Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Sunday said President Donald Trump could spend time in jail once he leaves the White House.
“My takeaway is there’s a very real prospect that on the day Donald Trump leaves office, the Justice Department may indict him. That he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time,” Schiff, a former prosecutor and the incoming chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said on “Face the Nation” on CBS.
The suggestion comes after federal prosecutors on Friday said Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal attorney, was directed by Trump in 2016 to make hush money payments to two women who claimed affairs with Trump, who was then a candidate for the Oval Office. The statement came in a memo that suggested Cohen serve a “substantial” prison sentence of 51 to 63 months.
“We have been discussing the issue of pardons that the president may offer to people or dangle in front of people,” said Schiff. “The bigger pardon question may come down the road as the next president has to determine whether to pardon Donald Trump.”
The congressman added he thinks prosecutors made a “powerful case against that idea” in their sentencing memo.
“This was the argument for putting Michael Cohen in jail on these campaign violations. That argument I think was equally made with respect to Individual-1, the president of the United States,” according to Schiff.
Looks like Schiff is making noise like a empty vessel.
Do you agree with this theory?
Total Left Schiff-for Brains BS.
Adam Schiff , needs to remember, what comes around goes around !, & it WILL BITE HIM, he wants too be the ONE that brings down a sitting President, BRING IT ON HERO, He’s about too find out a thing or two about our laws!.
Adam Schiff is an idiot! If the DOJ is going to investigate Trump for hush-money allegedly directed by him during the 2016 campaign, then they damn sure better investigate Hillary for the MANY criminally chargeable and possible treasonous offenses she committed during that and earlier time periods! Schiff and his far left Dem pals and gals should be investigated for improprieties committed and supported against this POTUS
Cunselling to commit a crime is a felony, As soon as trump leaves office he can be arrested and charged with that crime.
The DOJ , FBI , Muller, Comey, Rosenstein, And most of the Democratic Party would have the gall to claim any Criminal act against President Trump after what The Clinton’s did in 16. Not to mention all of the crimes committed by these and other Democratic Party members in the DOJ FBI CIA and even Obama.
Clean your on house before saying someone else is dirty.
Hell no!! He was not president yet! Clinton is the one to go to jail!!’
Schiff is like the rest of he Dumbocrats. “Let he without Sin cast the first Stone”
They cannot stand it that President Trump has already done more for Ameica then any other Presidenr after only 2 years in office. We are beside you Mr President!!
Yes we are with our president
Mr McDonald;
Bringing up a statement said by Jesus doesn’t change the result. Trump is a big time felon. His acolyte, Paul Manafort, couldn’t stop lying to the FBI even after they had made a deal. He had lied so often, he no longer knew what was the truth. Trump is recorded to have lied 6,00 times by the Washington Post since his inauguration. Why should anyone, except a totally blind supporter believe him? Mr Cohen was ready “to take a bullet” for Trump; see where that got him – three years in Club Fed.
TOTALLY❗️
Amen
Every time I see or hear that Schiff creep my blood boils and my skin crawls. This typical California left wing, hate filled hypocritical fool has done more to hurt this country along with the rest of the liberal reptiles that crawl out of that god forsaken state.
Conservatives, we need to take a stand against the Schitt’s, Pelosi’s, Schumer’s, Watters, Bookers, Feinstein’s. They are going to ruin this country.
Stand by Trump.
Mr Schiff needs to explain the tax payer payoff that he made for his sexual encounter with a nineteen year old girl. This is the secret slush fund from tax payer money
why would anybody take the story Cohen is telling for the truth.Why would anybody with a brain believe Schiff.Why would anybody believe what Mueller tells he aint snow white
So, When are these same people going to dig deep into Hillary and Obama crimes!?
I agree! The problem is that the D-Crats are running scared. afraid they will be the target of a witch hunt! Many of them rightfully should be. President Trump and his family need a lot of PRAYER support instead of negative criticism.
Will we ever see a one standard justice administered for these left liberals? The Clintons criminal actions from e- mails, pay for play, uranium 1,trips to pedophile island, Spirit suppers, assaults on women, and more and they keep on trucking.
How stupid can you get?????
Wasn’t this already investigated and shown to have been a private affair before he ran for office? Including the pay off with private funds by his lawyer acting on that premise.
