House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said Sunday that if Barack Obama had committed the same alleged offenses in the White House as President Donald Trump is accused of doing in theIn an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC's"This Week," Schiff lamented the staunch support for Trump among congressional Republicans in the face of the"What has really changed between now and Watergate isn't the nature of the president's conduct.
"I don't think any of us have any question that had Barack Obama engaged in the activity, the conduct which is the subject of these articles of impeachment, every one of these Republicans would be voting to impeach him," he continued."And you know something, I have to hope to hell, George, if it were Barack Obama, I would vote to impeach him.", the Judiciary Committee approved two articles of impeachment against the president in a party-line vote.
The articles are expected to be approved by the full House on Wednesday. Trump would then face a Senate trial. Already, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has signaled that the trial will not lead to Trump's conviction, which would require 67 votes. "This is, I think, the crux of the matter, which is something the framers were also deeply concerned about, and that is an excess of what they would call factionalism, but we would call extreme partisanship where it is more important to one party that the president of their party remain in office than what he does to the country, and that I think puts us deeply at risk," Schiff said.
We all know that's absolute rubbish.
He’s right
He’s right...and every democrat would work to defend him, just like the republicans are now.
Absolutely.
Yes they would.
Schiff, Republicans would not have lied as you did! You made up the narrative! And I believe you helped the fraudulent whistle blower come up with his claim! YOU ARE A TOTAL FRAUD!
If a Porn Star stated she even knew Obama..Republicans would have voted for impeachment.
If Obama had done half the things this president has done, Republicans and Democrats alike would be impeaching and removing him.
Do you consider Biden tobe a political rival of Trump? Ask Fox News...
AdamSchiff well voting to Impeach BarackObama for winning the 2016 election would be a really weird thing all around, huh? TDS DoJFBIICDNCObamaClintonSchiffCollusion TrumpIsGuiltyOfWinningIn2016
I want to know why the House never gave anyone fines or held them in contempt when they refused to cooperate. Why? Why? Why? The GOP would do it if the shoe were on the other foot.
NBC NEWS. MY PHONE IS CUT OFF. PLEASE PRAY AND CONTACT THE FBI. PLEASE. THIS IS NOT SAFE. PLEASE ASSIST IN THIS MATTER. THANKS. SINCERELY MS. GARY. ROCHDALE VILLAGE, JAMAICA NEW YORK
No quarter. The Democrats knew how this ended.
Nice try. Tough to spot with the “cover” Obama had.
Yes most Republicans are hypocrites.
They no it but everybody no it a white thing them Republicans letting everybody no how racism live in the Republican party and any blacks are Hispanics are any other race of peoples are Republicans they pitiful and they in the Republican party to keep from paying taxes
No. They would be jumping up and down and be having non-stop news conferences. And they would have to wear very dark underpants and pants because their cum would always be visible.
They'll be screaming,yelling,why don't these Democrats👀what we👀this Potus is cheating,he's using his powers to force a nation to Lie on(his)U.S. rival,he's also keeping 391m in weapons & aid,4 a favor oh yes & a desperately needed Whitehouse visit,4(protection) against Putin⏪
What a laugh
Schiffisaliar Schiffmustbeexpelled
AdamSchiff & DEMS still think voters are stupid. •If Obama were POTUS and did the same thing, there'd be no whistleblower; no impeachment; no hoopla •If Hillary had won and did the same, there'd be no whistleblower; no impeachment; no hoopla That's the whole point. nytimes
No, because it’s over nothing and republicans aren’t drama queens
Prediction: Obama will be impeached
He's not wrong.
Spot on
Schiff, Trump has been quilty when he was running for office and for now, he never stopped, and will continue.
Truth!
Ya Obama just did not have snitched Trump should of fired everyone when he took over
It’s a little too late to be making that statement Schiff. You have been trying to cover up Obama’s crimes long enough. The American people are watching you. When the law finally catches up to Obama and Biden. You will be dragged down with them as an accomplice to their crimes.
