Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), a member of the House select committee investigating the Jan 6, 2021, attack at the Capitol, said on Sunday that he believes the Department of Justice (DOJ) should investigate former President Trump for his actions on that day.
“If the department were now to take the position that you can’t investigate or indict a former president, then a president becomes above the law. That’s a very dangerous idea that the founders would have never subscribed to,” Schiff said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
“Even more dangerous, I think in the case of Donald Trump. Donald Trump is someone who has shown when he’s not held accountable, he goes on to commit worse and worse abuses of power. So I agree … there was evidence that the former president engaged in multiple violations of the law, and that should be investigated.”
When moderator Margaret Brennan mentioned the notion of the political calculus surrounding the possible prosecution of a former president, Schiff said it would be worse to not hold Trump accountable at all.
“It’s certainly not a step to be taken lightly at all. At the same time, immunizing a former president who has engaged in wrongdoing, I would agree with our vice chair, I think is more dangerous than anything else, and the decision not to move forward to the investigation or not to move forward to the prosecution, because of someone’s political status or political influence or because they have a following – to me, that is a far more dangerous thing to our Constitution than following the evidence wherever it leads, including when it leads to a former president,” Schiff responded.
Schiff added that the latest committee hearings have shown Trump’s efforts to have the 2020 elections results overturned, noting how Trump didn’t...

Schithead should breaking rocks in the hot son with the rest of his comrades.
Hopefully, by November, enough Americans will have had enough of these a**holes.
Not only do they “not have anything”, but, it appears that the FBI/DOJ have privately told Schiff, (and the committee), that there is no crime to indict Trump for. Otherwise he would not be pushing to get public opinion pressure on the DOJ to indict Trump.
More millions of taxpayer money spent on a witch hunt that will go nowhere.
I’ve noticed that the “push to indict” is on.
When I use the MS Edge browser, there is a homepage that comes up (Bing?). I usually see articles about Lizard, Schiff, or Crybaby and J6. Sometimes crap from Raw Story or Saloon. Lots of stuff from NBC or MSLSD or Yahooooooo.
I’ve been seeing articles recently from all three of them about 45’s “criminality”.
The three of them along w/ Bennie Thompson are liars and they are the ones that belong in jail for what they have done.
‘Pod
Agree. 😀🤗😃
It’s time Shiftforbrains retired and spent more time with his family.
Schiff for brains needs to be arrested.
Maybe the DOJ should look into Adams relationship with Ed black. And the management of the hotel shifty owns iirc, where minor transvestite prostitutes overdose and die .
Lil Schitt was in on the planning of the “insurrection “
The Bozo of Burbank belongs in Leavenwirth.
I doubt he has any family that wants him
Schiff: DOJ should investigate Trump for Russian collusion
Schiff: DOJ should investigate Trump for quid pro quo
They know if they indict Trump they all can be called as witnesses, and, there’s discovery….
I was thinking a bit beyond that.
Would DJT get a fair trial in a DC court? Their specialty seems to be railroading republicans.
The DOJ should investigate this POS for perpetrating the Russia hoax.
I get that Bing page too. Do you know, is there some way to turn it off?
It’s full of left-wing propaganda. I hate it.
I’m just a silly female, but I wouldn’t touch Bing with a ten foot pole.
Startpage.com is for me.
Bing is for Microsoft and the odious Bill Gates.
