Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff: ‘We Shouldn’t Give Any Ammunition To The Idea That We Are Racing To Embrace’ Impeachment
Kinda late for that, ain't it?[DAILYWIRE] On Sunday, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) appeared on MSNBC and told Joy Reid that Democrats shouldn’t rush to impeachment. However, man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... he also appeared to presume some kind of guilt on the part of President Trump: You know, I have the unusual experience of having tried an impeachment case in the Senate involving a New Orleans judge a few years ago, and I realize what a high bar it is. And in a Republican Congress, the bar is: can Republican members go back to their districts and make the case that they voted to remove the president because his conduct was so incompatible with office, and it was not simply a way of nullifying the vote because those other people didn't like the result. That's a pretty high bar. And the president goes to all these rallies to essentially make the anti-impeachment argument when he says, "those people who look down on you are trying to steal your great electoral victory." My feeling is that we shouldn't give any ammunition to the idea that we are racing to embrace this before all the facts are in. Let's finish our investigations; let’s see where they lead. Let's find out what the president's conduct has been, as well as those around him, and those in the campaign, and then we can make a decision about what the consequences should be.
