President Donald Trump and his allies on Monday ratcheted up their campaign against Rep. Adam Schiff as the White Houses Ukraine scandal entered its second week with Trump again suggesting the House Intelligence chairman committed treason.
Locked in a defensive crouch and staring down an impeachment inquiry, Trump continued to batter the California Democrat for allegedly mischaracterizing his July phone call with newly elected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Rep. Adam Schiff illegally made up a FAKE & terrible statement, pretended it to be mine as the most important part of my call to the Ukrainian President, and read it aloud to Congress and the American people, Trump wrote on Twitter. It bore NO relationship to what I said on the call. Arrest for Treason?
During Trumps conversation with Zelensky, the president urged his foreign counterpart to work with Attorney General William Barr to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son.

This fucking idiot doesn't know what treason is per our Constitution. Treason is betraying one's country. It's not opposition to the president. Trump would be charged with treason before Schiff would.
Maybe Giuliani should explain that to the dotard.

(22,911 posts)Maybe Trump could have scored a few points against Schiff on this, if he chose his moment carefully and was subtle. But, Trump? Careful? Subtle?
Schiff knows how to handle himself and is an ideal contrast to Trump. Side by side it ain't confusing which one is the raving idiot.
Sure, Trump's unshakable cheering section might eat it up, but Trump is just highlighting his laughable incompetence for everyone else.
