House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff said even if a report from special counsel Robert Mueller exonerates President Trump, impeachment talk might remain on the table

He raised the Trump Tower Moscow project that the president has acknowledged continued through much of the 2016 campaign as one point of interest, calling it “one very graphic illustration that may or may not be criminal and would be … deeply deeply compromising.”

Schiff also suggested that Trump, who faces dismal polling numbers heading into his reelection campaign, may take the same tack in 2020.

Schiff is desperate and pathetic and disgusting and embarrassing

Any reasonable person knows that Treasonous Trump conspired with Russia to win the elections and the corrupt Republicans have obstructed justice in support of Trump. CorruptGOP

That is a picture of one of the biggest f&$ks in the Democrat party! A total loser and a great example of what Democrats are all about today. Getting absolutely nothing done, wasting everybody’s time and money. Democrats are terrible for the USA!

SOMETIME SCHIFFTY SEEMS SO LIFE LIKE YOU THINK HE'S A REAL BOY, INSTEAD OF A SOROS PUPPET!

It’s gotta be hard to see your whole reason for being going down the toilet......RepAdamSchiff

usesquire18 Of course it will. There are a host of other impeachable conduct by Trump not in Mueller’s mandate. I wish everyone would stop associating Trump’s crimes w/just Mueller investigation

The media created lying Adam Schitt.

RepAdamSchiff If Bob Mueller lets him off him off he has to stay after & rework the assignment! And show us the math!

AdamSchiff is moving the goal posts. Didn't Rod Rosenstein's mandate to Mueller say 'and any other crimes that may be discovered' (outside of collusion & obstruction)? I hope the voters who chose this Democratic House majority are happy with pointless nonstop investigations.

Event negative thing said about Schitt is perfectly accurate !

He’s right up there with the most clueless Congress persons

Not gonna happen- 45’s handlers said no. NancyCaved

I feel a dividing line is developing between House leadership and those with a more clearer conscience without political regard. The media refuses to publish what Pelosi really said. If there is compelling evidence, then impeachment would be considered.

At least he is policing the administrative branch. All the Democrats should be busily doing that, since Trump and McConnell won't let them legislate. We all know there are issues throughout the government now. Daylighting them will enable the next president to be prepared.

The Eddie Haskel of politics

There exists ample evidence to impeach many members of the U.S. Congress. How about pursuing impeachment for those criminals?

RepAdamSchiff is nothing but a flunky ! America is totally aware of his unfit behavior and harassment towards our Great President Trump ! RepAdamSchiff needs to be investigated ASAP. !

Thanks for the heads up Shifty Schiff. Did you have any other meetings recently colluding with witnesses?

Otherwise how does Schiff keep the dogs off of himself? This guy....😂😂😂😂

Trump, meet Checks

Because y’all won’t stop using tax payer’s money until you have Trump’s head. Meanwhile, the ACTUAL work that you were hired to do to help improve the lives of the American people lies lifeless, or in gridlock. Please change your course. AdamSchiff

Well considering the impeachable offenses he’s had don’t relate to Russia that makes sense. Clinton got impeached for LYING ABOUT A BJ

The house is not limited in scope.

WitchHunt Achiff is abusing his power and must be held accountable.

Give it up Schiff and do something good for the country. Remember how we use to see unrest’s in foreign countries and felt good we live in USA. You are a big part of this unrest. We have a wonderful country why do you and your crony’s along with others want to destroy.

Lol 😂 There’s nothing in mueller report and full of schitt is not pleased. Exactly what he is - full of schitt from the beginning! Where was the “all kinds kid evidence”!?

Promises made.....Promises kept. I want handcuffs.

Yes. Impeachment and criminal probes are separate. Impeachment is a political process.

Yes, makes perfect sense. Even if the golden god we’ve been praying to, and funneling your money into for 3 years didn’t pan out. Well, we’ll just change the rules yet again and invent a new crime he’s committed. Piece of 🍰

It's not going to exonerate him, not even close. If he wasn't worried about it, why has he been attacking it, & Mueller, & his prosecutors, & the cooperators, & the media reporting the bad stuff they've found, from day 1? HE IS ACTING LIKE HE HAS SOMETHING TO HIDE, it's obvious

And it should. The Constitution must be followed.

That’s because RepAdamSchiff likes to waste tax payer money.

RepAdamSchiff another useless politician in for self enrichment only.

Witch Hunt!

well, yeah-- Trump is a lifelong Criminal and a traitor who really really needs to be impeached even if Mueller exonerates him (which isn't going to happen). TrumpisaCriminal TrumpCrimeFamily ImpeachTrump ITMFA

Dems are running out of time to impeach Trump. Impeachment on the election months will cost Dems votes. If they have to do it, it has to be done within 6 months from now.

Schiff Is heading to prison, keep that in mind. This is a desperate man who does not want his crimes exposed! Well, it's going to happen! Get ready dude!

Trump hails judge's statement distancing Manafort from Russia collusionTrump said he felt “very badly” for his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort after he was sentenced to nearly four years in prison, adding the judge found “there was no collusion [with Russia]. It’s a collusion hoax. It’s a collusion witch hoax.” Trump loves felons. The judge made no findings on the issue of collusion and no issue of collusion was presented to him. The judge is a right-wing tool that violated many norms during the trial and should be impeached. this case had nothing to do with russia. the judge banned the mention of russia in the case.

Trump says he feels 'very badly' for Manafort after his sentencingReporter: 'Are you ruling out a pardon for Manafort?' Trump: 'I don't even discuss it. The only one discussing it is you...I know that in watching you folks at night that Michael Cohen lied about the pardon.' Trump is right. Again. In other words, a pardon for Paul Manafort after next weeks sentencing. Why are democrats concerned about pardons all of a sudden?

His sentencing hearing will mark a rare moment of closure for the Mueller investigation, which still has multiple open loops | Analysis by stcollinson StCollinson so StCollinson Paul is a political prisoner who should be pardoned like all political prisoners incarcerated around the world In China, Russia, Vietnam and Cuba.
