Adam Schiff Kicks Sand In The Eye Of Bully Trump By Vowing To Expose This White House
House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) stood up to Trumps bullying, refused to apologize, and vowed to investigate the president.
Schiff said on CNNs State of The Union, I dont regret calling out this president for what I consider deeply unethical and improper conduct, not a bit, and I think that the moment that we start to think that we should back away from exposing this kind of malfeasance and corruption is a dangerous point. Now, Jake, youve asked the question many times is there a risk of doing too much oversight? There is a risk when you have an immoral president. A president lacking in basic character, who violates the norms of office, there is a risk of doing too little oversight, so I make no apologies for that, and Im going to continue holding this administration accountable.

Adam Schiff Is Going To Investigate Trump
The president and his White House were desperate to get rid of Rep. Schiff as Intelligence Committee Chairman and it is clear why. Adam Schiff isnt distracted by Trumps games and insults. He doesnt care about the tweets or the statements the president makes at his rallies. Rep. Schiff has a job to do, and that is to conduct oversight into the most ethically devoid administration since Nixon.

Adam Schiff cant be bullied. He appears to be a person of iron will and laser sharp focus, and he is locked in on Donald Trump.

(16,786 posts)The fact that Adam Schiff is not backing down will surely continue to ruffle Trump's thin skin.
That is rubbing off on Maxine Waters, Illijah Cummings, and more. To focus on lack of character and Corruption will irk Trump and Republicans more.

(4,007 posts)Just watch today's performance by lawyer Jay Sekulow on "The View" and you'll see why Trump is losing the battle to keep secrets while Schiff is winning. Sekulow was, unlike before, screaming out his replies in a most unlawyerly like way,
One knows who is losing by the tone and tenor of the replier.

(35,294 posts)Schiff has far more information than we do and that knowledge, I suspect, fuels his righteous indignation and spurs the vow to continue pursuing Trump and his criminal enablers.

"Since" Nixon..? Suggesting Nixon was um.. somehow worse than Cheetolini? seriously?
No, Nixon was a fucking boy scout compared to this treasonous piece of human flotsam.
Nixon didn't sell out to the Russians.
Nixon didn't overrule security professionals and give top security clearance to his family.
Nixon didn't shut down the government for 35 days over a racist wet dream.
Nixon was racist, true, but at least he had the intelligence not to call KKK-wannabees "very fine people".
The list goes on..

(2,270 posts)I was thinking the exact same thought. All a "question" like that does is give the repuglicans ammunition for their persecution complexes and to muddy otherwise clear waters.

The media already accepts this pResident as normal. That is our larger problem. tRump is just a symptom.