Wait, Obama actually did abuse his power and no one even threatened impeachment, so WTF is he talking about?!
srn_blk That’s what I’ve been saying all along. With every vile,disgraceful thing Trump has done or said, I think If President Obama had done even ONE THING Trump has done, he’d have been done long ago. The hypocrisy and lies are killing me.
Obama did. GOP didn’t pursue impeachment.
Obama spied on everyone when he was president & no one ever called him out on either side. Why isn’t Lindsey graham going on offense & exposing schiff & rest of these guys trying to perform a coup on trump. Whether you like trump or not he has no one on his side in Washington DC
No because the media covered for Obama just like they’re doing now.
Why drag .BarackObama’s name into this mess at all?
Without question!
You better say it!
IAmSophiaNelson If Obama did just 1% of the crooked sh** Trump did/does, Republicans would want to impeach
Obama is the captain of the swamp. And he is going down.
Lmao! 😆
Yeah, but if, hypothetically, Obama did the same thing, not one Dem would vote for his impeachment. BTW shortly we'll find out how Schiff will really vote when Obama is found guilty of masterminding this entire 3 year hoax & more important, undermining our 2016 elections.
Uh huh. What Obama did is the basis of all this and it's now coming out.
Really? I'm sure Abdulrahman Anwar al-Awlaki's family will be thrilled to hear that.
Oh, it would be pure hell. I can picture Graham &Jordan.
Absolutely, and much quicker than what Democrats are doing right now
Schifty has lost all credibility
Voting 2 impeach him? Graham would b rolling on a floor somewhere foaming at the mouth. McConnell would b sputtering & spasming. The rest would b storming the WH gates. They accused him of being on an apology tour 4 laying a wreath near the site where we dropped the A-bomb.
no one called for impeachment after attack on Libya
Very true. And if Trump had done what Clinton did, every single one of the Democrats would have voted to impeach Trump.
Facts!
This is the difference between parties. The Dems would impeach and remove a Dem president, while the Reps will do what they are doing with tRump. Reps fight dirty (see gerrymandering, voting rights laws, SCOTUS, etc.), while the Dems follow the rules. That's why they lose.
Truth is, Republicans would be in a uproar and Democrats would be defending him! Partisanship is destroying America!
No lies there.
We are finding out that he did far worse 🤦🙄
Liar
BarackObama should be tried for war crimes. If realDonaldTrump did what Obama did he would be put up for war crimes. Actually, probably not since the TheDemocrats love war these days.
No kidding.
The funny thing is: President Obama did these things and worse, but not SINGLE Republican suggested impeachment, EVER.
He did. Except you weren’t interested in impeaching him.
Tell RepAdamSchiff he’s the biggest con artist in Washington
Without a doubt.
Hmmm
Without a doubt.
That rhetoric goes both ways, Shifty
Poor pencil neck Schiff... what a buffoon.
For what... there’s no crime, and if that’s the case what’s going on with joe and the withholding of ONE BILLION from Ukraine... RepAdamSchiff is an idiot... doh! 😂😂😂
does anybody in the entire world doubt this?
Schiff is full of sh*t. And he knows it.
Quick way to confirm this, MAGA folks: 📍Pick a report, Mueller or Ukraine 📍Select FIND and REPLACE 📍Change TRUMP to OBAMA 📍Re-read and *then* tell me it’s NBD
But the question is, would the Democrats be pursuing impeachment against him too?
Pssst...
BULLSCHITT
Yep.
Schiff, the steamy pile !!
True Statement
Adam Schiff: —Lied about Russian Collusion evidence for 2 years —Lied about not knowing the “whistleblower” —Lied about the president’s phone call with Ukraine So why does the Media continue to give him a platform to keep lying in front of millions of Americans? 🤔
Obama is not in office so you can’t impeach him. Duh! However, he can be sent to jail.
Wow ... look at the big brain on RepAdamSchiff ... 🤣 imagine that ... partisan politics playing a favor in DC
Obama can still be impeached for spying on a presidential candidate in 2016. Read fisa report. Obama was involved.
