Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, one of the House impeachment managers, suggested that President Trump's actions involving Ukraine are an attack on America's character

From CNN's Haley Byrd and Manu RajuRep. Adam Schiff pushed back on the GOP argument that claims of executive privilege could substantially delay the Senate impeachment trial if witnesses are called. Chief Justice John Roberts, he said, would be able to make decisions about evidence and privilege.

“Unlike in the House, where the President could play rope-a-dope in the courts for years, that is not an option for the President's team here, and it gives no refuge to people who want to hide behind executive privilege to avoid the truth coming out,” said Schiff.“We have a very capable justice, sitting in that Senate chamber, empowered by the Senate rules to decide issues of evidence and privilege.

“The Senate will always have the opportunity to overrule the justice,” Schiff added, “But what they fear, what the President’s team fears, is that the Justice will in fact apply executive privilege to that very narrow category where it may apply. And here, that category may be nowhere at all, because you cannot use executive privilege to hide wrongdoing or criminality or impeachable misconduct. And that is exactly the purpose for which they seek to use it.

Jefferies is correct about trump being an affront on our counties character. trump has NO character. He is amoral and probably an atheist!

An attack on Americans is giving Deval Patrick polling at 0% a townhall and not TulsiGabbard

Russia? Not 1960’s USSR I have watched 95% of managers presentations, over, and over, and over, and over.... If, for no other reason, than to solidify my belief CORRUPT democrats and their propaganda media mouthpieces, ARE FAR MORE DANGEROUS TO THIS COUNTRY THAN ANY RUSSIAN!

Everything he does is an attack on America's character. Makes me wonder why people that love our country like him!!!

Maybe he should sit out questioning character

Dems need to stick to things they can prove via the evidence they have, not let the proceedings spiral into issues that cannot be proven or do not constitute high crimes or misdemeanors. Stick to what you can prove or you'll most likely lose your argument.

Jeffries is a moron like the rest of the Domonrats that are trying to oust the president. It is the responsibility of the president to ensure that there is no corruption where U.S. aid is considered!

And he would be correct

A man like Donald Trump sitting in that high office, such a precious and solemn duty, is an attack on America’s character. He has cheapened and brought shame upon the American Presidency and that folks is what’s truly unforgivable...ConvictAndRemove
