Adam Schiff's Intelligence Committee chairmanship is Pelosi's big mistake
By Patricia McCarthy

Voltaire wrote that "It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong."  This is precisely what has brought the intent to destroy Donald Trump upon his head.  He won the 2016 election by speaking to the American people, not the jaded, constrained political class.  His assessment of the public's frustration with the D.C. establishment was wise and correct.  Hillary Clinton was, and remains, just another authoritarian pol who has nothing but contempt for said people, so it should have been no surprise that she lost.  But a huge shock it was, and the Left has yet to accept that electoral outcome.  So leftists are still trying to undo those results.  Trump's many successes as president only serve to incite their wrath.

Adam Schiff is just the most recent autocratic bully to grace our national politics in apparent ignorance and disavowal of the law, due process and the Constitution.  He has assembled a star chamber in a pathetic effort to find something, anything, with which to impeach President Trump.  That his own party is supporting him in this wretched endeavor is a sad commentary on the state of the Democratic Party; Democrats stick together like fleas on a dog, no matter how sick the dog.

Schiff has the legal credentials to head this impeachment inquiry.  I looked this up to determine whether he was qualified in law to direct this inquiry.  I am not speaking to the point whether or not he is biased, which, of course, he is.  I also did not know he is Jewish.  Here is his information:

"Schiff was born in Framingham, Massachusetts, the son of Edward and Sherrill Ann (Glovsky) Schiff.  He was raised in a Jewish family, and moved to Danville, California, during high school.  He graduated from Monte Vista High School and received a political science degree from Stanford University and a J.D. degree from Harvard Law School."

"After Harvard Law School, Schiff began working as a prosecutor in the Los Angeles branch of the U.S. Attorney's Office. While an assistant U.S. Attorney, he gained attention by prosecuting a case against Richard Miller, a former FBI agent convicted of "passing secret documents to the Soviet Union in exchange for a promised $65,000 in gold and cash."  The first trial resulted in a hung jury; the second trial resulted in a conviction that was overturned on appeal.  Miller was convicted in a third trial."

I'll second that emotion.
