Lead House impeachment manager Adam Schiff dismissed the GOP hubbub over his “head on a pike” remarks as a mere distraction from President Trump’s impeachable conduct. “Look, that's what you do ... when your client is guilty,” Schiff said Saturday after backlash from Republicans over his impeachment trial closing speech Friday. The California Democrat caught plenty of heat for bringing up CBS News' reporting that GOP senators were warned “your head will be on a pike” if you vote against Trump on the articles of impeachment. But the bad reaction from the GOP senators forced him to quickly recalibrate, look down at his notes and start reading. “If the worst they can point to is that I referred to a published report by CBS, that's pretty thin gruel.”Fox News’ Sally Persons and Jason Donner contributed to this report.
