JUST IN: 'No, I don't think so,' Rep. Adam Schiff says when asked if he and Nadler have mishandled comments that are getting criticism from the GOP. 'There are going to be efforts to distract from the facts, there are going to be attacks on the managers.'

told reporters after the trial ended for the day, adding that she considered Schiff an otherwise"good orator."Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., also chimed in, saying they have never been told that.

"That is completely, totally false. And all of us were shaking our head like, 'where in the world did that story come from?' And Adam Schiff just kept saying it over and over again, as if it's true." Lankford said, adding the"whole room was visibly upset on our side of it." House impeachment manager Rep. Adam Schiff speaks during fourth day of impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump in the Senate at the U.S. Capitol, Jan. 24, 2020, in Washington, D.C.Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat, acknowledged that this was the first time in several days of arguments that Republicans gave a"loud audible reaction" to the House managers’ presentation, but said he thinks it was an overreaction.

"Those are the things that people that aren't paying attention to every minute of this are going to take home," Braun said."That hurt them in a big way for anybody that might have been teetering on you know which way to go."

Oh now the shoe is on the other foot. Trump didn't apologize for commenting on the horrible things he says, trump didn't apologize for making fun of a disabled journalist, trump didn't apologize for the horrible things he has sad to gold star families so take it

***TRUMP IS NOT IMPEACHED*** *******|~~~~~~~~~~| *******|~~~~~~~~~~| *******|~~~~~~~~~~| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ——————————| FOREVER!

Adam: Your head should be on a platter. Nanxy I hope you don't skeep at night. Chuck Schumer there is a song 'we didn't start the fire it's been burning' Republicans didn't start this and certainly 51% is in favor of the President. Adam Syou should burn in hell.

They're more outraged by Adam Schiff's comment then TRUMP'S UKRIANE BRIBERY SCHEME. THE GOP SENATE NWWD TO VOTE FOR WITNESSES AND DOCUMENTS.

It is true, we all know that.

How Republicans love to just lie through their teeth with feigned outrage! 'OOOOH MY SMELLING SALTS!!'

“Whose afraid of big orange Trump? Not us. We can vote any way we want. It just so happens that we agree with everything he says and does. And we, too, have come to admire Putin and Kim Jong Un”

The dams should pay for this

And yet, they are never upset about horrendous remarks the man for whom they carry water says...amazing.

But it’s perfectly fine for potus to spread misinformation and lies. Focus your outrage where it belongs.

I’d like to know the source and see the CBS report he is referring too

Even without all the documents and witnesses the facts are insurmountable, except to these partisan Gypsies tramps and thieves in the Senate. Sad state of affairs

After being praised for his handling of the impeachment, Schiff screws it up with a comment like this!

That is because he is a bigger liar than the Pinocchio on the Geico Commercials GEICO

I notice in your article that you don’t mention that he said at least 3 times that I hope this isn’t true and that he got this from the NEWS REPORTING. If your going to implicate yourselves at least have the common decency to admit to it.

There goes Schiff’s slim chance of getting 4 Republicans to vote for anymore witnesses! 🤣

Ironic coming from the man whose head actually looks like it's on a pike.

Schiff seems to have a habit of 'Exaggerating' stories! He did it with the phone conversation between Trump and the Ukraine President and he's doing it here! This is why you can't trust guys like this!

Come on Susan you should be insulted by DJT and his outbursts don’t get dramatic over that

THIS is what you’re focusing on?!? Not what realDonaldTrump said and did, but the GOP ‘s faux outrage?!?

SenatorCollins So this upset you but the never ending barrage of demeaning, insulting, disparaging and bullying tweets from our less than morally upstanding president, not so much. Your outrage is as fake as your patriotism and you are not fooling anyone. What DOES he have on U

Hey lying liberal fascist Shifty, did u also include in your lying speech that 4 out of ur 7 Managers voted to withhold aid to Ukraine? No u didn’t! That wasn’t important now was it? But Trump withholding aid for corruption was? Lying liberal Communists!

So what ? Fake outrage .

Amazing, anger at Dems, but not at the bullying and behavior of their president. Simply stunning.

