We are an opinion blog, not a traditional news outlet, and this post should be treated as such. Enjoy.)Adam Schiff wasted no time using the same tired old argument at the Senate impeachment trial. As a House Manager, Schiff started off the Democrats’ case by quickly making it all about “Russia, Russia, Russia.” He claimed the president must be removed since he is “still colluding with Russia” and “Russia helped the president win the election.” That’s why the American people were livid and utterly torched Schiff for his lies. Don’t miss this.
Adam Schiff proved the Democrats have no case to impeach and remove President Donald Trump during Wednesday’s impeachment trial. Schiff was forced to turn to old lies and new lies, but they all revolved around “the Russia hoax.”
“Lead House impeachment manager Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) led his opening argument in the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump on Wednesday by citing allegations of ‘Russia collusion’ that have been debunked,” Breitbart reports.
Schiff tried to argue that the Senate had a duty to remove President Trump from office for allegedly inviting foreign interference by Ukraine in the 2020 presidential election because he supposedly invited Russia to interfere in 2016.
He said:
“We also took this step with the knowledge that this was not the first time the president solicited foreign interference in our elections. In 2016, then-candidate Trump implored Russia to hack his opponent’s email account, something that the Russian military agency did only hours later.”
Schiff is referring to the same old lie that when Trump jokingly said during a rally: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. Let’s see if that happens,” that he was seriously sending the Russian government some nefarious signal to interfere in the 2016 election
However, not only was the president joking around at a rally, but Schiff also took Trump out of context. The president was told he and the Russian government were being blamed for allegedly hacking into the Democrats’ server.
“So it is so farfetched,” said Trump. “It’s so ridiculous. Honestly, I wish I had that power. I’d love to have that power but Russia has no respect for our country.” Then he went on to say it’s probably China, but he was just guessing.
The mainstream media kept pressing him, and that’s when he made the obvious joke right on live TV.
That is what the Obama administration, and now the House Democrats, turned into an invitation to interfere in the 2016 election. In Schiff’s words, “then-candidate Trump implored Russia to hack his opponent’s email account.”
Trump said nothing about hacking. He was talking about Russia finding her emails — something that public reports suggested might already have happened, given the lack of security on Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
Schiff actually played a clip of the press conference, falsely referring to it as a “rally,” as if Trump deliberately planned to make a statement inviting Russia to do something. The true context — a press conference where Trump was repeatedly asked about Russia and was clearly making a joke at the media’s expense – is crucial.
Americans were livid after listening to Schiff for over two hours lie about Trump and Russia as his “case” for removing POTUS.
“Is there no bottom to how low @RepAdamSchiff will go? At what point is he arrested for making False Statements? Are the House Managers under oath? Can Chief Justice Roberts put House Managers on the Stand?” tweeted Don Barcome, Jr.

“The fact that @RepAdamSchiff a relying on the debunked “Russia collusion” conspiracy theory — and misquoting @realDonaldTrump to do it — is all the Senate needs to know about how seriously to take the Democrats’ bogus case for #Impeachment,” tweeted Joel Pollock, Editor at Large for Breitbart.

Democrats have been trying to impeach President Trump for years, long before the Ukraine phone call ever happened.
In 2017, Democrats pressed successfully for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate “Russia collusion.” Schiff personally declared in public that there was “direct evidence” and “abundant circumstantial evidence” of it.
But when Mueller released his report, he found the opposite: “[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”
Democrats were unable to let go of their expectation that Mueller would provide the basis for impeachment. As Politico reported on August 1 — more than a week before the so-called “whistleblower” wrote to Schiff about the Ukraine call — a majority of Democrats already supported impeaching the president based on Mueller’s report.
Then, out of nowhere, Adam Schiff’s so-called whistleblower comes forward.
Of course, new evidence that has just come to light today prove Schiff’s whistleblower was also involved in trying to “remove Trump since 2017.” It’s time we stop this farce and demand Adam Schiff takes the stand. He is at the center of allegedly fabricating evidence which led to the impeachment.
Now, he is at the center of lying to the American people as he tries to remove Trump from office. The truth will come out, and when it does Adam Schiff just might be behind bars. And the American people will be free — free of losing our nation to those hoping to destroy it.
