http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/adam-schiff-to-maher-gop-lining-their-pockets-before-trumps-wheels-come-completely-off-the-wagon/After a week of stunning revelations, the firing of FBI Director James Comey and then the ever-shifting rationale offered by Trump surrogates, which then got bowled over by Trump himself in an interview with Lester Holt, Maher asked Schiff when the GOP is going to start breaking with the president.
After showing a rowdy town hall in which a constituent shouted at a Republican House member to decide to be an American and not a politician, Maher asked Schiff, How can they govern if thats whats brewing out in America? What are the Republicans saying to each other behind closed doors? They must be sh*tting their pants.
Schiff laughed, but then said, They all want something from this president before the wheels come completely off the wagon. They want their tax cuts, they want their regulatory repeal of all the mining regulations, etc. And then theyll find their spine.

(45,806 posts)when have we elected a member of the house to the Presidency? Maybe, after the Con got elected, maybe that doesn't matter.

(13,859 posts)We need an independent investigation. This is the whole ball of wax of the GOP's way of taking over the government. I would like to see Adam Schiff, CA Congressman our next President. We need more like him to say what facts of the matter is. He has a moral code of fairness and truth. Just my opinion.
