WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Adam Schiff stood on the Senate floor almost five years ago as a House impeachment manager and made a passionate case that Donald Trump should be removed from office for abusing the power of the presidency. “If right doesn’t matter, we’re lost,” he told the senators, his voice cracking at one point.

The Republican-led Senate wasn’t convinced, and senators voted to acquit Trump on the Democratic-led impeachment charges over his dealings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump would survive a second impeachment a year later after his supporters stormed the Capitol and tried to overturn his defeat.

Now Trump is headed back to the White House, politically stronger than ever and with a firm hold over what will be a unified Republican Congress. And Schiff, one of Trump’s biggest foils, was sworn into the Senate on Monday as part of a Democratic caucus that is...

As California’s newest senator, Schiff says he’s not going to shy away from familiar territory — opposing Trump when he feels it necessary. But he’s also hoping to be known for bipartisanship, as well, after campaigning in Republican areas of his state and working to learn more about rural issues that weren’t in his portfolio in his urban Los Angeles House district.

“I think being there and letting folks get to know me, kick the tires a bit, helps overcome some of the sort of Fox News stereotypes,” Schiff said of the conservative news channel’s focus on him as he challenged Trump in his first term.

So, now that “they” are a senator, will “they” be 3X as useless as “they” were as a rep?

You were and always will be a piece of garbage.

I WISH they were just useless!

They are dangerous and damaging.

Not as much in the minority but still...an illness under control is still an illness.

The most despicable Senator in the Senate. A tough contest to win but that POS is the worst of the worst. He is proof of how corrupt California voting has become.

“If right doesn’t matter, we’re lost,”

And if right really mattered, schiff would’ve been censured, sued and removed from his position after lying about everything!!

This what happens when all us conservative native Californians leave in disgust over what Liberals turned the once beautiful state into.
When Jerry Brown threw his little fit over prop 13 that cut it for me. I made plans and escaped.
Consequently so many of us left, that now the City by the bay is a literal Schiff hole.
If they keep electing Schiff and his Ilk it will merely keep going down hill.

It’s inconceivable to me that a majority of voters would vote for this inexecrable creature.

Trump could take actions through the DOJ that would put Schiff and Cheney in prison if he wanted to. Sadly he won’t do it. It seems that it is always for the good of the nation for Politicians to walk free and continue their corruption. I hope that precedent can be broken. But I am not counting on it.
