, and the just a joke story was their 3rd explanation.

If it was just a joke why did Ryan say to keep it from going public? Did McCarthy make up the joke by himself or hear it from someone else? If he made it up himself what was the reason?

Seriously, this hot mic event needs more scrutiny. Pressure needs to be put on McCarthy and Ryan to explain themselves. Can you imagine if Pelosi and Hoyer did this?

[mnhtnbb]

10. Good on Adam Schiff!

Those smarmy, self-righteous Republican tools of Russia couldn't even look at him. Then started talking to themselves while he was talking.

I want to see hordes more Republicans go down to defeat in 2020. I want to see indictments all over the country against these traitorous sacks of $hit. I want to see the Republican party forever destroyed.

And what I'd really like to see? I'd like to see Republicans thrown into cages the way they have caged families with children at our southern border. People only trying to seek a new life in a country built on immigration.

Fu*king Republicans. They deserve nothing but contempt for their immoral, unethical, and corrupt behavior.

[BeyondGeography]

11. Thanks for the political opening, fools

If Trump and his lackeys in Congress were (yeah, I know, fat chance) anything resembling conciliatory in “victory,” Schiff wouldn’t be making this speech and reminding the casual voter out there what the fuss was about. By offensively going on the offensive with nothing but more lies, they’re the ones keeping this scandal alive more than anyone. Idiots.

[NoMoreRepugs]

12. US Democracy is under attack by Repugs.

2020 is going to be the now or never moment in our history.

[efhmc]

18. Here is what I wrote on Tweeter.

If we just had one GOPer with the integrity of Adam Schiff, I would feel much more secure about the continuance of our democracy.

[FiveGoodMen]

63. US Democracy has been and continues to be rejected by 1 in 3 Americans

[Johonny]

13. Schiff knows how to play the game. Next up, Schiff should hand a letter calling for Trump to resign

because he lies and leaks more than anyone

[Squinch]

15. He's not actually under any pressure, as everyone knows this is bullshit.

[lunatica]

50. It's obvious they're trying to distract Congress and the American people

That’s their only game right now, so they will be attacking the Democratic leadership for the foreseeable future. They have nothing else.

But Schiff and the Democratic leadership and Comittee Chairs are prepared for it this time. When they reply with the list of treasonous activities by Trump it effectively stings the Republicans (as in scorpion sting) far worse than anything the Republicans say.

Schaffer’s, Pelosi, Waters, Nadler et all know this. They have their talking points.

[NewJeffCT]

16. Adam Schiff versus House Republicans

is a huge intellectual mismatch. Schiff is smarter than all of them combined

[JAD]

19. He should call the former Republican. Representative to testify that recorded McCarthy

McCarthy said Putin pays trump on the tape. Schiff should call former Repub. Representative Evan McMullin to testify and tell him to bring all his recordings of the traitor repubs.

[Cbarwitz]

20. They'll hide that report forever

This tells me Trump is using that letter to bully opposition, and will delay release of it as long as possible, and then only as little as possible. Its a joke.

Barr blatantly playing this delay strategy to create the narrative. The dems need to use their power to subpoena Mueller and stop letting Trump get away with this.

[Perseus]

27. He has until April 2 then we will see what happens

Subpoenas should start bombarding them.

[slater71]

21. This is what Schiff should say to Trump.

I have a deal for you Don. I will resign the day you resign so until you want to do that, than shut the fuck up.

[demmiblue]

22. K&R

[TruckFump]

24. Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! K&R

[Perseus]

25. Run for office Adam

then you can put all those crooks in jail.

[karin_sj]

26. I love Adam Schiff!

That was one hell of a righteous rant! And those rebukes looked so guilty and couldn't even look at him. They know exactly what they're doing and they just don't care. It's all about hanging onto their power at all costs because they know they are complicit and compromised and they know that if the orange asshole goes down, they do too.

They really thought that it was a great idea to obey their dear leader and go after Schiff. Not such a great idea after all.

[LuvNewcastle]

28. Schiff is one of the most important Dems we have right now.

He's probably as important as Pelosi. He's not going anywhere!

[writes3000]

29. EVERY news program should air this in its entirety!

[watoos]

43. Every news program should ask McCarthy,

to explain himself. If this was just a witch hunt why did he tell Paul Ryan that Trump and Rohrabacher were being paid by Putin? Where did he hear that? Why did he say that, even in jest?

Too bad every news program is controlled by American oligarchs.

[mr_lebowski]

57. NO SHIT ... In fact what would be amazing is if Schiff got the recording that WaPo heard ...

And played it before the American People on CSpan, on the Floor of the House ...

In fact I'd bet you if the Trump and the House Pukes keep pulling this bullshit, he's going to find a way to do exactly that.

[Mr. Ected]

30. Sure don't remember Dems calling for a maniacal Devin Nunes to resign

After the shenanigans of the past couple years, these putrid fuckbuckets have a helluva nerve.

[lagomorph777]

35. Well, I called for Devil Nunes to be arrested - does that count?

[RVN VET71]

42. Nunes and the other "bad boys"

all sat their smirking like the punks they all are, like a group of bottom feeding high schoolers called to the Principal's office and called out for bullying, for racism, for completely lacking any concern or compassion for their fellow students. You know, the "cool dudes", showing the world that they just don't give a sh*t about being good, honest, and decent.

Wish Schiff had a bullshit-pie to smash into Nunes' face. But, actually, a few dozen pies -- because there're a lot of Republican faces that need one.

The GOP is a dead Party. That, or it is the major Party of a dead America.

[DeminPennswoods]

88. IIRC, Peosi did ask Ryan to remove Nunes from

his chairmanship. Again, iirc, that's at least part of the reason Nunes "recused" himself.

