When NBC News buckled under and fired Ronna McDaniel, some said the network had hired plenty of Republicans, like Michael Steele and Nicolle Wallace. Wallace had on as a guest this week Rep. Adam Schiff, who claimed that Donald Trump laid the pathway to the January 6 insurrection months in advance by trying to spread distrust in the electoral system. Never mind that Trump was investigated his entire term for colluding with the Russians to steal the election from Hillary Clinton. Schiff even had concrete evidence, which he has not produced to this day.
But the 2020 election … CBS News' Major Garrett wrote a book on it calling the 2020 election “the greatest success of American democracy in history.” But now Schiff is claiming that Trump is already trying to delegitimize the 2024 election by spreading lies.
Donald Trump was willing to incite a violent insurrection to overturn the last election.

You can only imagine the lengths he would go — if he felt that gaining office was the only way to stay out of jail. pic.twitter.com/OFUNUOXPt1
Can we get a @CommunityNotes on this please?

Trump never incited an Insurrection nor has he been found guilty of having done so.
@CommunityNotes Donald Trump has not been charged with or convicted of inciting violence in connection with the events of January 6th.

It's all he knows how to do.
Imagine if you were this guy who was censured for falsifying an investigation during an election. ↓ Imagine the lengths you would go to do it again. pic.twitter.com/hZu0BmzhIN

You've lied about everything, Pencil Neck.

You mean you trying to be a senator to stay out of jail. Can’t wait to see you perp walked. Traitor.

The only reason you oppose President Trump so much is that you are fearful of being prosecuted for the crimes you have committed. Perjury, falsifying federal documents, obstructing justice and treason to name a few!

As we've reported, Schiff has said that he takes Trump's threat to throw him in jail very seriously.
The 2016 election was riddled with Russian interference. The 2020 election was the high point of democracy. But now they're worried again that 2024 is going to be rigged in Trump's favor. Their desperation is delicious.
