By Greg Sargent Greg Sargent Opinion writer covering national politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 8 at 4:00 PM President Trump has now formally exerted executive privilege over the redacted portions of the Mueller report and its underlying materials — defying a House subpoena for those materials, and confirming once again that Trump will exercise maximal resistance to any and all oversight and accountability.
Schiff has previously advised squarely against impeachment, saying that if Republican lawmakers cannot make the case to their voters — that is, to Republican voters — that Trump’s conduct merits impeachment, it will be “seen by a substantial part of the country as merely an effort to nullify an election by other means.”
As former prosecutor Mimi Rocah put it, this has the makings of a constitutional crisis, because “the head of the Justice Department” is helping to block congressional investigations into the president “regardless of law or merit.” These counterintelligence findings are a big missing piece of the puzzle. As Ryan Goodman noted, we still don’t know what the special counsel and/or the FBI have determined “with respect to whether Trump associates engaged in reciprocal efforts with Russian agents without entering a criminal agreement to do so, whether Americans have been witting or unwitting Russian assets, and what leverage or influence Moscow may have over particular individuals.
You have my back.
LMAO RepAdamSchiff
“At this point it just seems like you’re just stalking him,” said Bill Maher to Adam Schiff on his Real Time HBO show 2 weeks ago.
Just like all of that evidence RepAdamSchiff had on collusion!
BoSnerdley When will the LIES from Shifty Schiff & the WaPost cease?
More opinion pieces parading as news and facts 🙄
Really, based on what? Tea leaves or The seance lady...losers
Not really. You failed. Failed badly. And you RIGGED THE GAME. YET YOU STILL LOST
Discount Frank Underwood is at it again
Cool story AdamSchiff -- Hey what kind of jail time does a sitting congressman get for illegally leaking to the media, obstruction of justice and lying to congress? Asking for my friend Devin.
Still waiting to see all the evidence he claims to have!
Where is bug eyes collusion evidence he claimed he's seen? Schiff is totally discredited
... case for you to resign is stronger...!
BoSnerdley Then do it ligth bulb
Ha. Adam Schiff sucks
This guy is a first ballot all talk no action hall of famer.
BoSnerdley The only one who needs to be impeached is Schiffless for lying to the American people for over 2 yrs.
BoSnerdley And so is the case for Civil War
BoSnerdley Says the dweeb who had evidence.
Go on boy, this is how Dems will be cleaned at the ballot
😂😂😂
BoSnerdley
No. No it’s not. But DO IT. It will ensure Trump’s re-election. Unlike Congressional Democrats, Americans are fair, and see right thru this political stunt.
The force is strong with TDS...
When Mr. Schiff produces his proof of collusion, I'll belive what he has to say - not until then
Dems love to fail.
It has always been do or die.
what a fool
Ed Buck !
Schiff...something is wrong with him... he has a crazy look in his eyes...
The Democrats are screwed either way, if they don’t impeach, they look like a bunch of pussies. If they do impeach, the Senate won’t, and it’s Clinton all over again except Trump will excite his base far more effectively.
More like the case against Schiff is about to drop as part of a Soviet style attempted coup is about to drop for you folks under 30 that would be marxist coup the most murderous government ever created in history. I served then I was stationed in west Germany. Learn history
“The walls are closing in”
Do. Or do not. There is no talk.
Uhhh - no it's not.
How did all your expert analysis, polls, divisive negative stories work out for you in2016? That's right they didn't. You were wrong. As you were wrong/ lied about Collusion! The Democrats are afraid of Barr actually investigating.They will get caught up in this ! They conspire!
When WashingtonPost doesn’t give their opinion section to radical middle eastern terrorists, they give it to radical lying leftists like Schiff. Post shovels dirt on the truth so it dies in darkness. SpyGate SteeleDossier FISAabuse
Oh yes we’re getting closer, connecting those dots, the stars are aligning, it’s really really really going to happen and soon, you better bet.........😂😂
Only the smell of the swamp is getting stronger.
WHA HAHAHAHA 😂😂
Lol
JUST REMEBER SHIFFY THAT IF YOU DO THIS AND FAIL I TRUELY HOPE OUR PRESIDENT SEE YOU AS YOU TRUELY ARE IN MAKING A COUP AGAINST HIM AND IT GIVES HIM THE RIGHT TO LINE ALL OF YOU UP AGAINST A WALL AND SHOT FOR THE TREASONOUS ACT!!!!
How much more evidence is needed? Grow a goddamn spine congress and impeach the criminal now! And while you r at it throw McConnell, graham and schumer & spineless pelosi in as well.
Yes..approval for Congress can get lower.
Lil’phosleazy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah Right, keep dreaming. Go ahead and impeach it will die in the senate. When are the democrats going to start working for the America people. Like infrastructure. The fact is the democrats n the MSM have lied to the American people for 2+ yrs about Russian collusion. Pathetic
The evidence is GLARING!
