Among President Trump’s long list of perceived political enemies, one lawmaker has drawn outsize scrutiny from the administration: Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).
Trump has routinely fixated on the California senator, who investigated Russia’s 2016 election interference and served as the lead manager on Trump’s first impeachment.
Schiff was also a member of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, laying blame for the riot with Trump.
Since taking office for the second time, Trump has not just repeatedly bashed Schiff but tapped his powers to go after his adversary.
The administration has launched a probe into the lawmaker, suggesting he wrongly obtained more favorable lending conditions for his Washington-area home — a claim the lawmaker denies.
The Justice Department has also released to Congress other documents the administration says back Trump’s claims that Schiff is a leaker. Schiff has denied any improper release of classified information, while his team has said it’s an accusation from one disgruntled former employee.
Schiff appears to realize he may be in for a long-term battle.
Last month he created a legal defense fund as he prepares to fight the investigation into his Maryland home.
“It’s clear that Donald Trump and his MAGA allies will continue weaponizing the justice process to attack Senator Schiff for holding this corrupt administration accountable,” Marisol Samayoa, a spokesperson for Schiff, said in a statement.
“This fund will ensure he can fight back against these baseless smears while continuing to do his job.”
To Democrats, the reason for focusing on Schiff is obvious and alarming.
“There’s probably no one they hate more than Adam Schiff – and personally, just genuinely hate,” said Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.), who was on the House Intelligence Committee as Schiff, then the top Democrat on the panel, was investigating_Trump.

Something the leftist hypocrites believe just started with the GOP this year.
They'd be too honest and fair themselves to use vicious lawfare to destroy the candidate of the other party like Third World types do. /S
The MockingBird press has been using ‘rival’ ‘enemey’ and ‘targeting’ when speaking of virtally any action undertaken by President Trump. Yet during the years of persecuting, slandering, libeling and prosecuting Trump, they’ve never used those terms for those attacking Trump, our country, and our Constitution.
Adam Schiff is a VICTIM of Trump’s vindictive behavior, and is using the fedgov as a weapon against Schiff! The fedgov has never been used as a weapon before!!
Do I need /s??
"Reduce, reuse, recycle" must apply to news stories too. Some of us have better memories than that.
The author’s last name is perfect.
I caught that too.

<><>investigated Russia’s 2016 election interference
<><>served as the lead manager on Trump’s first impeachment.
<><>was a member of the House committee investigating Jan. 6 ,
<><>Schiff laid the blame on Trump.
He must be on some kind of wild drugs. He always looks high.
No mention in the article about the House of Representatives censuring Schiff only two years ago.
A pre-17th Amendment sort of Senate would deny a seat to the loathsome Schiff.
Is there any crime that pencil-neck geek can be charged with, for wasting the nation’s time and money with the Russia collusion hoax for two and a half years?
LOL, Adam Schiff readies for battle.
What did he do, corner the market on jars of Vaseline? I always thought he was slimey enough. But then again, “something” makes his eyes bug out like that.
Poor Adam, NOT!!
This is worthy of an SNL skit. Adam Schiff prepares for war. HAYAAA! ATTA! HWAH! Tai Kwon Do kata executed. HYAAAAAAAAAAA! Ow. It looks so easy when they break those boards. owwwwww....
Tom Shillue will have to brush up on his impersonations, with Brandon gone.
How wonderfully vague, Rebecca Beitsch.
Are you referring to the 2 homes he listed as his PRIMARY residence thereby securing lower interest rates and evading property taxes, Rebecca Beitsch?
The stench of fear in the democrat camp is so strong it shows up on radar!

Not really. The Justice department is going after a law breaker that was head of a conspiracy and almost a coup d'état. I loath The Hill as they are part of the propaganda machine for the left. However, I do read their articles of interest so I will know my enemy.
Did I mention that "I loath The Hill?"
If I had to choose ONE guy to get, it would be him or Comey.
