Amid Threats From Trump, Adam Schiff Forms Legal Defense Fund
NY Times ^ | 8/19/25 | Shane Goldmacher

Posted on 08/19/2025 6:07:13 PM PDT by Libloather

Senator Adam Schiff of California, one of the Democratic Party’s leading antagonists of President Trump, has formed a new legal defense fund in recent days as Mr. Trump threatens him with federal investigations.

As a member of the U.S. House, Mr. Schiff led congressional inquiries into Mr. Trump during his first term in the White House. He served as the lead impeachment manager in Mr. Trump’s first impeachment and then on the committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.

Joseph R. Biden Jr., before he left office, issued pre-emptive pardons to the members of that committee in an effort to insulate them from potential actions by the incoming Trump administration. Mr. Schiff said at the time that he did not want such a pardon, and called them “unwise” because they established a poor precedent for the rule of law.

Mr. Trump has publicly called for his administration to investigate Mr. Schiff, including in recent remarks at the Kennedy Center, when he used a derogatory nickname to describe Mr. Schiff before addressing his attorney general, Pam Bondi.

“I’m looking at Pam because I hope something’s going to be done about it,” Mr. Trump said on Aug. 13, adding of the first-term investigation into his campaign's ties to Russia: “These people put our country at great danger. And Adam Schiff, it was all made up. It was a hoax.”

The New York Times previously reported that Ms. Bondi had appointed Ed Martin, the former interim U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., as a special prosecutor to supervise an investigation into another Trump antagonist, the New York Attorney General Letitia James. Mr. Martin is also investigating the real estate transactions of Mr. Schiff, The Times reported.

Don’t worry, Adam.

If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.

There was no pardon for treason.

Having received and accepted a pardon, Shiffer may not plead the 5th.

I guess he can’t bring himself to spend any of the huge sum of money he has stolen from the US taxpayers.

I keep hoping that these President Autopen pardons will be rescinded. The issue seems to have died down.

The New York Times was the chief beneficiary of Schiff’s phony leaks.

They’re defending themselves.
