Well it is nice that Schiff has an opinion. Everyone is entitled to one. What I find remarkable about Schiff and others is that for two years these people held Robert Mueller in the highest regard and now that he has come to a conclusion that they don't like he is no longer relevant. A two-year-long investigation that issued 2,800 subpoenas, interviewed 500 witnesses, and used nearly 300 wiretaps and pen registers is not good enough. All of the things mention in that post have been investigated. If someone like Mueller and a crack team of lawyers and investigators can't find damning proof of Schiff's accusations then what? Are we to take a politician's word for it? Not the most trustworthy or unbiased people around.
And of course that's what this is. A political game. The court of public opinion and the court of law are two different things. Schiff's game is aimed directly at the 2020 election.
In the American system of law you are innocent until proven guilty. And if you are charged with a crime and found not guilty, you are still not guilty. If a prosecutor cannot find enough evidence to charge someone with a crime, you are still not guilty. Schiff opinion is irrelevant. For a member of a Congressional committee to appear on TV over 227 times a staggering 26 hours to promote himself and his accusations is shameful. My guess is he has higher office aspirations. He is doing the Democratic Party and the eventual 2020 Dem candidate no favors.
He is, and I'm trying to be polite, a slimball. I don’t think that’s OK.