Those who have nothing to offer besides hatred and lies should stop with this garbage and do something POSITIVE for this country, KM
I think Alan Schiff is full of BS he should spend his time doing things that he was elected to do if Trump paid off those women with his own money those women were selling themselves and Trump is buying if it’s true that should be between Trump and his wife, The Democrats Ott to be runing the country and not talking about Trump
I think the president paid with is own money not political contributions. So why can’t a person spend his own money anyway he wants to? Kiss off dumb’os.
So sick and tired of hearing the left condemn the president, bashing him every time you turn around. Had they all not been obstructionists he would’ve even gotten more accomplished in his last two years.
Schiff,should look into democrats who committed crimes they are not being tried nor sentenced for. This President has done more for this country than anyother, He puts America first and tells it like it is. His past
was his private affair, long before president, and has nothing to do with his running the country.
pooooooooooooooot.
One wonders if that is the extent of your vocabulary?
Schiff is just like the rest of the Dumbocrats , just want to make noise as they say grand standing.
If President Trump did not win the Americans would not know all the bad things that has been going on with corrupt politicians. President Trump is God sent.
What a piece of Schiff..flush it
Adam Shiffty is a bag of hot air! President Trump contributed millions to his own campaign, which is legal and it is not illegal for him to “settle” with accusers of shameful conduct, whether or not he was previously intimately involved, with one or twenty of them, in any personal way, as long as the interaction was consenting, by the adults involved. This B.S. is Demonrats attempting to damage their chief rival, while distracting attention away from actual criminal activity they engaged in. Swamp dwelling snakes doin’ the serpentine dance!
Why the heck is Hillary walking around free?!?!?!
I fully agree and most true Americans today would agree with John McDonald. The Demon rats are a bunch of liars and hypocrites. If anyone really needs to serve some prison or jail time it would be
Comey, McCabe, the two FBI clowns, Bill & Hillary Clinton, the Obamas, Soros and the rest of the swamp creatures who want to destroy American and moral views.
Have a great day and Merry Xmas to those that have better things to do than mock our POTUS and real Americans.
JK
Schiff should go away somewhere and take the rest of the democrats with him.
I agree with John McDonald. They are all jealous of his accomplishments. The weasels like Schiff, Rosenstein, Comey that can’t stand up on their own 2 feet. Schumer and Maxine Waters, worse than Pelosi, spewing trash talk about the President to try to win votes from other voters that can’t think for them selves.
How is it the “Dumbocrats” , as well as DOJ and Mueller, have ignored the obvious guilt of H Clinton in Clinton Foundation, in selling US uranium to Russia, in taking hundreds of millions illegally from foreign donors, of destroying emails and for being a fraud for decades, but are willing to spend $40 millions in trying to find any trace of wrongdoing on Pres. Trump?
Adam Schitt is like every other Democrat in the US Congress, a piece of corrupt human garbage who is trying to deny the will of the people. Oh and they will say that Hillary won the popular vote, of course she did with 10 million illegal aliens voting for her. You scumbag Democrats the American people see what you are doing and your day will come.
Men love darkness rather than the light. Our beloved president Trump has so way passed all other leaders and his policies are WORKING and his decisions are tantamount to our great country so he and his supporters, I am one of them, WILL LEAVE A BETTER AMERICA for the next generation OUR CHILDREN. THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!
Yes we are with our president
The ONLY ones that are going to FACE JAIL Time is the DEPLORABLE DUMMY RAT DEMOCRATS !! They are the ONLY ones that are Corrupt,
Habitual Liars, Women and Wife Beaters and Abusers, Perverts and
Harassers..
need to check him out go back to grade school and get the crimes on him
You Shifty will be in Gitmo or hung for your involvement in child trafficking, pedophilia with the rest of the Demonic Rats in the Cannibal Club! Not much you can do from Gitmo or from Hell! Now is there?
trump aint gonna be indicted on nothing these morons just want to be in power and if the american people would open their eyes and just voted these career democraps all this bullshit be over
I think Adam Schiff is a sorry piece of trash.
Dems are jealous cry babies. I wonder, how do they look at themselves in the mirror? They seem to hate Americans & favor ANYONE from any other country. What a bunch of phonies.
Every time I see that google eye, slimy reptile Schiff on tv my skin crawls. If there was-ever a better poster boy for a hate filled left wing cretin this Schiff lameo is it.
What the President if he did do it it’s not against the law, two who knows what deal he did with muller to only get 3 years and might not serve a day. Schiff is the one whose might wind up serving time and he’s saying anything to draw the attention away from him. And mueller is at the present being investigated himself. They’re all throwing the attention away from them but we know better..
