In reply to the discussion: Statement from Adam Schiff [View all]msfiddlestix
(7,282 posts)20. Truth. Every.Single. Word.
I'm pleased he wrote this important reminder to the nation of what we all knew.
That is DJT's lawlessness would not be constrained and that he would continue to betray our Country.
That he would do it in the open, that there would be no boundary he wouldn't cross.
I don't think any of us imagined that he would bring on an attack on our Capitol, but we imagined other decisions that would have been nearly as bad or even worse.
But really, I can only think of one thing worse than that action, but I refuse to spell it out in print.
We need accountability, and holding all of those involved in incitement and continuation of the Big Lie, and yes all of those who voted to acquit
I hope to see him as California's next Attorney General.
While he would be missed in Congress, Adam Schiff's wisdom, legal and constitutional acumen and principled character is sorely needed right now in California.
Given that his district would elect another Democrat, we need not worry or be concerned with holding that seat in the House of Representatives.

Is the LP officially defunct, then? I missed any announcements or articles about it.
