| [NationalReview] Adam Schiff’s impeachment inquiry is incoherent. Given the impossibility of a senatorial conviction, the only strategy is to taint the president with the brand of impeachment and weaken him in the 2020 election. Yet Schiff seems to have no sense that the worm has already turned. Far from tormenting Trump and the Republicans by a long-drawn-out Schiff extravaganza, Trump’s supporters are beginning to feel that the longer the farce, the better the optics. Polls show that Trump is almost back to where he was in popularity when Schiff unleashed his late-September Ukrainian caper. And the point, after all, was again to drive down Trump’s popularity and render him politically inert. From the day Schiff reemerged after his licking his wounds in hibernation, following the Mueller implosion, his efforts have insidiously gone downhill. Once Trump released the transcript of his July 25th call with Ukrainian president Zelensky, the nation learned that the Schiff’s gold-standard whistleblower was no such thing. Instead, he seems a rank partisan and sloppy leaker whose machinations and background are already boomeranging back on those who put him up to this present circus. |

| #5 Some of the more lucid Democrats, if there are any (and I know that's a big if), might be concerned that if the Schiff Show goes to the Senate it's likely to blow the lid off of a whole lot of things the Democrats would prefer to keep covered. MSM won't be able to keep it all hidden. Their precious Baraq might be exposed. Biden's chances in 2020 have already been dashed and he was the only candidate they had who wasn't far and away over the rainbow. Vindman's career will never recover. How much more damage are they willing to sustain? Or are they all too far gone to understand what they're doing to themselves? |