Lock him up
These demoshits will never be satisfied with the president no matter if they are right or wrong. It’s going on 2 years and they still attacking the president for stupid bullshits. Those people or more less then humans won’t stop till the president is 6 ft. Under. Evil son of bitches…..They get away with corruption lies and murdered but they trying to take the president out just cause the president is mean to them. Grow up assholes welcome to reality…let the president do his job and if you don’t like it leave. Get out of this country permanently. Do all yourself a favor
Close the government if the Democrats continue to be obstructionists on the southern barrier to keep illegal aliens with their MS-13 gang members, disease, and terrorists out of this country. It seems the President is the only one in the Federal Government, not to mention State sanctuary state governments, that is fulfilling his oath of office – to keep America safe. And the federal government should be paying attention to South and Central America with Russian nuclear bombers in Argentina and taking over the Panama Canal as well as China calling in their loans, taking over smaller countries. What happened to the Monroe Doctrine? We live in scary times. But the Demorats want to attack the President. Stupid, stupid, stupid. A pox on them all!
When you have Representatives who have been on a Witch Hunt for two years with felonious charges and evidences that does not add up making comments like these. Then the said Representatives should be suspended from chairing any committee due to his and his party using the chair and committee to keep the Congress and the Senate tied up with factious allegations to impede the work of the President of the United States and the work of the people’s business. This is also the same Representatives using tax payers funds to elevate their names for political purpose.
We the People should bring charges on the whole body of government for the waste time and funds used in their actions. Even with the whole body of government being charged, the individuals bringing these investigations under uncirstanuated evidence should be held accountable on individual basies.
Adam Schiff is an idiot!
Yet the Clinton crooks are still goingi free!!! Schiff is full of Schifft!!! Trump has done NOTHING wrong. Yet the real crooks are right in front of the Schitts eyes.
NWO Illuminati Adam Schitt is just a viper looking for someone to bite with his poisonous fangs of degeneracy. Nothing good emenates from this reptile.
Time will tell on all of this felon waist of the tax payers money. Investigation and ego battle. …..who goes to prison and for what….. Stormy Daniels was just ordered , by a judge , to pay Trump’s legal bills for violating her contract with Trump to the tune of 289 k. Bit did that back fire on her big mouth. I think the bigger Question: why doesn’t schiff take on former president Bill Clinton and his voodoo Practicing wife who ripped off the American People and violated our American constitution? She colluded with the Russians by selling 20% of America’s defense power of raw materials , yellow cake uranium to Putin. Isn’t that A huge Russian pay-off (Hush Money) even more severe and more important a story to Prosecute than Trump’s Stormy stupidity? Felon , what a farce IMHO , when there are incideous felons and crimes being committed by the Clintons. Schiff won’t touch that .. And he owes it to his country , the tax payers that pay his salary to investigate the Uranium One deal now. He needs to be locking up that cabal if he’s so gun hoe to take down crime in government. He should be acting in good faith to the American people. Why isn’t Schiff going after The Clinton Foundation and working with Tom Fitton ? That Clinton Foundation is clearly unlawful, and makes the Stormy Trump Stupidity look like juvinal hall. Schiff needs to back up and go after The Uranium One / Clinton Foundation felonies and stop with the democrates verses the republican Bullshit. Americans , both Democrates and Republicans are all watching this shit go down together . Why can’t Schiff shift his focus for all Amwricans to this much larger henious mess the Clintons created for America!!??
Schiff like to hear the sound of his own voice. He is a bag of wind and the dems will go nowhere with their witch hunts….
Mr. McDonald yours is the opinion that all loyal, sane, decent Americans subscribe to. If there’s any justice left in this country & the world at large then President Trump will overcome all the rottenness that is Obama’s stated third term, i.e., the treasonous attempt to destroy a duly elected President of the United States’ term(s) in office to accomplish the vitally important task of undoing the last administration’s illegal & destructive travesties.
Schiff is as dumb as a box of rocks he has his head so far up his butt all he is surrounded by is his own bs
Schiff is mentally unstable at best! There are quite a few IDIOTS in Congress, and he is among the leaders of the IDIOT squad! Also he is a poster child for term limits!!
Adam Schiff, along with a lot of his democrat colleagues, should be in jail already.
