David Brooks on PBS: Adam Schiff Will 'Just Walk All Over' Ken Starr, Dershowitz
By Tim Graham | January 18, 2020 7:04 AM EST

On Friday's PBS NewsHour, New York Times columnist David Brooks energetically sought to agree that President Trump should be removed from office, but the polling isn't so good. The percentage of people who think Trump should be removed has gone down, and the opposition to removal has gone up, "it's pretty much 50-50 basically, and so, if you're looking for it political pressure on Republican senators, you certainly don't see it so far out there."

But Brooks and liberal analyst Mark Shields agreed that the case against Trump has only gotten stronger, and that somehow, Speaker Nancy Pelosi was right to delay transmitting the articles to the Senate, even though she changed nothing about the Senate trial. Shields said "the political graveyard of dead ambitions is littered with the corpses of those who underestimated the speaker." Brooks said Trump looks even guiltier:

In one respect it is hard to criticize them. After all,if they DIDN'T write what pleases their bosses,they would be fired,and neither knows how to do anything else.

Well, Starr is constrained by the truth, and Schiff's stooges in the media will amplify his comments, if this is what Brooks means.

Brooks needs to lay off the weed.

Walk over them?

I'd day there is a about 5-10% chance of a Schiff felony conviction, once this is all said and done.
