Adam Schiff throws down gauntlet against Donald Trump
How scared is Donald Trump of incoming House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff? He recently went so far off the deep end about him, he ended up referring to him as “Adam Schitt.” The reason is pretty straightforward: Schiff is just a few weeks away from launching a subpoena-filled and very public investigation into Trump’s ugliest scandals. Trump’s attempts at intimidation clearly haven’t worked, as Schiff just threw down the gauntlet.
Adam Schiff appeared on ABC This week and flatly stated that “There is now testimony, there is now a witness, who confirms that in the same way Michael Flynn was compromised, that the president and his business are compromised.” This assertion is not to be taken lightly. Flynn’s actions reveal that he was essentially a willing Kremlin asset, as he plotted with the Russian Ambassador during the transition period to try to illegally sabotage U.S. sanctions against Russia, and worse.
Adam Schiff is accusing Donald Trump of being every bit as “compromised” as Flynn. In other words, Schiff is saying that Trump is also a willing Russian asset who has plotted with the Kremlin against the United States. Schiff is a former prosecutor who tends to choose his words carefully. He wouldn’t be saying something like this about Trump unless he’s sitting on a treasure trove of evidence to back it up.
While this week’s revelation about Trump Tower Moscow proves that Donald Trump was plotting with the Russians during the election for financial and political reasons, this barely scratches the surface of what all has become public over the past two years, along with whatever else prosecutors are surely sitting on. Schiff just threw down the gauntlet; we’ll soon find out what he has up his sleeve.