No! What for!! President Trump is not guilty of anything. This witch hunt has to stop. The libs have to get over the fact their criminal Clinton didn’t get in!! But any President like Obama who gives 150 billion bucks to a terrorist country should have been brought up on charges of treason and then impeached!! Trump is trying his hardest to protect our country from dangerous illegals and criminals! Leave him alone and let him lead!!
It’s all theater because they must find a way hook or crook to diminish Trump’s voter base before 2020. Or to stop Trump sooner before they become a part of the swamp’s criminal discloser.
I can’t stand that so called man. I hope they find something on him. The way he keeps going after Trump , tells me he is not to be trusted he is hiding something for sure.!!!!!
I have to agree, that Adam Shifty, is a victim of Trump Derangement Syndrome, but if you dare criticize the worm, you run the risk of being branded a homophobe by the statist left Dim-o-craps.
Let be honest with ourselves, President Trump is the only president in decades to recognize the state of emergency and take action to eliminate and correct the problems. The left was instrumental in creating the problems and now they’re behaving like spoiled children because Trump is proving that their agenda is wrong.
If evidence has the same weight as hear-say, then there is no question that Obama should also be in jail for giving aid and comfort to the enemy, Iran (his Yalta Accord with Iran) and Russia (the Uranium 1 sale to Russia and giving Russia permission to sell Uranium to Iran). All of congress would have to be in jail for perjury, usurpation, and undermining the U.S. Constitution in other ways. For a start, read article 1, section 1 of the Constitution. If that part of the Constitution is to be disregarded and not obeyed, the whole Constitution is not law, and thus is null and void.
Shifty Schiff. This guy even looks shifty. He will continue to lie and make false accusations about Trump until he and all other Demoncrats believe it as truth.
Schiff will fall prey some day to his own treachery. The sooner the better for this evil being.
Nothing but a smoke screen trying to hide their guilty selfes behind . What about this ballot harvesting deal stealing elections all over the country ,This is a real coo , justice department, FBI stonewalling Congress ,it’s time for potus to activate military and put these buracatic Al Capone’s behind bars how mush more manure are the American people , good Americans are going to continue to rub in our God Fearing Faces
Trump is a liar. (6000+ times since he took office)
So basically when he opens his mouth.
He is a crook. He rarely uses the official presidential retreats. But almost exclusively stays at his own properties. He gains about $100,000 each time that he stays at one. That’s taxpayer money.
He has stopped the move of the FBI headquarters to a more efficient location…because he is fearful that the location will be bought by a competitor and give his hotel a hard time financially!
He is a coward. Gutless wonder. Dodged the draft (four times?). Yet he wants to “play soldier” by surounding himself with generals and saluting.
He’s a bully to his friends and a kiss-ass to his enemies.
He’s criminally ignorant of science. His legacy will be the climate altering, prolonged decimating entire species and possibly setting back civilization a thousand years.
He’s a racist, misogynistic, narcissist.
A scary clown.
I can’t judge anyone who supports this administration. I do know that thousands of Americans gave their lives to defeat Hitler. To say that there was anyone who could be compared with the Neo-Nazis at Charlottesville, VA is totally out of touch with reality.
I served in Korea. Anyone who thinks that Kim Jong-Un can be trusted is a fool. The Red Chinese don’t even trust him.
Personally, I have an urge to brush my teeth when I say Pres. Trump’s name, but that’s just me.
Awaiting moderation by whom? Conservative Buzz, “Free Speaking Conservative News, or Facebook?
What I’d like to know is why the democrats have so much power over the U.S. government?
Why are they able to get away with so many crimes when the Republicans are in office?
Who is letting them get away with all these crimes?
Some of Democrats favorite attributes are hatred, create chaos, and lie to deceive.
Schifty is just trying 2 keep himself in the limelight. Alon with Kamala,Dianne,Nancy,Chucky,B2,Corey,Max,Bernie,Schmo,, F&F Holder & Fauxcahontas They all have delusions of grandeur, they think they can b POTUS or world ruler?
When the country believes, erroneously, that the Russians meddled in the election and changed the vote; you
know were in trouble. Even after Rosenstien goe on TV and radio and says no American or Russian changed the vote. So, Schiff knows he can say anything and people will believe it. He is disgusting at best. Very few
Republicans are not trying to change the dialogue or put the truth out there. I just know that I am sick and
disgusted with the whole mess. PanAmgirl
