IDK. He truly concerns me.
Because he is active?

Oh...I figured my sarcastic remark would be enough. My bad.
Schiff is attempting to build a legal business molehill into some kind of hysterical mountain...for nothing more than political purposes.
Mueller doesn't have the power/authority to indict.
Just sayin
Yeah, even as far as politicians go, Trump is a pathological liar that never tells the truth from the get-go. He always exaggerates, embellishes, deceives, omits, or just outright lies in his public statements, before the WH has to come clean for him after his lies get exposed.
Rhetorically shooting messengers is all desperate GOPosters have left, no matter the trump thread, as we'll see with Mueller getting trashed when he indicts trump ...
Which were an actual thing that helped to cost her the election.But ... her emails ...
I'm not a fan of his counterparts on the GOP side, either. However, Schiff has been a partisan liar the entire time he's been in the House. He views all international relations, military actions, and intelligence subjects from a purely partisan point of view, and shows no qualms with telling outrageous lies to protect his side and/or harm the other side, regardless of the impact to the nation.
He covered for Hillary from day one, before ANY facts were known, regarding Benghazi, the email server, and every other incident. He did the same for Obama when it came to defending Obama's unconstitutional EO's, where an honest Congressman would have at least tried to protect the separation of powers.
He's an unabashed political shill for the far left, and adding that to his obvious greed for power and ambition for an even higher office, makes him dangerous to the rule of law, our personal rights, and our country's future.
IMHO, that is. Also, I respect your opinion, so don't take what I said as a reflection upon you.
Obviously, but let's not believe him because he's a Democrat. Even though, the revelation about Trump Tower Moscow completely contradicts Trump's statements about no dealings with Russia.

Why does most of this lead back to Obama's administration?
The more, and more people read into this. His election was the starting point of some pretty extremely partisan groups in the white house, that eventually trickled down to so many of the government services. I'm not saying it was the only source of partisan objection/decisions, but when he was elected more people started to choose favorites then usual.
Yeah because attempting to commit a crime is somewhat similar to attempting to do a business deal.
Please give it just a little bit of thought before you type.
I think that this is more of an additional confirmation about Trump being dishonest more than some kind of revelation. One can look back over his business dealings and determine he's not an honest person. That his base can somehow claim otherwise and keep a straight face is difficult to understand. Just bizarre. He lied throughout his campaign, he continues to lie almost every time he addresses the nation. Yep, he's as dishonest as they come.
However, I think most of the politicians in DC have "dishonesty envy" over Trump. Trump is holding court on the subject. Let's face it, the guy has mastered the art of lying so well that he doesn't flinch when he does it, makes his accusers look like evil people who are out to get him, and convinces his herd that he is a victim deserving of their loyalty. I am sure there are a number of Beltway insiders who look at him and think "how does he do it, magnificent!"
Not really. DC has been rather divided numerous times throughout our history. One of the main catalysts for the modern divisiveness was the rise of the Progressives in the late 1910's, 1920's and 1930's and the gains in influence by Socialists and Communists in the US in the 1930's and 1940's - which gave rise to the political power of the religious right to counter those Progressives. The rise of the religious right as a major power within the GOP back in the 1970's and 80's (due to the power of TV preachers) has caused as much turmoil and angst as the rise of the Progressives, however, with their insistence on blurring the line between church and state. One form of anti-Constitutional behavior is no better than any other form.
Don't give Obama, too, much credit. He was more of a symbol of the left's movement away from the rule of law and away our Constitutional foundations rather than the cause, because that has been going on since the rise of the Great "Progressive" Society with Wilson, and then FDR. Obama was divisive for other reasons as well, but that doesn't reflect on Schiff in this thread like the points above certainly do.
I know it doesn't, it just weird how you can step back, and look how this is some sort of sick escalation of ideals.
Schiff has his own problems, that he has rightfully earned. I think I just link the turning point of this with Obama, as the end of his term brought about all of these current anti(not our view) groups. Ones that he strangely helped foster instead of condemning like any president with common sense would see to do.
Okay, how about a change of subject?
Is there anyway out of this for Schiff, could he possibly regain all the trust he's been losing?
I mean if the man just sticks to one party, and holds tight he may just make it out intact... but maybe not.
With me he's lost all credibility. However, there are enough people in his district that disagree with me and continue to re-elect him.
