Lead House Manager Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said he feels threatened by President Trump over a tweet posted Sunday saying of Schiff that he “has not paid the price, yet, for what he has done to our Country.” Schiff made the comment on NBC’s Meet the Press where he was interviewed by host Chuck Todd. Schiff accused Trump of being “wrathful and vindictive” in explaining why he feels threatened by Trump over a tweet.

“Shifty Adam Schiff is a CORRUPT POLITICIAN, and probably a very sick man. He has not paid the price, yet, for what he has done to our Country!”

Todd asked Schiff about his monumental gaffe Friday night during the impeachment trial when he alienated persuadable Republican senators by repeating an anonymous CBS report that a Trump “confidante” had relayed a threat that senators voting against Trump in the trial would ‘have their heads on pikes’.

Schiff was the one who brought up the tweet, not Todd. It should be noted that Schiff won his seat in 2000 (twenty years ago) when he was supported by the Clinton machine to exact revenge on Clinton impeachment House Manager Rep. James Rogan (R-CA) and make Rogan pay the price for impeaching President Bill Clinton.
