Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Sunday that he believes President Trump and his lawyers are "terrified" at the prospect of what former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort could tell prosecutors as part of a new cooperation agreement.
"They may think they know what Manafort has to say because he was part of that joint defense agreement, but they have to know that he may not have told them the full truth," Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence panel, said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"They’re terrified of what he has to say," he continued. "I’m surprised that we are where we are, that Manafort is cooperating."
Manafort, who was convicted last month in Virginia on charges of bank and tax fraud, reached a deal on Friday to cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller and avoid a second trial on additional charges in Washington, D.C.
The White House and Trump's attorney, Rudy Giuliani, have downplayed the potential impact Manafort's deal may have on the president.
Trump's lawyers and Manafort's legal team had a joint defense agreement, meaning the two sides shared information. Giuliani declined to comment on whether a pardon was possible for Manafort, though he has said in the past such an offering would come after Mueller's investigation is ended.
Schiff said Sunday that other potential witnesses who could be implicated in Mueller's probe should take note of Manafort's change in legal strategy after being convicted in Virginia.
"This sends a message to anybody who’s in Bob Mueller’s crosshairs right now, you better get to the special counsel and make your deal right now," he said. "The longer you wait to come clean, the worse deal you’re going to get."
Cool story, Adam.
Projection by Schiffhead.
No, Schiff we’re terrified you’re going to make one of your stupid faces at the camera again.
Unless of course there’s nothing to tell.
schifty must realize his relevance deteriorated months ago, if it ever had weight.
Translation = Say anything to deflect from the Democrats, Hillary, Obama, and senior administration officials.
Just remember folks, as those names new and old (but absent for awhile) who have been showing up lately and mysteriously keep posting here, don’t go out and vote - because there would be no difference between this guy, Schiff, being Chairman of this powerful committee vs. Devin Nunes. I mean, isn’t it obvious there wouldn’t be a dimes worth of difference between the two of them being in charge?
(yes, this is sarcasm)
Is Schiff the guy with those “Bette Davis Eyes”?
I call this opinion wishful thinking, not knowing.
Manafort will offer perjured testimony against Trump which will not stand up under even the most superficial examination. But it will never go to trial. It will be selectively leaked to the media (the October Surprise) in order to damage Republican election prospects in the November mid-terms.
And if the Republicans manage to hold on, there needs to be a vicious payback. Let the purges begin on November 12th!
Yep, old bugeyes.
This guy is always so full of it

No they are not Adam. You and your ilk are terrified. Time has run out for you traitors as the great round up has begun. We will get to your sorry asses soon.
This was the entire point of the witch hunt. Twenty months later and the innuendo is still flying. The democrats eat it up. The President’s response first thing today with the tired comebacks and right leaning media plays its dutiful role in publishing this horse crap day after day. Beautifully executed by the Obama/Crooked team...They and their allies are laughing all the way to bank and possibly power...not so for at least 37 members of Trump’s circle already lawyered up and testifying
He’s a Deep State zombie. Don’t believe a single word this commie POS says. Look at the eyes.....he ain’t all there.
Leftist NPR reported the Manafort deal included nothing about Trump. Wishful thinking on Schiff’s part
“At the count of 3, I will loudly clap my hands, and you will awake, cackling, strutting and flapping your wings, just like a Chicken....one....Two....THREE!”
