The Democratic face of Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial watched the second trial unfold the same way much of America did — glued to the TV and confined to his home as the pandemic rages.
That’s not to say Rep. Adam Schiff wasn't involved in the past week’s trial, which ended Saturday in acquittal. Schiff had offered one-on-one advice to his party’s new crop of impeachment managers if they asked. And as a surrogate dispatched by the speaker’s office, the Californian frequently appeared on TV to provide commentary, like a former Super Bowl quarterback reflecting on this year’s big game.
“He was on the vanguard in so many ways during the most challenging and darkening periods of the Trump era,” said Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), who grew close to Schiff while both served as impeachment managers last year. Despite vaulting to national prominence over the last few years, Crow said, Schiff is “not somebody that tells people what they should do.”
Which makes Schiff’s current moment of calm amid chaos all the more unexpected. Schiff has clearly started to weigh what he should do next, turning his gaze away from the House to privately lobby for the attorney general spot about to open up in California. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, an ally, has lent some muscle to Schiff’s campaign — personally calling Gov. Gavin Newsom to recommend Schiff.

But while Schiff is in the mix of candidates, he’s far from a lock for the job. After leading the charge against Trump as the House Intelligence Committee’s top Democrat and then serving as lead prosecutor for the former president’s first trial, Schiff now finds himself on the sidelines. And his flirtation with returning home to California again raises the inevitable question of whether younger, ambitious House Democrats have a concrete ceiling in a caucus long ruled by the same leadership.
Schiff declined to be interviewed for this story, but there’s hardly a mystery surrounding his play for the attorney general job. He has always telegraphed that he has higher aspirations beyond his current station in the House, as a close confidant to the speaker and chair of a powerful committee. The question no one in Washington can answer: What is Schiff’s endgame?
I don't believe that Schiff was "glued to the TV and confined to his home as the pandemic rages."
I think they are lying low(er).
I wonder if Schiff will testify on his buddy Ed Buck’s behalf when he goes on trial for being a serial killer
I hope it will include a life behind bars.
Watch him win the recall election in CA.
Prison seems like an appropriate option for Schiff.

A rush effort to help Newsom from recall?
Why go to work when you can send a hologram?

Schiff should be Ed Buck’s cell mate.
They’d both probably relish that.

“The dirt on Trump I have seen is really eye opening.”
(Except for the fact it did not exist.)
He should ponder an eternity in Hell, and Repent.
They’ve been lying lower alright. Kinda like a worm.
Maybe Ticonderoga is hiring.
That would be really NICE.
I expect to see him advertising adult diapers.
#13. Meanwhile, Happy Dale Sanitarium renewed their offer to house him for free for the rest of his life. He would be their best advertise for their services.
Meanwhile the Malkots of Star Trek want him to come back home!
Some of these Trump crazed rats will be like the Spaniard in The Princess Bride after he kills the 6 fingered man, no purpose in life now that President Trump is gone.
