Schiff: If Trump Were Removed by Impeachment, Coronavirus Deaths Would Not Be at Daily 9/11 Levels
They're half the rate of Britain's, concentrated in New York and other places where they put the infected in nursing homes with the frail.
[BREITBART] Monday on MSNBC’s "The Last Word," House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff
...Showboating U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff has served in Congress since 2001. He currently serves as the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In a manner reminiscent of Joe McCarthy, on March 22, 2017, in a interview with Chuck Todd on MSNBC Schiff claimed there was “more than circumstantial evidence now” that Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia." Todd followed up by asking if he had seen direct evidence of collusion and Schiff responded that there was "evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation"...
(D-CA) said had the Senate removed President Donald Trump
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
as a result of his impeachment trial, coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
casualties in America would not be on some days the "equivalent of the number of people we lost on 9/11."

Anchor Lawrence O’Donnell said, "We can’t act even slightly surprised by this because you told us this was going to happen in your argument in the Senate impeachment trial."

Schiff said, "Well, we certainly told the senators that he was not going to change, and there was no way to constrain him. That he is who he is, and he would continue to operate the way he had, and indeed, that’s exactly what we’ve seen since. The one thing we dramatically understated is when we asked the question if you found him guilty, do you really need to remove him given there is another election only nine months away, how much damage could he really do?"

He continued, "We said a lot, but little did we know just how great the casualties would be. Some days we lose the equivalent of the number of people we lost on 9/11. You know, I think that there is no way we could have foreseen just how tragic his malfeasance would be in his remaining months in the administration."

#1 You know, Schiff is right. Those numbers would be worse.

#2 Yeah, Trump has to go. In addition to the 300 million dead Americans, my last Amazon delivery was late, the goat has stopped giving milk, and my goldfish has the dropsy.
/eye roll

Seriously, how does this stuff play with Mr & Mrs Middle America? Especially in the middle of a national crisis. It's raw meat for the Dem base, but Schiff is starting to be that guy you see hanging around the bus station always ranting about chem trails.

#6 We'll never know what they really might have done had they not been forced to take the opposite of what Trump says/does, but judging from their comments things would have been a lot worse with the globalists in charge.
