Here Are Details of Adam Schiff's Plan to Destroy Donald Trump

Or more precisely, to allow Donald Trump to destroy himself.


From the article:


Rep. Adam Schiff has some big plans next year when he takes the chairmanship of the House Intelligence Committee from Devin Nunes. And those plans involve destroying the presidency of Donald Trump.

Trump is his own worst enemy. His criminality and gross stupidity are destroying him, not any outside actors. This should be a bi-partisan affair, but the GOP is so complicit in Trump's criminality that we cannot rely on them to act in good faith againzt this clear and President danger.

He does everything off the cuff.

This might do to get him nervous and thus more incoherent and revealing things.

And cannot keep his lies straight.

Trump is his own walking perjury trap at this point.

...which is a clicky-baity site that has been predicting Trump’s imminent, any-day-now removal from office since practically the day he took office. It’s pretty much a Drudge Report for the left.

He didn't mention investigating Dr Ford's account of what Kavanaugh did to her and to other women. I want Schiff to do that too!

Which will be led by Jerrold Nadler, another smart and tenacious Representative. I believe that will be investigated by the Judiciary Committee though.

The different departments will have their different investigations. Cummings, Nadler and Schiff have looooong lists waiting for them to tackle beginning in Jan. GOODIE!

"we've got some great Committee chairs waiting for January!"

This mis-administration will be like a high-school team walking onto the football field to face an NFL Super Bowl Team.

It is SO IMPORTANT for the House to provide STRONG actions to support the constitutional balance of power that the chicken-shit pukes have been too weak to enforce.

If reasonable, legal oversight becomes seen as an intentional witch hunt, Trump wins the independents and undecideds.

Expecting Trump to comply with the law shouldn’t be framed as a plan to destroy him.

OP, I’m not aiming this at you at all. It’s a complaint about the way politicususa is framing this.

I see it more as ending his criminality and harm to this country, its people, and indeed the whole world. I see it as simply bringing him to justice. To say that we want to "destroy" him plays into the RW memes that liberals are unfairly targeting him.

I can't think of anyone I'd rather see as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee than Adam Schiff. He's a smart and capable leader, and he knows this stuff cold. He's ready to lead and he'll see it through.

If you can stomach calling trump "president," then he absolutely is "a clear and President danger."
