HomeNews WireSen. Graham Rips Schiff A New One After Proving He's the Biggest Hypocrite in Congress Editor January 23, 2020 Following the first day of the impeachment trial on Tuesday, Senator Lindsey Graham unloaded on Adam Schiff over his statements he made to reporters that proved he is a huge hypocrite. Schiff told reporters that if the Senate Republicans don't bow down to the Democrats' wishes and follow the rules that they want then President Trump is guilty no matter what. Here's what Schiff said: If the Senate and the senate leadership … will not allow the calling of witnesses or the presentation of documents, If [Senate Majority Leader Mitch] McConnell makes this the first impeachment trial in history without witnesses or documents, it will not prove the president innocent. It will merely prove the Senate guilty of working with the president to obstruct the truth from coming out, so I do think that by structuring the trial this way, it furthers our case that what’s going on here really is a cover-up of evidence to the American people. McConnell has said that the resolution outlining the rules of impeachment are fair, and that is true, they are fair. They are the same rules that were used during the impeachment trial of former President Bill Clinton. However, Schiff says that unless Republicans allow new evidence and new witnesses that the process is unfair and President Trump by default is guilty. That's not how any of this works. What an idiot! Nobody told the House of Representatives to rush through the inquiry and impeach the President so quickly. In fact, it was the exact opposite. Even Democrats warned them of flying through the process. It’s not the Senate’s job to investigate they are the court. The time for investigation is done. As far as "fairness" goes, Sen. Lindsey Graham said this about Schiff's speech: Quite frankly, having Adam Schiff lecture the Senate about fairness and due process is like listening to an arsonist talk about fire prevention. — Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) January 21, 2020 He wasn't the only one to seize the moment either… 🚨 DEMOCRAT HYPOCRISY ALERT Adam Schiff is in the Senate calling for fairness and more witnesses. Remember → This is the same Schiff who denied Republican requests for witnesses while running his rigged impeachment scam behind closed doors in the House. Unbelievable. — Steve Scalise (@SteveScalise) January 21, 2020 .@SpeakerPelosi & House Democrats’ assault on the Constitution ENDS TODAY. Now the American people will see the Senate respect due process and provide @realDonaldTrump a fair trial.#impeachment #SenateImpeachmentTrial #senate #respectdueprocess pic.twitter.com/TV9lTxM4xV — Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) January 21, 2020 You know what they say… Nothing says “solemn” and “somber” like fist bumps and signing celebrations with souvenir pens. It’s no secret → Dems are giddy about impeaching @realDonaldTrump. Their actions speak louder than their words. WATCH: pic.twitter.com/miVcSwQwle — Steve Scalise (@SteveScalise) January 21, 2020