[True Dough]

31. Damn! That man is a patriot!

Something Trump could never relate to, despite his flag hugging B.S.

[lagomorph777]

33. Wow, the Russiapublican Caucus is scared shitless.

[rainin]

34. He said he "accepts Robert Mueller's findings". He should continue to say he "will accept Robert

Mueller's findings" as soon as he is able to read them in full.

[KPN]

36. Epic. Adam Schiff is a huge threat to Trump and all the GOP goons who are in on the conspiracy

against honest USA elections.

He is a courageous man in my opinion.

[malaise]

37. Schiff is not under any pressure to resign

Please

[lunatica]

51. Yes, but since he's nobody's fool

he uses their calls for him to resign as an opportunity to roll out Trump’s list of traitorous activities and policies. That’s not a waste of time.

That’s politics! Dontcha love it?!

[malaise]

52. I love what Adam is doing

but we should not give these fascists any coverage of bullshit - they can't touch him.

[lunatica]

56. True

But he is using the opportunity to remind everyone on both sides of the long list of Trump’s treasonous crimes. That’s not A waste of time. That’s deliberate. He also did it so it would get coverage so we could see him doing it.

That’s what I mean by ‘that’s politics’.

Repetition counts. He and the Democratic leadership and Committee Chairs are all doing to Trump and the Republicans what the Republicans did to Hillary for more years than I care to count. Only this time the Democrats aren’t making shit up.

The Truth hurts and repeating it again and again hurts even more.

[Jim__]

38. Shout it out loud! Every day, shout it out loud! - n/t

[Paladin]

39. Bravo! K&R. (nt)

[Cary]

40. Godspeed Adam

[Volaris]

44. Lol if they're THAT scared of him that they want him to quit,

I'd say that means he's due for a promotion.

[dinger130]

45. I am so proud of him.

A true patriot.

[Ponietz]

46. There's my guy again telling me the evidence of my own eyes and ears is real

[GoCubsGo]

47. The republicans on the House Intelligence Committee are good, little fascists, aren't they?

So is Kevin McCartholini.

[SHRED]

48. Under pressure?

LOL

[lunatica]

54. The headline should say

“Under pressure the Republican’s call for Adam Schaffer’s to resign.”

Now that’s much closer to the truth.

[MelissaB]

62. It says... "under pressure by Republicans"

I stand by it.

[lunatica]

78. I wasn't correcting the headline

I was being snarky and changing it to make it say something different.

I didn’t realize my intent wasn’t clear.

[ehrnst]

55. I'm betting there are GOP private investigators looking for anything they can to smear him

And from what I've seen on twitter, even when they can't, the RW starts rumors.

[Lonestarblue]

58. Democrats need to remind Republicans of their own investigations.

Schiff is trying to investigate real potential crimes, while we all know that Hillary’s Benghazi investigations were not because anyone thought a crime had been committed but because they wanted to damage her as a candidate.

[beachbum bob]

59. no one really cares what any republican thinks about schiff

[LiberalFighter]

60. Wow! Great takedown.

[RussellCattle]

61. Our idiot Republican friends are upping their game, which should come ...

....as no surprise to anyone. They used to constantly demand an apology for any real or imaginary slight when called out for their words or actions. Now an apology is not enough for their fevered little brains, they demand a resignation. And get owned by Congressman Schiff.

[coeur_de_lion]

64. I can't believe they think anyone

Would fall for this bullshit.

Resign indeed.

Individual 1 needs to resign.

[KewlKat]

68. kick

[marble falls]

69. Just because they're clamoring for his scalp doesn't mean they can force the issue. This is ...

all hot air and I bet all this causes for Adam Schiff is bemusement.

[red dog 1]

71. K&R, thanks for posting

Adam Schiff is awesome!

[DeminPennswoods]

72. On par with Joseph Welch's famous quote

during the Army-McCarthy hearings.

[greyl]

73. Yup. Schiff just got real. nt

[Kurt V.]

74. that.is.powerful.

[Rabrrrrrr]

75. Oh, how I wanted him to keep on going! That was amazing!!

Way to go, dude!

[WhiteTara]

76. The part that was so wonderful that they didn't show

was when some republicon tried to hijack the meeting and Schiff cut his mike. The camera is focused on his face and he is doing everything he can not to laugh out loud. It was wonderful. You can watch the entire hearing here
https://www.c-span.org/video/?459258-1/house-intelligence-committee-examines-russian-election-interference-tactics

[Hassler]

80. There is no pressure on him, only GOPee trolling.

[klook]

81. Sucks to be the minority party, doesn't it, assholes?

You guys can have all the power you ceded to the Democrats when you were in charge and holding eleventy-billion Benghazi hearings. Now kindly go pound sand.

[GETPLANING]

82. The GOP is now the party without a country

And they are on the run

[Meowmee]

83. 👍🏻

This needs to be in a campaign speech.

[Stuart G]

84. k and r...nt.

[czarjak]

85. Shiff for President...

Everybody else kindly step aside. Thank you.

[mahina]

86. Donate to his campaign site at adamSchiff.com. I did today.

You’ll feel great.

[DeminPennswoods]

87. Maddow played the entire speech and then

Last edited Fri Mar 29, 2019, 03:43 PM - Edit history (1)

the part afterwards where one of the R members asks Schiff to yield so they can respond to what he just said. Schiff said he would not yield, but the member kept asking and trying to talk over him. Schiff said he would not yield and told the Rs they could use their 5 minutes (of question time) to respond to his opening remarks if they wanted. Then he told Amb McFall the floor was his.

ETA: The full episode was on Maddow, not O'Donnell's show.

[NCjack]

89. Demand that the Repubifukians change the name of their party

to the Pro Putin Political Front.