Why because it’s true? He didn’t say it was and he hoped it wasn’t but it was reported so why not present it

No don't worry about retribution. This guy wouldn't do anything to you.

That is because.....

Oh Boy, did it ever. At lest 10 GOP Senators stood up and said the threat never happened. Rep Nadler already angered Sen. Collins by saying if the GOP Senators didn't vote to Impeach they would be Traitors. Rep. Schiff added fuel to that anger, I'm afraid.

They seem to really hate being exposed as the sycophant cowards they are.

Angry whites

The current gop Senators are too afraid to do the right thing. So much damage to the senate and to our country. Trump’s number one goal has always been to dismantle America’s institutions and the gop congress is complicit in doing so as well. So dangerous for America.

Adam Schiff is an exemplary human being, politician & leader. I do not think he made ANY MISTAKES in his eloquent prosecution of the CROOK in the Oval Office. Sure, knowing TRUMPS mafia like history, the “ head on a pike “ threat has been made.

But they aren’t outraged at the name calling and bullying and belittling the president does to everyone else?

Feels like they were looking for whatever minor embarrassment they could use as an excuse to support the Criminal-in-Chief. Pathetic sycophants so scared of Trump they jump at the chance to crawl back under his rock. Bootlickers

But the Republican will not stand up to Trump when he says something 10 time worst. This is all just a deflection.

Well I should hope so.... there would have to be a REALLY good reason for Senators to so blatantly violate the Constitution. Thank goodness Schiff came along and said something a tad bitchy to give them their excuse. 🙄🙄

Trumps has run a Twitter protection racket for 3 yrs so this shock is fake. The WH spread the head on the pike to make sure they hear it

She forgot to mention Nancy Pelosi's pens! I guess it's hard to be upset about the loss of our democracy amidst all the faux outrage and pearl clutching. GOPFauxOutRageOfTheDay

Oh please. THAT is what they are outraged about Pathetic. Vote them all out.

The Senates role is to weigh the evidence, not fill in the blanks the House, in its Haste , chose to leave empty.

Just an excuse to block witnesses. They aren't fooling anyone.

Those were not Adam Schiff's words. He was merely repeating what he had heard but probably should have left that one alone. He clearly said he didn't know if it was true.

Fake outrage used as distraction from actual impeachable offenses.

Republicans are upset because it appears to be true, have you heard one Republican call for full exposure for the truth...no...not one

Well, we all knew it was going to be something they would choke on; it may as well be Schiff’s quoted comment ‘head on a pike’. However, the original statement from Trump ‘get rid of her’, was easily swallowed.

And yet the recording just released demonstrates exactly the [Trump] behavior it would seem the Senators are afraid of, which would explain why they are defending trump so aggressively so they are not ‘taken out’!

Schiff= say outrageous things, then claim you don't know if it's TRUE? What... a... buffoon!!

As it should’ve.

GET OVER IT🤪

Truth hurts huh

Wow

First Schiff talks about heads on a pike then ABC’s George Stephanopoulos gets caught using the throat cut in live TV. The Democrats are obsessed with heads.

Susan Collins, the paragon of virtue. Scared stiff from Trump's rebuke?

SenateGOP He didn't say it... He repeated what was news...we all had seen the report. If you watched anything but fox news, you would have seen it too. SenatorCollins was the shoes to tight? PartyGirl, if the shoe fit (and it did) wear it...

Your president attacks so many others much worse! Why aren’t you standing up for truth and justice for all Americans !

TRUMP HAS SAID WORST!!

They were just looking for any excuse to back down.

Great outrage for another ridiculous comment by their president but they don’t do anything about his denying, deflecting, lying, and blaming everyone else.

but no outrage about trumpy unzipping Putin’s pants? gop are Russian hacks

Oh that outrage s SenSusanCollins but Kavanaugh raping a young woman - is no big deal we her. Trump grabbing women by their private parts- doesn’t bother Sue at all. Just shut up Susan Collins.

Kind of like Schiff’s head on a pencil

America’s democracy is fragile. It’s only as strong as the Senate and the bureaucrats that will order FBI agents and police to suppress citizens exercising their first amendment rights. I’m worried.

Of course it did whatever DF thought personally attacking 53 Senators was a good idea is an idiot.