He don’t have the balls
Getting stronger? Jesus! Does he LITERALLY have to shoot someone on 5th Avenue Stop talking and TAKE ACTION ALREADY!!
Yes. ImpeachmentHearingsNOW 🖐
Trump should call their bluff and ask them to try and impeach him. Many dems got elected saying they were going to legislate not investigate. UN report on effects of climate change on biosphere and mass extinctions and maybe I’m wrong but don’t hear any dems talking about it! Ed
Corrupt Democrat children threw a great temper tantrum today. I thoroughly enjoyed all the faux outrage by a group of kids having no business representing Americans in our government. Stamping their feet and sticking out their lower lip! Awesome.
🙄 Move on .. It will never ever happen . If anything he will be voted in a second term !
Idiots
Get rid of the whole crew.
He’s a hack. Financed by brother in law Soros.
For who the entire democratic socialist Lying party I’m 65 I’ve never seen mire lies in government corruption than now what’s worse is brainwashed idiots believe their lies
FullOfSchiff is a disgrace to America
Man how deep did this coup go 😮, will there be a democratic party left after the Barr drops.
Who is he trying to fool?!?!
Good, enough talking, some action, if you mean it
Lol, this guy
Bring it on. Will backfire against Dems.
Do it You've been promising impeachment since you guys lost in 2016. Should work out about as well as the collusion hoax.
Idiots!
LOL PencilNeckSchiff has yet to present the absolute evidence of collusion that he has SEEN!Sadly even schiff knows Trump won’t be impeached!SpeakerPelosi won’t allow it!She may be tipsy all the time but she ain’t dumb! Impeachment will ensure an already certain 2020TRUMP win!
Robert Mueller disagrees.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Please NO PARDON from VP Pence
Bullshit.
How about the case for Schiff showing his proof of collusion? It was a 2 year lie. And yet, you give this fool space in your paper. Do you have any integrity left?
The case for hearings or the case for impeachment. See the difference?
Do it; and Bernie Sanders will be your party’s nominee. When the true resistance begins; Globalists will find no safe haven in America body politic.
You couldn’t be more wrong. The Democrats have no basis and look extremely desperate. Today’s hearing was an embarrassment.
Democrats are going to lose again and again
fullOfSchiff is getting nervous IG is coming
It’s actually getting weaker. But democrat desperation is getting stronger. You people have NO agenda at all. No ability to govern or pass meaningful legislation.
Do it
This is insane
How in the world is this liar and leaker not in jail? And why are you giving him any credence at all?
Hey WaPo, we've heard his opinion day in day out for years. He was officially proven dead wrong. How OCD are you?
Yes please try and impeach... All Dems Aye, All GOP Nay... = Political Hack Job !!! The Left needs a beat down in 2020 just to knock the chip off their shoulder...
This guy 😂
While that’s a possibility. Do you really want Pence either? Dems need to focus on 2020 election and win there
Then start the hearings. Mueller passed you guys the ball and now you’re fumbling at the 20 yard line ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW
All talk
Stop being polite, drag him of the street, jail all of them
Rack this up to yet another bullshit, Schiffian hoax. You’d think they would get it by now. Buzzfeed has nothing on WAPO.
Lol ok
Yawn
Not with McConnell, Graham, & Cornyn running things on the Senate side.
At his rally tonight, Trump says the government is unable to violently attack immigrants, someone in the crowd shouted 'Shoot them!' The crowd & Trump erupt in laughter & cheers. Trump says, 'Only in the panhandle can you get away with that statement.' CHRISTLIKE?
Easy cowboy. Let’s get these things first: -Full Mueller Report and entire case file -Mueller testimony -McGahn testimony -Jr testimony -tax returns and supporting schedules There is far more to impeach on than obstruction. It will surface soon.
He has no collusion that he has been claiming
Ha ha ha. Good luck.
Lmao. This guy should be investigated. All of Congress needs a Special Counsel to look into the pay for play, corruption, foreign influence, slush funds for mistresses etc. Let's clean out corruption starting with this embarrassment from California .
WAPO has sunk to very dark depths as they follow their Democrat comrades into the putrid swamp.☹️
He showed the “tons of proofs” he said he had? He is a clown. And they are afraid of the Barr’s investigations.
Will they get there by 2021?
So silly, who among us hasn’t welcomed help from the enemy and then obstructed a little justice? People are just taking the Constitution and Trump’s oath of office WAY too seriously.
DOJ IG report is coming soon
Tell Nancy.
If Schiff is so confident, why does he always look so worried.😂😂😂
Is there a bigger blowhard than Schiff? He does everything except actual action.
On what high crime charge there was no obstruction and no collusion.
Please do it, the landslide in 2020 is growing
The democrats think if they cry and complain loud enough, the special counsel will somehow start up again and somehow change their verdict after starting up again.
