Adam Schiff Is Ready To Drop The Hammer On Trump's Family Of Grifters

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) said on Tuesday that he won’t let Donald Trump and his family of grifters anywhere near the money in the coronavirus stimulus package.

As the Democratic lawmaker said during an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, the money is meant to help workers in the middle of a pandemic, not enrich the First Family.
“This is to save the jobs of workers throughout the country, small business owners and others,” Rep. Schiff said. “It is not to be used as a slush fund for Donald Trump or the First Family.”

1. Oh yeah.

I hope they start going after him more now.

[guillaumeb]

2. They must.

The law demands it. Responsible and sane voters demand it.

[Jim__]

3. What can he do? They put oversight into the law and Trump just declared he's ignoring that.

The republican senate won't do anything. Barr won't enforce any subpoenas. I think the best they can do is refuse to pass any more bailout money that goes under any sort of control by the executive branch.

[guillaumeb]

5. It is truly a difficult situation.

Nearly the entire GOP Party is acting as a co-conspirator with Trump. We must use the media to spread information, and hope that voters see through this. Current polling shows Trump is not seen as handling this situation well.

[BComplex]

7. That's the problem. Trump isn't American at all. He hates democracy.

He hates the 3 branches of government AND the free press.

He needs to go back to nazi germany in a time machine, and stay there and get his ass kicked.

[guillaumeb]

8. He speaks to one type of US citizen.

The type who hates government. Or hates anything that does not directly benefit him.

[SergeStorms]

30. I thought you were going to say.....

stupid citizens, but I guess the adjectives you used add up to about the same thing.

[guillaumeb]

44. I do not know that I would say stupid.

Shortsighted perhaps? Or greedy and shortsighted?

[dalton99a]

10. Trump has the mentality of a rapist

Everything and everyone is for him to use and abuse

[smirkymonkey]

17. +1000

I can't wait until he is six-feet-under. I really can't.

[SergeStorms]

31. If this damned virus.......

would visit one person...... but we can't say who that person would be, right, Special Agent Mike?

[smirkymonkey]

40. If that happened, I might actually believe that there really was a god.

[SergeStorms]

48. You and me both, smirkymonkey.

You and me both. It seems to be taking only good folks, but maybe that's because no one cares if one more asshole dies.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

33. To be clear, Trump hates ALL three branches of government.

He hates the very concept of government. He wants absolute control over who wins and who loses, who lives and who dies. All he wants from the people is praise and subservience.

What's scary is that nearly 30% agree with him.

[Wednesdays]

45. 45%.

On a bad day.

[Tweedy]

34. Better yet-- resign and move to Moscow

[quakerboy]

60. "nearly"

Which one isn't?

[guillaumeb]

63. I am allowing for the possibility of a GOP politician at some level being opposed to this.

But like the "good Germans" of the 1930s and 1940s, they seem to be keeping their feelings to themselves.

Call it cowardice, or political self-preservation, which is a rationalization for cowardice.

[quakerboy]

64. Its not uncommon

Or at least in observing humanity around me I often notice that people make TERRIBLE mistakes that cause harm, And then double down on them. Some are just not good people. But others, I think, are caught in an insidious mental trap. Instead of acknowledging these bad choices and therefore the harm they caused, these humans are compelled to double down on doing more wrong to prove they were right and preserve their self identity as a "good person", because admitting to being wrong in a way that did so much harm is not something they are prepared to live with. I've met and virtually met a lot of voters from the 2016 election that fall into this category. In my opinion.

[guillaumeb]

65. Very well argued.

We see this as well in the Stein voters, or the non-voters, who speak of their self-described principled dissent as a reason for their choices.

[Tarc]

28. What Schiff does is ignore the ignoring, and take the matter to the courts

if Trump and his mafia family try to spend a dime without oversight.

Th day that orange fascist is out of office will be glorious.

7 months more to endure of this.

[LakeArenal]

4. I hope Adam becomes the head of the DOJ.

[guillaumeb]

6. Under President Biden?

Agreed.

[Dan]

14. Sad, but I want the meanest

SOB that can be found to be the head of the DOJ. And, I want them to hire someone like Hannibal Lector as their chief enforcer.

[LakeArenal]

23. Not me. I want sound reasonable logic.

[moonscape]

41. Yes, someone who will have impeccable

ethics, and begin the long slog towards rebuilding to be justice people can believe in.

[LakeArenal]

42. Yes. I want the drama of real justice.

Not a reality show.

[MyOwnPeace]

27. DAMN!!!!!!!!!

That is so RIGHT ON!!!!!!
They need to be rounded up and placed in a place where the sun never shines, there is no wifi, and they will have to write a 1000 word essay about why Hillary Clinton should have been named the President in 2016 before they are served any meal. (let the F'ers starve!)

[OAITW r.2.0]

36. He knows where all of the bodies are buried....

He is the right person to head DOJ. We are talking an organized party that is subverting the Constitution in real time.

[dalton99a]

9. Kick

[ananda]

11. That's all very nice, but..

what exactly is Schiff going to do to stop Trump
from using that money any damm way he wants?

