California Rep. Adam Schiff kicked off the House Democrats' three-day opening case against President Trump by accusing him of trying to "cheat" in the 2020 election through his Ukraine dealings, following a raucous first day of impeachment trial speeches in the Senate that lasted into the middle of the night.
Trump "attempt[ed] to use the powers of the presidency to cheat in an election," Schiff, the top House Democratic impeachment manager, said in kicking off the House's case against Trump. He argued the only remedy is impeachment -- going so far as to question the legitimacy of this year's presidential election with Trump back on the ticket.
"The president's misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box, for we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won," warned Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee who led much of the House's impeachment inquiry last year.
Trump believes "he's above the law" and the president engaged in one of "the most blatant efforts of a cover-up in history" once the House started investigating, Schiff said from the well of the Senate chamber.
Meanwhile on Wednesday, a fuming Sen. Lindsey Graham accused House Democrats of trying to "destroy the institution of the presidency" in the name of taking down Trump.
“They are on a crusade to destroy this man!" Graham, R-S.C., said minutes before heading to the Senate chamber to listen to Schiff's speech.

Don't forget, Schiffty's BFF, Ed Buck, is currently behind bars.
Which means the Dems cheated...
Like Democrats never cheat. Pot meet kettle.
What a piece of Schiff this guy is.
What a cool story, Adam!
Thanks fer sharing, you little pedo creep.
So he can see into the future?
Right.......
IOW Democrats cannot be investigated.
And Biden might not be the nominee.
This is a criminal conspiracy by Democrats to overthrow a rightful president, or at least to rig a free election in 2020. They’ve issued fraudulent subpoenas, spied, and held unconstitutional closed-door proceedings. I hope when the dust of this clears they face charges themselves.
Ironically, they are going to have to find someone with Tiny Hands to fashion the Noose to fit around Shifty’s Pencil Neck after his Conviction of Treason.
FL Senator Marco Rubio may be tasked to do the work.
This entire impeachment fiasco is just one big DNC campaign commercial. They have no case, but have a national forum to trash the opponent for days on end.
Problem is, their message is making them look like the fools they are.
this, from the spokesman for a party, that has gone so far as to hiring foreign governments and agents to interfere with the Trump campaign in 2016. And interfere with his presidency for the last 3 years.
Schiff thinks he’s J.Edgar. But he’s just another coyote.
Fighting international corruption hurts the Democrat Party.
That’a the upshot of his argument.
In the days of the Old West, they had ways of handling misfits like chicken-sciff...tall tree, rope.....
It’s too bad Joe Biden forced Ukraine to call off their Burisma investigation. Obviously, they would have found no evidence of wrong-doing and the cloud of suspicion hanging over Humper and Gropin’ would never have been allowed to form.
Doesn’t Biden bear some sort of responsibility for calling attention to his probable corrupt dealing with the Ukrainians? It is the media that is supposed to run with this kind of story, but they are kind AWOL with this story.

Don't hold your breath. Ain't happening.
Gutfeld, if you’re listening, make Shillu’s parody this week extra cutting. I need catharsis, having accidentally listened to him five seconds past my tolerance point.
Here Schiff accuses Trump of doing what he and the demoncRats have been doing and still are.
They are still trying to strike down the 2016 election results, and to corrupt the 2020 election.
