Adam Schiff Targets Trump
Democrat Representative Adam Schiff has once again renewed his attacks on former President Donald Trump and is calling on the Justice Department to investigate Trump for “violating federal laws” after the presidential election.
Schiff’s outrageous comments came after CBS‘ Margaret Brennan asked him, “Before I let you go, I want to ask about the January six committee. There was a development this week, a court filing claiming there is now evidence that President Trump broke the law in his efforts to overturn the election in 2020. Do you think that the attorney general is moving fast enough with his enforcement?”
Schiff responded, “What we made clear in our filing to the court is we believe there’s a good faith basis to conclude that the former president and his campaign may have violated any number of federal laws, including obstructing an official proceeding, the joint session, and defrauding the American people. And I do think that the Justice Department ought to be looking at these issues and ought to be investigating in particular just to give one very graphic example the former president on the phone with the secretary of state in Georgia demanding that he find 11,780 votes that didn’t exist, but the precise number he would need to overtake President Biden. I think if anyone else had engaged in that conversation, they would be under investigation and it should be no different for the former president. So I think the department is diligently pursuing those who attack the Capitol that day. But there were multiple lines of effort to overturn the election that may have violated the law, which also should be investigated.”
Democrats like Schiff and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi know that Donald Trump will likely run again in 2024 and they want to figure out a way to prevent him from running again because he will likely win.
