Adam Schiff complains that ‘Trump's lawyers convinced two judges' to rule against him

[Twitchy] Earlier this week, a federal appeals court ruled that Congress cannot sue to enforce outstanding subpoenas against the Trump administration and executive branch. The ruling basically means former White House counsel Don McGahn will not have to testify before Congress.

The ruling did not sit well with House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff, who complains that Trump’s lawyers “convinced” two judges to make an “unprecedented” ruling.

#3 I'm not a lawyer, but isn't that what those in the business call a "trial"?

#7 The problem, Mr. Schiff, is that your reputation precedes you. The colloquial expression is that you are telling tall tales out of school. The crude, more direct expression is that you are a liar and full of sh*t.

Attorney-Client relationship has something to do with that, too. Some subpoenas are quashed. Some are squashed. The President follows the law. Sometimes he wins. Sometimes he loses. Get over it, Narcissus.

#8 I was hoping Trump's lawyers would convince the two judges to keelhaul slimy Schiff.

#9 ostensibly, that is why lawyers exist; but this statement was probably just an attempt to get a talking point out to his media allies.

wall-to-wall coverage, 'we're getting more news on the 2 judges who ruled in favor of Trump'

#10 Implicit in his statement is the assumption that the judiciary is 'suppose' to rule against Trump without having to provide sufficient ground to do so.

#11 Attorney-Client relationship has something to do with that, too.
Causing an Attorney to testify on a "fishing expedition" was several steps too far. Can the White House have Schiff's staff all be deposed just... because as well?

Is "deposed" that thing where you skin them and make a pyramid with their skulls on the lawn?
