Schiff: Trump should probably be indicted when he leaves office | TheHill

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Tuesday that President Trump should probably be indicted once he leaves the White House for his alleged role in campaign finance law violations and bank fraud.

Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty last year to multiple crimes he says he carried out at Trump's behest, though most legal experts agree that a sitting president cannot be indicted.
==================================
If he gets reelected, he may be able to avoid this via the statute of limitations But if he loses next year, all bets are off.

Soooo nothing is stopping the FEC from fining Trump for campaign finance violations. Why hasnt Schiff filed the complaint?

So much of a fair, impartial and open investigation. I wonder what he and his staff discussed with Cohen for 14 hours? The weather, their grandchildren?

Well first of all it was cohens lawyers not Cohen and how do the hours keep climbing?

Obviously they were discussing what could and couldn't be asked a d answered, and the sheer amount of that is so extensive that it took hours.

Kinda bursting the cultists, Muellers got nothing balloon....

I don't know how the hours keep climbing, but that's what I heard. Anyway, why isn't Schiff waiting on Mueller's report? The Dems made such a giant deal about letting him finish his work. Here is Schiffty jumping the shark before it's published.

No worries, that is all still coming...

All the lying by the trump crime family has slowed down the investigation enough that the outcome will be announced just as the campaign is heating up is gong to backfire on the criminals and their cultists...

Because there are a lot of things trump and company have done that may not quite reach the standard of beyond a reasonable doubt, however will easily cross the lines of high crimes and misdemeanors...

Do you really think trump has been in the Whitehouse and has not got at least a blow job???

Law and order party has become the Scofflaw and disorder party.

Pathetic that they embrace these criminal scum and excuse it as a fishing expidition.

A black man runs from the cops and is executed, this is justice.

Financial criminals like Trump and his cabal of deviants rob the american people and lie to congress, this is a witch hunt.

****ing pathetic. Utterly pathetic.

Considering who his wife is, I'd hope so. BTW, I thought you guys didn't think a blowjob was impeachable.

Please... His wife hasn't touched his old ass is years, she doesn't even like to hold hands with him.

Really who would put his mushroom In their mouth knowing it had been in stormy???

And getting a bj is not, lying is another story, Clinton should have said none of your damn business when asked about it.

Trump will have the same. issue, be can't tell the truth no matter what, hell he is still denying that anything happened with stormy...

Mycroft said:

Take Trump to court. See if he pleads guilty. LOL!! He won't. Then the prosecutor will HAVE to prove that a crime had been committed...something that wasn't done with Cohen.

No crime...your "evidence" is useless.

I addressed your false narrative already. Cohen is going to jail for these crimes. See how you attempt to soothe your bruised psyche posting "see if he pleads guilty" and then ramble on. You're simply doing what all fact resistant people do: Come up with incoherent babble as if it addresses my post.

Dude...the past is past.

actually MC, birtherism is mostly in the past. I'm sure there are still a few of you out there. But birtherism is still a good indication of the dishonesty of people like trump and the conservative media and gullible fools like you who believed it. And its especially important to note that about half of all conservatives were gullible fools. it adds context to conservatives whining and flailing about trump's "innocence". These gullible fools tend to babble incoherently as if its a reply to someone's post. See above.

Hell, I could have predicted Trump's actions regarding Ukraine and NATO. He never made a secret of what he thought about those topics. If that's all you got out of the Steele Dossier...well, as we know, you have nothing. BTW, Obama said the Russians were behind the hacks BEFORE Steele did. Looks like he was just "predicting" something that we already knew.

Click to expand...

Oh MC, the next logical step for someone who is fact resistant is to create narratives out of thin air to ignore actual facts. Its just what you do. remember when you hilariously concluded "an investigative team concluded President Obama's BC was a fake". so now you've created a couple of narratives to ignore the Steele dossier's accuracy. Okay MC, back that up. Show us how everybody predicted trump would change the republican platform concerning Ukraine and President Obama told us about the hacking before steele. and for a bonus, could you post the "narrative" fact resistant people use to ignore trump calling America murderers. thanks in advance

Are you seriously unaware that Trump has been implicated in a criminal conspiracy in federal court already- known as ‘Individual-1’?

Mycroft, I understand your need to look for any excuse to cowardly cut and run from your posts. Its just what fact resistant people do when their falsehoods are called out. why is that acceptable to you? I know all conservatives do it but why do you think its okay? You can believe trump is innocent if you want but you just don't get to deny the facts, flail and whine to do so. It just proves again that you are fact resistant. So Mycroft, please back up your claims. thanks in advance.

SLC, this is a debate forum not a pre-teen conservative chat room. Save the pointless insults for there. Also you should try to understand that anger is often the result when a conservative starts to realize everything he believes is a lie. remember how mad you were when even trump admitted President Obama was born in America?

Here's a pretty good article regarding the lack of clairvoyance in the dossier:

Steele Dossier: ‘Corroborated’ Claims Were Old News | National Review

Regarding Cohen: He did not challenge the election law charges filed against him. Should Trump ever be charged, he almost certainly would challenge it. And he'd probably win.

Precisely. Also, Cohen gave them nothing.

While they make up stuff on Trump, it is congressional Democrats who are an embarrassment to our nation.

dobieg said:

Why did Schiff change his tune to now we should indicate Trump AFTER he leaves office?

And what's up with the PROBABLY ambiguity?


That's all a far cry from what Schiff has been saying the past 2+ years when he was certain he'd get the goods on Trump.

Aww, poor little leftist Schiff didn't get what he wanted, so now he's reinventing himself by spewing something else. What a clown.

Implicated by the word of a confirmed liar who was trying to save his wife's ass from getting it tossed in jail. (That's Mueller's tactic, you know.)

Yeah. You run with that. Hell, I hope some dumbass DA runs with that. Trump will rip them a new one and walk off laughing.