[Lock him up.]

16. Elect Democratic candidates all up and down ticket?

Don't just vote for the Democratic President/Vice-President ticket and leave... (what too many voters do).

We need 2 branches BLUE: WH, House + Senate.

Then INVESTIGATE and throw the orange virus in jail for ALL his crimes.

No More Looking Forward. Justice for all MUST prevail (as a clear example)!

[tosh]

29. Yes,

and then impeach kavanaugh!

[The Wizard]

53. All crimes happen in the past

to say you want to look forward and leave the past behind in an abdication of duty to the people.
"If you wrong us shall we not revenge."
(Merchant of Venice, Act III, sc. i.)

[Windy City Charlie]

12. That's why

I wondered why Trump so easily went along with the idea of signing the bailout bill while being left out of it. He knew all along he was going to do this. One way or the other he was going to get his hands on that money. He probably figured this was the much easier way to do it, figuring no one would be paying attention.

[sprinkleeninow]

58. he always got an underhanded ulterior motive for everything.

yah, at first look it sounds almost wow good. then upon further examination, you know his motive is having his palm crossed with filthy lucre; he made of essence of corruption...

[thegoose]

13. Please oh please!

You know the "stimulant package" is only intended to stimulate Ancient Orange, Istanka, Damien Kushner, "Gums" Dump and Idiot Dump — and their corporate donors.

Oh, and I guess Moronia can get five bucks...her usual fee.

[Tweedy]

35. Well... Ivanka is responsible for 10% of U.S. jobs

[thegoose]

38. Nyuk Nyuk!

[Insert Three Stooges pic here].

[zentrum]

15. Please take care Adam. We

...need you more than ever.

[catrose]

18. Go get 'em, sir!

[NBachers]

19. If I could push a button and eject every single republican into the Asteroid Belt, I'd do it.

Then we could rename it the Hemorrhoid Belt.

[Tweedy]

37. Not all republicans, please

Some are marks. Some are deluded by right wing propaganda. Some are in my family and believe it, they are otherwise truly stellar people.

Definitely every elected official who has enabled our sadistic president needs to be shown the curb of unemployment and prosecuted where appropriate.

[ConstanceCee]

20. Follow the Money

Jared and his team are figuring out how to divide the spoils.

[Hekate]

21. KnR

[C Moon]

24. Boy, someone's going to throw a temper tantrum in the White House.

"Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!!!"

[DENVERPOPS]

43. Exactly like the tantrum he threw

about the money given by Donors for his inauguration......money that was never accounted for and has been proven was never spent on the inauguration by his daughter, as she claimed.......Trump blew a gasket and demanded that money as his, and the Government should pay for the Inauguration..

That was the first day of his term.......Did anyone think that maybe his attitude was a harbinger of what was ahead.

He and his worthless spawn have spent every day since that day, searching desperately, for any and all opportunities to Grift the U.S. Taxpayers thanks to his being "installed" as President......

Jared and Trailer Trash Barbie looked at their father's followers as the biggest suckers ever, and that they had finally found them to be the pot of gold they had been searching for........

[C Moon]

55. I love this!

[tavernier]

61. Rump, Malaria, and Trailer Trash Barbie.

The first family.

[Takket]

25. drumpf just fired the person in charge of the fund and replace him with a member of his

impeachment defense team.

first thing congress needs to do is STOP that somehow....... because right now drumpf can take any money he wants out of the fund and there is no one questioning it

[ancianita]

26. A lawyer can use the old legal excuse of attorney-client privilege, & Schiff ends up in court again.

For months. What court will be convened during this pandemic, anyway, right?

There's a method to all this embezzlement.

How this lawyer makes his case ought to lose him his law license.

But so far, the defense team are all still there.

[Blue Owl]

32. Hammer time?

Get me a front row seat...

[Pillow talk]

39. i wish there was a reliable mechanism to stop the grift.

oh yeah.... stop voting republican

[guillaumeb]

49. The Constitution is that mechanism.

But it depends on all of us respecting the law.

[Wednesdays]

46. Him and what army?

Seriously.

[guillaumeb]

50. An army of energized voters?

That would work.

[Miguelito Loveless]

47. Pardon me if I don't get excited.

[guillaumeb]

51. Trump and the GOP are counting on people feeling this way.

That there is nothing that can be done.

[Ferrets are Cool]

52. Please, please, please let this be true. nt

[greytdemocrat]

54. What exactly...

is trump going to do?? I mean I'd
put nothing past him but what???

[guillaumeb]

57. Trump will obstruct, and play to his base, and the GOP will help him.

And the November 2020 election will show how well that worked.

[Pepsidog]

56. I believe he will follow through but will others. Let'AOC go after these nest of vipers.

[Quixote1818]

59. Has Biden spoken up about this? If not then he should be going ballistic!

To get the attention of the press.

[guillaumeb]

62. Part of the problem is GETTING the attention of the press.

We can see that the US corporate media prefers the easy path of covering the daily rallies that are thinly disguised as briefings.
