Shady Schiff Goes Into Overdrive-> Introduces Bill to Make it Difficult For Trump to Grant Pardons in Russia Witch Hunt


Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA)

House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff reintroduced legislation on Thursday targeting President Trump’s pardons.

Schiff introduced the Abuse of the Pardon Prevention Act which would alert Congress if the President were to pardon anyone connected to the Russia investigation or any probe where he or his family is involved.

Schiff introduced the same legislation last year when the Democrats were in the minority, but he’s renewing the push as Mueller’s witch hunt winds down.

If the law passes, it would allow Congress to review evidence against the person receiving the presidential pardon.

“The President has a broad power to confer pardons, but not when they are designed to insulate himself, his family and his associates from criminal investigation. Such an abuse of the pardon power would amount to obstruction of justice and is not countenanced by the constitution,” Schiff said in a statement.

Schiff took the fight to his Twitter account to get the liberal lemmings riled up.

“Presidents can use a pardon to rectify an injustice. They may not use it to obstruct justice. I just introduced legislation to ensure that if the pardon power is abused to coverup crimes involving any President, his/her family or associates, Congress finds out,”Schiff said in a tweet.
