Schiff says impeachment worth it even if Trump is not removed
The Hill ^ | 11 12 2019 | Zack Budryk

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told NPR that the impeachment inquiry would be worth it regardless of whether President Trump is successfully removed from office.

"If [impeachment] deters further presidential misconduct, then it may provide some remedy, even in the absence of a conviction in the Senate,” Schiff told NPR’s Steve Inskeep in an interview scheduled to air Wednesday.

"I don't think any decision has been made on the ultimate question about whether articles of impeachment should be brought. That will be the purpose of these hearings and the subsequent work done in the Judiciary Committee,” Schiff said.

“But on the basis of what the witnesses have had to say so far, there are any number of potentially impeachable offenses, including bribery, including high crimes and misdemeanors,” he added. “The basic allegations against the president are that he sought foreign interference in a U.S. election, that he conditioned official acts on the performance of these political favors.”

I didn’t think Schiff could blink. He looks like he had a superglue accident.
