Adam Schiff spent years lying about Russian collusion evidence that never existed.
He nearly destroyed Trump's first term with a hoax funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign.
And now Adam Schiff revealed his diabolical plan to impeach Trump again.
Schiff screams "war crimes" over dead cartel members
California Senator Adam Schiff appeared on NBC's Meet the Press and accused President Trump of "extrajudicial killing" for military strikes against drug cartel boats in international waters.
Host Kristen Welker asked if the boat strikes were legal.
"No, I don't. They're unlawful. They're unconstitutional. And killing two people who are shipwrecked at sea is also morally repugnant," Schiff stated.¹
Let that sink in. Adam Schiff — the man who fabricated evidence to impeach Trump — now lectures everyone about the law.
The Trump administration designated major drug cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, giving the military authority to strike them anywhere in the world.
These cartels kill over 100,000 Americans every year with fentanyl. That's more than died on 9/11. Every single year.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorized strikes on boats carrying that poison toward American shores after intelligence confirmed cartel operations.
Schiff demanded the Pentagon release video of one strike near Trinidad where two cartel members died.
"Let the American people see two people standing on a capsized boat or sitting on a capsized boat and deliberately killed, and decide for themselves whether they're proud of what the country is doing," Schiff said.¹
You know what the American people are proud of? Dead cartel members and destroyed fentanyl shipments.
Democrats launched coordinated smear before facts came out
The controversy centers on that September 2 strike near Trinidad where two cartel operatives reportedly clung to their wrecked boat after the initial hit and were killed by a later missile.²
Democrats screamed "war crimes" immediately. Before all the facts. Before any investigation.
Defense Secretary Hegseth revealed at a Cabinet meeting what actually happened. He approved and watched the initial strike but never saw any survivors through flames and smoke — what the military calls "the fog of war."²
The missile strike that killed the two men happened an hour later after Hegseth had left for another meeting.
Admiral Mitch Bradley, head of Special Operations Command, ordered those missiles to sink the flaming vessel and destroy its drug cargo. Entirely within his authority.²
But Democrats didn't wait for facts.
Billboards went up outside Southern Command telling troops not to participate. Members of Congress published videos telling military personnel to refuse orders. Former military lawyers accused Hegseth of "war crimes, murder, or both."²
Three RINO Senators — Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and Mitch McConnell who voted against confirming Hegseth — joined the pile-on, giving Democrats bipartisan cover.
Left-wing media ran wall-to-wall coverage showing sympathy for dead cartel members.
This level of coordination doesn't happen by accident. A smear campaign this broad has to be planned, organized, and funded.²
And now here comes Adam Schiff with the legal framework for impeachment.
Schiff building impeachment case for 2026
Schiff accused Trump of conducting an "unauthorized campaign of extrajudicial killing" that violated the Constitution.¹
"These boats are not invading the United States in an armed assault. There are thousands of miles away," Schiff argued.¹
He even complained that designating cartels as terrorist organizations "doesn't confer on a president the ability to kill them at sea."¹
That's exactly what the designation does. That's the entire point. But Schiff knows that.
He's not making a legal argument. He's building an impeachment case.
Schiff was the ringleader of Trump's first impeachment over Russian collusion that turned out to be a complete fabrication.
He spent years on television claiming he had seen "evidence" of Trump-Russia conspiracy that never existed.
Now he's running the same playbook with the boat strikes.
If Democrats take back the House in the 2026 midterms, Schiff's got his impeachment charges ready.
They'll haul Hegseth before Congress and demand he explain why the Pentagon targeted "shipwrecked" cartel members.
Never mind that these were armed narco-terrorists transporting poison that kills 100,000 Americans annually.
Never mind that the strikes are legal under the Authorization for Use of Military Force and the Foreign Terrorist Organization designation.
Facts didn't matter during the Russian collusion hoax. They won't matter for impeachment 2.0 either.
Trump won't apologize for killing terrorists
The Trump administration isn't backing down.
These strikes have disrupted cartel operations and sent a message that the days of operating with impunity are over.
President Trump designated cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations specifically so the military could strike them anywhere, anytime — just like we did to ISIS and al-Qaeda.
The cartels have killed more Americans than al-Qaeda, ISIS, and the Taliban combined. They deserve the same treatment.
Schiff can cry all he wants about "extrajudicial killing." Americans see dead cartel members and fewer drugs reaching our streets.
Voters just handed Trump a mandate to secure the border and destroy the cartels. They're not going to tolerate Democrats protecting narco-terrorists while pretending to care about the rule of law.
Schiff learned nothing from the Russian collusion hoax that destroyed his credibility. He's making the same mistake again — lying about evidence, coordinating media attacks, setting up impeachment charges based on fabricated outrage.
Americans remember what Schiff did during the first impeachment. They watched him lie on television for years about evidence he never had.
If Schiff wants to defend drug cartels and impeach Trump for killing terrorists, voters will have something to say about that in 2026.
