What is your impression of Adam Schiff? Something inside of me says he will get Trump.

One way or another. I don't know the best way, but if there is a way, he will find it. It won't be pretty, but I hope it works. Also, I do think Adam knows what is at stake during the hearings. We will see. Also, I respect him greatly. The hearings are fair and honest.

when I read what some "Trumpsters" are saying about him. How anybody can think of him as anything but a superb model of what a true representative in a democracy should look like is totally beyond reason.
And yes, I hope he nails IQ45's fat a$$ to a prison cell!

Even though many of them are worst off today, they don't have the brains to understand why so what they say, at least to me, is irrelevant.

members are true patriots, who love this country enough to put up a fight for it. Unlike the corrupt, Russian pawns on the gop side. The democratic politicians knew this would not be easy, but they are in it for the long haul, exposing the gop for their true colors. I have nothing but respect for them, and wish them well in this hard fought action.

Meaning Schiff is a person of integrity and honor. He is NOT the guy you should tangle with, because he will keep punching, and stay within the law while doing so.

I love this guy.

So he knows how to pace himself. The order of events is also critical, and I think he must be a genius in setting the order of witnesses to have maximum impact.

Adam Schiff is a great blessing to us all. Such poise and command he showed as the Intel Committee Chairman. Real leadership. Calm and steady. I could see him as Attorney General in the next Democratic administration.

And he was the one who knew how to question Mueller in closing questions at his July testimony to clarify the message of the report. People said Mueller was confused; I differ. I think people were confused by Mueller. But not Mr. Schiff!

and, I think he has a lot more on Trump than what's come out in the impeachment hearings, but he's also struggling with how to get at least a few sane Republicans to turn against Trump so Dems can label it as a bipartisan impeachment.

Not being ageist, but from our earlier experience with the Judiciary chairman I think he is not particularly savvy when it comes to media strategy and communicating the case. Or maybe he wasn't well earlier in the year.

Schiff is so clear. So in command.

Will Judiciary have their own prosecutor now? Is Goldman done when the case is handed over?

So I hope that is resolved.

(and got chastised) and Schiff admitted himself he wasn't for it until Ukraine. This is against every fiber of my being that he thought trump didn't already commit impeachable offenses. that said, we have what we have.
