Is Adam Schiff The Right PErson To Investigate Trump?

Adam Schiff has had a burr under his saddle regarding Trump since Trump began his presidential campaign. He claimed to have Russia collusion evidence - that he never produced. Now, before the investigation has even begun, Schiff's words betray any semblance of a fair arbiter on the question of Trump's impeachment.

For Schiff, it looks like verdict now, trial later.

So is Schiff the right man for the job?

It’s not just up to Schiff, he has to produce enough evidence to convince the House to impeach and the Senate to convict.

If you’re concerned that he will go off half cocked before doing that, that would be a problem because it would allow Trump to get away with a crime.

@LeopoldBloom If you are NOT concerned about Schiff, then you are not interested in justice.

Good to know.

@Budwick I don’t give a shit if Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, or AOC leads the show. The issue is the evidence, not the prosecutor.

Well, then get some before making accusations.

@Budwick They’re not formal accusations at this point. They’re allegations. Don’t worry, the point of the impeachment process is to look at the evidence. This is just starting.

I know - you got to find a crime first!

So threatening to withhold aid unless they investigate your political rival isn’t a crime? What if Bernie Sanders told China that he’ll lift the tariffs if they help him win the presidency by uncovering dirt on Trump? Doesn’t that destroy any integrity our elections have? We might as well just ask the UN to appoint our president for us.
