Adam Schiff is not new to fighting Russian spys:

Last edited Tue Dec 3, 2019, 06:33 PM - Edit history (1)

"From 1987 to 1993, he was an Assistant United States Attorney in the Office of the United States Attorney for the Central District of California. While in this position, Schiff came to public attention when he prosecuted the case against Richard Miller, a former FBI agent who was convicted of spying for the Soviet Union."

Please note that this isn't last week or last month. This is 25 years ago. Schiff has seen this before. Also note that the spy was..."convicted".

In order to convict the "spy" Schiff had to do a whole lot of research on this Soviet - spy relationship, and how it works, and how spies try to avoid being caught. Schiff is not new to this, and Trump doesn't really have a clue what he is up against.

he is now. I'd love to see him run in 4 or 8 years. He is young enough at 59 yo.

It looks like Schiff may be the absolute "best" at what he is doing right now

4. Trump doesn't "know", but he understands that Schiff must be ad hominemed, and hard.

His real lawyers know. Barr does. It's likely the majority of GOP Senators do, as well.

Their Propaganda Machine sure does, because they are making him into the villain.

5. They may "try" but it will not work. Why? The facts will prove Schiff is not the villian, Trump is.

And the facts will come out for all to see. Some will come out quickly and some will come out slowly. In time, they will all come out.

6. I sure hope so. Schiff needs to be the lead Impeachment Manager.

And I think Pelosi knows that, too.

Problem is, "all" won't pay attention to the facts - there are too many and it floods their brains with Aversion.

and who they are as well as where their Play pens are. My best guess is,if we Dems keep the House,there will be tons of Investigative
and legal actions for a decade all spewing from the corruption by the GOP and their operatives.
