VIDEO: Schiff Has Trump Mental Breakdown On House Floor
Schiff is frothing at the mouth.
During a recent House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) delivered a dramatic statement regarding former President Trump’s conviction, repeating the word “guilty” 34 times, symbolizing each of Trump’s felony counts in the Manhattan hush money case.
This statement was made at the outset of Schiff’s questioning during a session focused on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s (D) investigation into Trump’s alleged hush money payments during the 2016 election. Recognized by Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Schiff began by quoting the jury’s unanimous verdict in the trial.
Schiff then senselessly repeated the word ‘Guilty’ a shocking 34 times, emphasizing the consistency of the jury’s decision on all counts.

Late last month, Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. These charges stemmed from reimbursements to Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, for a $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. The payment was allegedly intended to keep Daniels silent about an affair with Trump, an accusation Trump has consistently denied.
The Republican response to the trial and subsequent conviction was swift, denouncing the proceedings as fundamentally unfair and politically motivated. The GOP-led committee highlighted these sentiments in a statement, arguing that Bragg’s indictment of Trump could pave the way for future politically driven prosecutions of federal officials by state and local prosecutors.
Schiff, who is currently running for the Senate seat vacated by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), countered these claims. He noted that Republicans did not challenge Trump’s actual guilt, instead focusing on the notion that the former president should not have been prosecuted or suggesting that the charges were politically motivated.
“My Republican colleagues don’t really contest Donald Trump’s guilt; this is the fascinating thing,” Schiff remarked. “Their argument is essentially he should have never been prosecuted, or they falsely claim it was a political prosecution, or they falsely claim it should have been a misdemeanor, not a felony.”
He further criticized the Republican stance, suggesting that they were tacitly endorsing Trump’s actions by continuing to support him despite the conviction. “What they’re really saying is they’re more than comfortable electing — nominating and electing as the president of the United States — someone making hush money payments to a porn star,” Schiff asserted.
Concluding his remarks, Schiff added, “The party, formerly of the moral majority, is now, I suppose, trying to fashion some kind of immoral majority to reinstate Donald Trump as president.”
The hearing included testimonies from Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, Federal Election Commissioner James “Trey” Trainor III, attorney Elizabeth Price Foley, and former U.S. ambassador to the Czech Republic, Norman Eisen.