Obama flew money to our enemy on a pallet
Biden did it and nobody said anything. Fire him before I leave or get no money
Five Times Obama Put Conditions on Foreign Aid and Democrats Didn’t Care
Remember that the knock on Obama’s foreign policy was that Russia seemed to own him. My how far we have come.
We already know that. We already know how Republicans voted Clinton out but won’t for Trump. ImpeachTheMFTraitorNow
😂😂😂😂😂 he did
No, actually they would vote to burn him at the stake.
Dry_Observer Ah..no shit...
Liar
Sure 🙄
And every Democrat would be voting against impeachment... And the media would be defending Obama and attacking his accusers... much like the media has attacked Trump, Barr and Durham and will continue to do so to discredit their findings
Chairman schiff should remind Republicans that the investigations of Donald john Trump is not over, and it depend of how Republicans address the evidence in Trump's trial will determining weather Trump face a second impeachment while he is in office office.
I remember he saluted a soldier with a coffee cup in his hand and it was like an all day scandal on Fox News.
Such a liar ' What about all those e mails that was bleached destroyed ,Wow ! What a croc
Obama did do what realDonaldTrump has been accused of and so much more... and he most likely, will be impeached before Barr is finished. In the end, I believe Trump will pardon Obama because he is the bigger man with more integrity.
911CORLEBRA777 No doubt at all!
911CORLEBRA777 No comparison - futile and possibly negatively-impacting connection - why keep comparing an upstanding black man to a mobster? Trump supporters won't be convinced by any of it. 33% of Nixon supporters remained loyal - Trump numbers getting closer. But numbers aren't moral.
He is right! Think about it!!
No they wouldn’t. They didn’t for Clinton.
I'M SO OVER ALL OF YOU SO CALLED P[OLITICIANS OR WHATEVER YOU CALL YOURESELVES. WE HAVE PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF STRUGGLING AND YOU PEOPLE STILL HATE EACH OTHER!! GROW UP AND GET ALONG ALREADY. I HATE THE FACT YOU PEOPLE ACT WORSE THEN CHILDREN!! SO SO SAD!!🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I’m really tired of hearing “if obama would have” it’s aggravating. But he is right. Obama would have been facing an impeachment much sooner than this.
It’s only been being said for the last 3 years
If Clinton had done this he would have been REMOVED!
Not even... they would've Impeached Obama if he was caught doing 1/1,000th the corruption Trump has done.
He would because he hates blacks too.
Oh hell yes
It’s true
He did worse!!! Now what are you going to do Mr Schitt?
'Tell Vladimir I'll have more flexibility after the election' - Barack Hussein Obama 2012
Sure they would ! Birds of a feather flock together !
Yes, they absolutely would but so would the Democrats, and that's the difference. ComplicitCorruptGOP
Obama spied on an incoming President. He weaponized the FBI, CIA, and IRS.
So would Democrats.
He did adam. Nothing happened. Spied on journalist. Colluded with putin aide. Buried fast and furious. Abandoned Benghazi group. Sold out America.
He did a lot Schiff that was sealed BarackObama RepAdamSchiff spineless republicans didn't pursue it-DEMs currently on the other hand have lead a vigorous bogus pursuit to reclaim lost power & the money they trade it for realDonaldTrump GOP TheDemocrats what the future holds
If Obama would’ve done all the shit Trump has done to date the republicans would’ve tried to do something much worse than impeachment to him.
True....and vice versa. Thats why we dislike the Congress.
Unlike the principled statesman that composed the GOP at the time of Watergate, this version is composed of members who behave like noisy undisciplined brats. We need a healthy conservative party for counterbalance. This one is sick and in need of an intervention & healing.
Exactly!
And he is right. Hell, they were in a damn uproar because of a tan suit and Michelle’s bare arms. But Melania’s naked ass is art? Miss me with that BS!!!
You are so right the Republicans no Trump done wrong I agree 100% with you
