I know this Washington snake is soon to be installed in the Senate. I know that properly I should be referring to him as Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA).
I can’t. All I see is a lying, duplicitous, self aggrandizing, immoral, snake that shouldn’t be within 1000 miles of the levers of power.
I see him as a representation of everything that is wrong not only with Washington D.C. but also with the California electorate who votes (D) no matter what.
Schiff was bad enough when he represented the 30th District, but was typical of that district. The district encompasses parts of LA, Burbank, Pasadena and some of the filthy rich democrat enclaves in La Cresenta, Montrose, La Canada Flintridge, Glendale, Altadena, and parts of Tujunga.
Many of these areas enjoy gated walled communities and are largely disconnected from, or untouched by, the things they vote in favor of.
Prior to 2016 the only time I’d heard his name was when some political scandal broke. I don’t recall if he was condemning the scandal or was part of it. Honestly I didn’t care. Whatever was going on, it was the business of the electorate in the 30th district.
After 2016, he gained prominence by consistently lying and being caught lying in testimony to congress usually about Trump, often while trying to impeach the President. I’m for impeachment of a bad president for cause. I however have a serious problem impeaching the President based on false testimony, statements, fabricated evidence, and the word of a liar who happens to be in the House of Representatives.
He was like Judy Chu (D-CA) who represents an adjacent district to the East. I ignored her too, until she had Obama annex a part of the forest in the mountains nearer Pasadena. She touted this as important legislation that would ensure the forest was maintained and reduce fire hazards. It didn’t. The feds haven’t done squat, and the recent “Bridge Fire” is ample proof of that.
After the last redistricting, Judy Chu, is unfortunately now representing me and my town so I do pay attention to her. Looking at the redistricting map it’s clear the powers that be wanted to destroy a large Republican voting block, that had formed in the high desert. Over the years conservatives who happened to be mostly republican moved to the desert where houses were more affordable and crime was lower. Interesting side note, that migration heralded the loss of Californians to other states for exactly the same reasons.
Judy Chu sends happy horse shit announcements about how interested she is in hearing from us. She invites us to hear her speak prior to elections on weekdays from 8-5 in Pasadena. After the election, we don’t hear anything at all from her or her office. Requests for assistance or even requests for clarity about specific addresses being in her district, or not, go unanswered.
Her notices tell us how important it is for us to be “part of the process,” and how interested she is in hearing from those of us in the mountain portion of her district. I’d bet she couldn’t find this town with a map, GPS, and police escort. She’s another California politician that sits in congress collecting her paycheck, finding ways to get rich like Nancy Pelosi, and doing nothing for the California people. But I digress.
Over the weekend, Schiff appeared on ABC’s “The Week” and said that Americans didn’t vote for Trump to see him pardon “criminals involved” in Jan 6. A brief writeup appeared in Breitbart
Uhhh Adam, yes they did. In great part because you and the Jan 6th committee engaged in what was clearly theater.
Generally speaking, everything the committee did looked a lot more like an old style Soviet show trial than actual justice. It was obvious from the start the committee was going to find anyone guilty that supported Trump and opposed the Democrat Party, or Joe Biden.
That farcical committee pardoned then arranged for a promotion of the single individual who discharged his firearm that day resulting in the murder of Ashley Babbitt.
The committee via the DOJ imprisoned 1000s of American citizens for the duration of Joe Biden’s presidency, many of them in horrific conditions and still awaiting trial or in some cases even pretrial hearings.
Then the committee destroyed evidence.
We The People, want a lot more than pardons for the January 6 prisoners. We want justice. I can’t speak for all Americans but I want all the members of that committee investigated, tried, sentenced, and imprisoned in exactly the same conditions as the January 6th Prisoners.
Joe Biden might preemptively pardon some of the committee. Which in my mind, simply underscores their guilt, but he’s not going to pardon everyone who contributed to this reign of lawlessness and law fare.
Believe me, when all those underlings and “disposable” people are looking at prison terms, they will turn on members of the committee and even though those members will be sitting fat dumb and happy with pardons. Their guilt will be exposed. I won’t be surprised in the least if the families of those who end up taking the rap for “The Committee” come looking for a little bit of revenge.
