Do you feel sorry for fall guy Adam Schiff?
It’s hard to feel sympathy for Rep. Adam Schiff. The California congressperson who was assigned the job by the Leftist deep state in Washington with overturning 2016 election.
He has failed even should the House of Representatives file articles of impeachment against duly-elected (and even most popular) president – ever-r-r-r.
You see, Adam of the bug eyes and rapid gavel, was hand-picked by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to be the fall guy when the impeachment attempt failed.
Nancy, for all her goofy remarks and posturing, is no dummy and knew the impeachment sham would fail.
There was nothing there.
And there never was except for a wishful longing in the hearts of the Hate America tribe who still don’t understand why their plan for a complete take-over didn’t work out.
If that’s the case they might glance at the Theory on Trump piece on page 4 of the Sunday, Dec. 1, edition.
(Incidentally, the column attributed to Livermore Calif., mayor Dr.Marshall Kamena was actually written by conservative author Evan Mayet according to an Internet check. We still like it.)
They probably still wouldn’t understand – being so much smarter than the rest of us.
Paul Curry, writing in Townhall, says if the “Get Trump” people are successful in passing an impeachment bill, they lose. The Senate, even if it takes up the matter, won’t remove the president.
If the Senate does take up impeachment, it will open up all sorts of issues the left would rather not be known.
We may know when the House returns from its Thanksgiving break to take up this oh-so-vital matter (yeah, like not even a real problem – like no budget – would keep these public servants away from their vacation) what the House may do.
Curry comments:
“The Democrats have their choice as to where they will fail, which, in large part, can help determine the extent of the self-inflicted damage their party will ultimately suffer. They can lose in the House by failing to garner enough votes from their own caucus to secure impeachment, or, if they so choose, they can lose in the Senate on a much larger and more damning stage. Either way, they lose.
Following over a month of both closed-door and public testimony, Democrats have failed to move public perception in their direction. Polls by FiveThirtyEight show support for impeachment consistently dropping since the beginning of the inquiry, while Marquette University Law School polling shows a drop for impeachment in the crucial swing state of Wisconsin. Impeachment is failing because the Democrats’ message simply does not resonate with the public. Despite an ever-shifting narrative, driven by focus groups that prefer “bribery” over “quid pro quo,” Democrats have failed to sell their bag of goods to a public whose support they need if their removal fantasies are to remain viable. If the Democrats were unable to sway public opinion with hearings in the House, where they controlled process, witnesses, and optics, their odds of doing so in a Senate trial, where they control none of the above, become insurmountable.”
Pelosi has probably already counted noses and has figured out whether she has the 218 votes she would need to pass articles of impeachment.
A number of vulnerable Democrats undoubtedly do not want to risk their careers on an impeachment vote.
If enough House members vote to impeach, a Senate bloodbath would ensue, Curry predicts, adding:
“A trial where Republicans could call witnesses, such as Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Adam Schiff, and the mysterious whistleblower, would be a disaster for Democrats. If the Democratic debates have provided anything other than a cheap laugh, it’s proof that Joe Biden does not hold up well under friendly questioning. Imagine him being asked, under oath, whether he knew his son was hired for protection purposes. Would Hunter Biden be able to deflect questions regarding his suspicious Ukrainian employment? How would Adam Schiff fare, as a fact witness, when he doesn’t have the gavel? Would he still deny knowledge of the whistleblower, knowing full well that the whistleblower would be called next?
Schiff has been the Lone Ranger in all this, facing a public of “deplorables” virtually on his own.
If Schiff is able to keep his own seat in the House, it will only be because he represents a quirky district in leftwing California.
Whether California will put up with impeachment losers remains to be seen.
Can we work up a little sympathy for poor Adam?
Nah.