Grab ‘em by the pussy seems a tad more discounting to me.

They were just looking for an excuse. Trump can do bribery and abuse of power, but Schiff can't quote a newspaper article. Makes sense.

They need to put their big girl panties on and deal with it!

Terrible headline.

Liberal propaganda

But, apparently, the corruption of IMPOTUS did not draw any blowback from Republicans.

Congressman Adam Schiff, I’ve been following the Impeachment Hearings and have been disenfranchised with the amount of Denial by the Republicans. What u did Friday with your Closing Arguments was Awesome! You brought me back with hope for our Country! Salute Congressman!

THIS is what outrages them?

Fake outrage. Wah, wah.

They know that this in the character of Donald Trump and he would say something similar to this absolutely

Schiff is a pig.

What did individual 1 tweet did to them this morning.. just asking sad

Blow back because it’s true

Schiff is nothing but a liar and a fraud.

Faux outrage. Outrageous is a President who with the full cooperation of Senate and House Republicans has raped justice and exploited the American people.

Ah, they've done worse.

or banning someone who doesn't agree with in their comment section.

Outrage from republicans who remain silent while the president name calls and insults their peers daily, oh my

His quote of a quote drew blowback?

Trump’ s tweets however give the senator a sense of calm and security.

Yeah it's called phony outrage bcuz they're more afraid of their heads ending up on a pike.

But they don’t have outrage on what this president says tells me the GOPus corrupt and no hope for them to defend our democracy

So the Reps had immediate 'blowback' from what CBS reported but NOT for what 45 actually did or said at THAT DINNER abt the Ambassador YOU KIDDING. PRIORITIES?! ImpeachTrump

They are liars. Everyone of them.

Outrage because it’s the truth something these republicans never understand

Schiff should be the first congressman ousted in the next election. No one has lied more. Let’s put him under oath so we can put him in jail.

Repubs: Feigning outrage yet they accept and condone brazen corruption & bullying in the clear light of day! It doesn't take much intelligence to see the hypocricy. GraspingAtStraws Gaslighting The old hitleresque strategy: 'Accuse the other side of that which YOU are guilty'.

Sounds par for the course for Mad King Trump. And his GOP Minions would never admit it even if he said it.

Republicans, and / or their 'sympathizers' are responsible for it.

It's in Trump character to insult and threaten people that go against him. So most likely Trump did say this.

I wonder if SenSusanCollins and lisamurkowski heard Trump tell Guiliani stooge and most likely planted Russian agent LevParnasAudio that 'Take Her Out, Do It' is fake? Maybe they were just looking for a reason not to cross party lines. Oh the outrage. He would never say that.

It was a CBS report. He read it aloud. You need to do better with your headlines. This is a misleading bit of trash.

Anyone that has spoken even the most minute criticism of Trump be it Democrat’s or Republicans he calls down and makes fun of or are fired!

demoRATS r LIARS!!!!!

Puhleez. They’re willing to be considerate and thoughtful on all of Trump’s abuses but this makes them clutch their pearls?

Who really gives a shit about what Republicans think about anything? MobBossTrump RepublicanHenchmen

Again Adam Schiff is speaking the truth which republicans are not members of they’re a bunch of cowards who don’t have a voice bc they gave it up to trump now he can smear and grind them like onion rings it proves all of us who have saying they’re afraid of trump in their words

More outraged by this than the caging of children, the state of healthcare, our crumbling infrastructure, the continued and unchallenged systemic racism, etc etc

snowflakes

The waaaahmbulance is here to listen to Republicans complain about having been told the truth.

Trump did something wrong and the GOP Senators are going to let him get away with it FOCUS

AdamSchiff AdamShiffROCKS The GOPSenators GOPCorruptionOverCountry GOPCoverup will use any excuse to place the blame on someone. Obviously, they are very childish! I think you are a fantastic lawyer and speaker. The Republicans are not abiding by the oath taken.

Oh fock off with the fake outrage.

It’s so ridiculous compared to what comes out of their leaders mouth several times a day. How about, “you know what we used to do with spies back in the day”!

Cringe-worthy.

