Schiff pushes ballot box given ‘no sign’ impeachment can remove Trump

SAN FRANCISCO — House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff told a revved up crowd of fellow California Democrats late Saturday that impeaching Trump shows “no sign” of working given that the Senate won’t convict, saying voting Trump out on Election Day is the better option.

“Now I know that many of you would like to see us impeach this president, and that may become necessary. He seems to be doing everything in his power to make it so,” Schiff told the sold-out dinner held as part of the California Democratic Convention in San Francisco. “But let us not lose sight as we debate the merits of impeachment that, unless the GOP leadership in the Senate finds a backbone it shows no sign of possessing, there is going to be only one way to end this nightmare and to send Mr. Trump packing, and that is to vote the bums out of office — all of them, including the one at 1600 Pennsylvania,” he added.
