ANALYSIS:

Rep. Adam B. Schiff arrived in the Senate this week as an impeachment trial manager, leaving the House with a trail of inaccuracies, conspiracy theories and attempts at obstruction, the record shows.

Liberal media have bathed the California Democrat in praise. A CNN analyst called him “dazzling.” A Washington Post reporter tweeted that his trial argument to convict President Trump was one for the ages.

Schiff is a clown but a dangerous clown. I really think there's something wrong with him mentally.
He's a fanatic, and like all fanatics sees demons and monsters where none exist.
The Mueller report thoroughly disproved Trump wrongdoing with the Kremlin.  The fake Steele dossier was generated by Hillary Clinton's people. Why isn't she being prosecuted?
Whatever questions Trump asked of Zelensky does not rise to the level of removing him from office.
In short, we all know the Dems were going to try and impeach Trump on the flimsiest of charges as soon as he was inaugurated.
If the only thing they could find on him  was passing gas in the Oval Office, they would have tried to impeach him for that.

Mr. Schiff immediately endorsed the 35-page dossier and praised its author, former British intelligence officer Mr. Steele. At the hearing, the congressman read from Mr. Steele’s reporting, which stated that his allegations wholly came from Kremlin intelligence figures. This meant Mr. Schiff was injecting a list of Moscow assertions into the American political system as he was investigating Russia’s interference in the election.
...
Mr. Schiff also quoted Mr. Steele on a purported conspiracy between campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Mr. Page: “According to Steele, it was Manafort who chose Page to serve as a go-between for the Trump campaign and Russian interests.”

Independent evidence shows the two never knew or spoke with each other.
...
The dossier disclosure was not the only time Mr. Schiff welcomed Kremlin claims into the political process. He also sought naked photos of Mr. Trump from Moscow via a politician in Ukraine.

He was pranked by two Russian comedians, one of whom posed as a Ukrainian official. During a lengthy phone call, Mr. Schiff eagerly questioned the impostors on the types of compromising photos he could obtain, according to a recording posted online.

Later, a top Schiff aide reached out to the Russian and asked whether the material was being delivered to the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington.
...
Mr. Schiff, who voted to impeach Mr. Trump for not turning over documents, opposed Mr. Nunes on both fronts.

He fought Mr. Nunes’ bank subpoenas, which forced Democrats to acknowledge in October 2017 that the Hillary Clinton campaign funded the dossier through opposition research firm Fusion GPS and co-founder Glenn R. Simpson.
...
Mr. Schiff implied several times that Donald Trump Jr. received a phone call from his father after meeting with a Russian lawyer who was involved in business dealings with Fusion GPS. President Trump always said he was not aware of the 15-minute session at Trump Tower in June 2016.

Mr. Schiff said Democrats repeatedly tried to get phone records from the president’s son but Mr. Nunes would not issue a subpoena.
...
“Republicans refused to look at the phone records so that we could find out [who the caller was] because they were afraid of what the answer might be,” he told USA Today.

In January 2019, CNN and ABC News reported that the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence had obtained the phone records. All of Donald Trump Jr.’s calls before and on that day to “blocked” numbers were with business associates.

I realize that the nature of this article is that it is cherry-picking ... cherry-picking egregious examples of Schifftyroo's stupidity and dishonesty. That said, it does seem that the prime object in Schifftyroo's stupidity and dishonesty is the Trump-Russia-Collusion Delusion. IMO, that is the context of Schifftyroo returning in the shampeachment hearings to stupid claims about Russia. I think there is no evidence - known or hypothetical - that can dispel Schifftyroo's obsessive belief in this known-false conspiracy theory.