Interesting that Schiff's comment drew blowback from Republicans.pussy gate, 16,000 lies, hush money to silence stripper/Playboy bunny for alleged affairs, 16,000 lies and counting, widespread corruption in this admnistration and they are upset about Schiff's comment?! HYPOCRITES

🤣GOPSenate 'outraged' by the truth

It was over before then.

But they had nothing to say about trump’s tweet this morning name calling sitting members of Congress. 🙄

FFS .... his comments had nothing to do with the POTUS guilt and they weren’t going to vote for justice anyways. I hope they enjoy the summer. NovemberIsComing

Why are you rewarding the GOP Gaslighting Obstructionist Party's below the line behavior? Stop being complicit in the coverup.

Schiff is trash.

An American President wore a tan suit and got blowback from Republicans.....🙄

I think in was Trump’s comment first before it became Schiff’s comment

Yawn

Now she has an excuse...

Oops- you mean this CBSNews report. Schiff just called the corrupt .SenateGOP on it. FakeOutrage CorruptGOP

Of all the things to get upset about - I think a president betraying his Oath of Office should come a little ahead of someone characterizing him as vengeful. BTW - Donald Trump IS vengeful. WitnessesAndDocuments

For good reason ,Schiff is a lier

Notice, he deflected and did NOT give a definitive answer. Schifty Schiff....😯

This is just helping trump to get re-elected

Epic Fail by Schiff, Nadler & Pelosi !!!

🤓 you continue to pass hot air as usual!! When are U going to present anything new from the HOR dog & pony show that isn’t demo dog opinion, speculation, and innuendo... and really nothing new... just more partisan 💨 blowing that hasn’t proven zilch‼️

On the contrary Mr. Schiff WH attorneys directly discussed the evidence, all of it. The fact the house managers only presented half truths and withheld details favorable to Trump policy historically left a huge impact on all Senators. There was no attack just the facts.

Dump trump

After three years of this hoax. Trump must be eligible for a third term

Only the media is using the comments to distract.

Someone has to impeach his ass from entire government

Sometimes the messenger is the problem. 😜

Yeah it’s not like Schiff has a history of making false statements on the record.

Jesus, Schiff just can’t stop. He can’t tell the truth, he can’t admit that he’s wrong, he can’t apologize, he can’t accept defeat. What an absolute a$$.

There are going to be lies from the democrats

Didn't hear many facts. Don't think anyone in there did.

Well, not attacks but showing the other side of the argument.

They have no facts, only hearsay.

Translation: Why yes we did! Wink wink

Facts? Schiff can’t handle the facts!

This is what I appreciate most about RepAdamSchiff: he NEVER takes the bait.

The plain fact is Republicans are trying to screw the constitution on behalf of a lying and corrupt president. GOP=Gangs of Putin

It was devastating. I’m going to bet Trump is not thrown out of office.

New math. Mueller Report = 2+2 RepAdamSchiff RepJerryNadler SenSchumer

they're cleaning up after your ridiculous lies. As the defense said - Monday they mount the defense of the President with their own facts. Better get ready Schiff because it will be hard for you to lie out of the facts presented next week. Cant you just listen & admit the truth?

The GOP just wants to distract from the fact that TrumpIsGuilty

Schiff and Nadler and the rest got their asses handed to them in a fraction of the time it took for them to repeat the same thing 400 times. Here is Nadler and Schitt's new theme song

You have made so many mistakes in the impeachment proceedings that you are a laughing stock. 😂😂You are a disgrace to the state you represent. I hope you both get voted out in the next election. If I had somebody representing me in my state like that I would 💩my pants!!

There was no attacks on the managers it was on what you were saying and what you were doing trying to mislead the public and they put it back into a perspective that you only told half truths that is what happened there was only attack your misleading the public and made up crap

Schiff killed House democrats credibility a long time ago. He's been caught lying numerous times and is only helping Trump at this point

Schiff is pathetic. He called Trump an occupant of the WH and Nadler called him a dictator! They are children masking as lawyers Also, Nadler votes against Ukraine aid, FOUR times along with other House managers.

Schiff knows he’s going to be outed for all of his lies.

Attacks on the *LYING House Managers... Fixed it for him.
