President Trump demanded that ‘shifty’ Adam Schiff be deposed Sunday, calling the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, one of the panels investigating impeachment, ‘corrupt’ and ‘a fraud’.
“I demand his deposition,” Trump said.
“He is a fraud, just like the Russia Hoax was, and the Ukraine Hoax is now. When do the Do Nothing Democrats pay a price for what they are doing to our Country, & when do the Republicans finally fight back?”
The President also hit out at Nancy Pelosi for leading a congressional delegation to Jordan to inquire about Syria.
Trump said that if she wants answers on Syria, Pelosi should look to what Obama did.
Others charged that Pelosi and Schiff are violating The Logan Act with the trip to Syria.
The law criminalizes negotiation by unauthorized persons with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States.

I like that Trump is a fighter and I enjoy the trolling, but isn’t it a bit silly to call for Schiffs deposition unless he is taking Schiff to court? Did I miss something? Is the POTUS in a legal suit with Schiff? Would be great if he was on the offensive.
Schiff is attempting to impeach Trump without going to trial. It’s just a taste of turn-about.
I was thinking that just yesterday. Why isn’t Trump suing Schiff? I understand that anything said on the house floor is protected by he has lied repeatedly on camera and he exploits the house intel committee to get his political dirt. This is the kind of stuff that was supposed to be protected under seperation of powers and should probably be heard by the supreme court.
Shiff and Pelosi are having a pretend impeachment without a vote in the House and using legal terminology for their farcical investigation. Trump using the same terminology is no sillier than the non-impeachment impeachment farce in the House issuing subpoenas that they have no legal right to issue and cannot enforce.
Schiff needs a ride on Harry Reid’s stairmaster.
Remember this in January....
US President Donald Trump has postponed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's upcoming trip to Brussels and Afghanistan, asking her to stay to negotiate an end to the partial US government shutdown.
The president was able to halt the trip by denying the use of military aircraft to Mrs Pelosi and a delegation.
On Wednesday Mrs Pelosi had urged Mr Trump to postpone his State of the Union address, amid political deadlock.
Mr Trump's move came on the 27th day of the US's longest-ever federal shutdown.
The Republican president wants $5.7bn (£4.4bn) of congressional funding to build a wall on the US-Mexico border, but Democrats have refused.
Mr Trump's cancellation of the trip emerged less than an hour before the Democratic speaker of the House of Representatives was scheduled to leave on Thursday afternoon, US media say.
Guess he’s showing how silly they all are. Impeachment behind closed doors. We can expect them to come out of this yelling he’s a witch, a witch! burn him at the stake!
