Adam Schiff Defends Joe Biden While Presenting Case for Impeaching Trump

‘The Vice President acted in accordance with U.S. official policy’

EXCERPT:

SCHIFF: "The first sham investigation that President Trump desired was into former Vice President Joe Biden, who had sought the removal of a corrupt Ukrainian prosecutor during the previous U.S. Administration. The Vice President acted in accordance with U.S. official policy at time, and was supported, unanimously, by our European allies and key global financial institutions, such as the International Monetary Fund, that shared the concern over corruption. Despite this fact, during the course of this scheme, President Trump and his agents pressed the Ukrainian president to announce an investigation into the false claim that Vice President Biden wanted the corrupt prosecutor removed from power in order to stop an investigation into Burisma Holdings, a company on whose board Biden's son Hunter sat. This allegation is simply untrue and it has been widely debunked by Ukrainian and American experts alike. That reality mattered not to President Trump. To him, the value in promoting a negative tale about former Vice President Biden, true or false, was its usefulness to his reelection campaign. It was a smear tactic against the political opponent that President Trump apparently feared.”
