Why Democrats are sure Adam Schiff is the perfect person to take on Trump
NBC News ^ | October 14, 2019 | Jonathan Allen

The chairman of the House Intel committee, who is leading the impeachment inquiry, couldn't be more different than his prey.

No one understands the political perils of impeaching a president quite like Rep. Adam Schiff.

In 2000, he won a House seat centered in the north Los Angeles suburbs of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena by defeating Republican incumbent James Rogan, a colorful and camera-loving former prosecutor who had become nationally prominent as a House manager of President Bill Clinton's impeachment.

While Schiff concentrated on district-specific issues, Rogan's high profile in going after Clinton made it easier to portray him as neglectful of his constituents' priorities, and it turned the contest into such a touchstone that donors from across the country poured record sums into the candidates' coffers. As a result, Schiff was able to subtly take advantage of voters' distaste for the Clinton impeachment without the risk inherent in making it the focus of his campaign.

"Rogan never really was able to escape any of that," said Bill Carrick, a consultant who was tapped by national Democrats to guide soft-money spending in western states that year. "He was sort of trapped in that impeachment thing. And Adam ran a good campaign."

That's right. He lies at the drop of a hat.

He colludes with what he thought were Ukrainians.

He's funded by MoveOn.org

He keeps moving the goalposts of whatever he's investigating - changing the charges to keep up with the times.

Oh, he's the complete opposite of Trump alright.

NBC portrays Schiff as if he is something other than a corrupt unbalanced loon. It’s gaslighting. We know he’s a nutcase. He’s also dishonest and corrupt.

Reminder: James Woods in one of his last Tweets before leaving Twitter over their censorship completely nuked Schiff:

What's really amusing is, they're laying out Schiff's weakness to a challenger by describing the presumably impeachment-absorbed Republican that he first defeated to win election in 2000. Word for word, substitute Schiff for Rogan:

In 2020, he won a House seat centered in the north Los Angeles suburbs of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena by defeating Democrat incumbent Adam Schiff, a colorful and camera-loving former prosecutor who had become nationally prominent as a House manager of President Donald Trump's impeachment.

While his challenger concentrated on district-specific issues, Schiff's high profile in going after Trump made it easier to portray him as neglectful of his constituents' priorities, and it turned the contest into such a touchstone that donors from across the country poured record sums into the candidates' coffers. As a result, his challenger was able to subtly take advantage of voters' distaste for the Trump impeachment without the risk inherent in making it the focus of his campaign.

"Schiff never really was able to escape any of that," said some consultant who was tapped by national Republicans to guide soft-money spending in western states that year. "Schiff was sort of trapped in that impeachment thing. And his challenger ran a good campaign."

Schiffstain wasn’t fit to hold Jim Rogan’s jock strap. One of the best California Congressmembers in the past 50 years.

Schiff is a CIA agent. As in, a current CIA agent.

A Soros puppet?

How many of the Ukrainian backed by Biden are funded by Soros?

How many of the Ukrainians now working with Trump to clean up the corruption in Ukraine are targeting Soros ?
