Adam Schiff's Report Cites No ‘Bribery' or ‘High Crimes'; Only Tweets

[Breitbart] The House Intelligence Committee report released by chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) on Tuesday cites no constitutionally permissible grounds for impeachment against President Donald Trump ‐ other than tweets.

Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution provides that impeachment shall be for "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." Notably, the Framers of the Constitution ruled out "maladministration" as a reason.

In Schiff’s 300-page report, Democrats failed to cite any specific grounds for impeaching the president.

Notably, though Schiff and others attempted to argue that the president had possibly committed "bribery" by allegedly asking the president of Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden in exchange for U.S. aid, there is no discussion of bribery whatsoever in the report ‐ other than references to Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s claims that Biden might be guilty of bribery because his son was on the payroll of Ukrainian gas giant Burisma.

The only references to any "crimes" allegedly committed by the president is a discussion of "witness intimidation."

Schiff and his Democrat majority attempt to argue that President Trump committed that crime by tweeting criticism of several witnesses against him, including calling them "Never Trumpers" and drawing attention to their testimony.

The report also cites Trump’s tweets criticizing former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch during her testimony, which clearly did not obstruct her testimony and which she would not have known about had Schiff not read them ‐ partially ‐ to her in the middle of the hearing. (Among Trump’s criticisms was that "the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him," which Yovanovitch could not explain.)

#2 #1 Deep state are desperate to cover up their ukraine scams! It's as obvious as Epstein was and similarly ignored by the MSM.

A key feature of The Shitshow is the Redirect: taking an obvious flaw or failure of one's own party, group, office or institution and attempting to assign this failure to one's opponents.

So top Democrats' family members' widespread pilfering of corrupt Ukrainian and Chinese companies while Biden and John Kerry were VP and Sec-State magically redirects the public to ... phantom corruption on the part of OrangeMan.

So the exploitation of foreign intelligence officers and foreign prosecutors, and manipulation or outright fabrication of "dirt" by paid campaign operatives working on behalf of the Clinton campaign in Russia, Ukraine, Malta, London, and Rome in order to influence a presidential election, magically redirects to .... ridiculous "collusion" charges and now, no clear accusation at all against OrangeMan.

We see you, folks.

We know you're lying and making sh!t up.

We recognize a Shitshow when it's staged before us.

#5 The demoncrats will be very stupid to actually vote to impeach. Schiff WILL be brought in front of the Senate to testify. So will all his cronies, the documents they are hiding, the Bidens, the Clintons, etc. The whole house of cards could come crumbling down.

And I have never accused the demoncrats of being smart.
