“We want to show the country just how Jan. 6 came about -- and not just the mechanics of that day, in terms of the participation of the white nationalist groups ... but rather how this big falsehood about our elections propelled thousands of people to attack their own government,” Schiff says in an interview on C-SPAN's Book TV, airing a week from Sunday.
Last winter, Trump was impeached a second time, accused of inciting the riot. But the House prosecutors, much like Schiff in the first trial that was focused on election interference involving the Trump campaign and Ukraine, failed to win conviction in the Senate. The special committee is drilling down not just on Trump, but also potentially Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California and the president’s other allies in Congress who perpetuate the claim that the election was somehow rigged or illegitimate — though every state has certified its results as accurate, and dozens of court challenges have gone nowhere.
Trump scoffs at the committee, refusing to participate. Two prominent GOP lawmakers, Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois have essentially been disowned by their party for joining the panel and its probe. Schiff tweeted this week the panel is "not messing around’ and expects Biden's Department of Justice to prosecute the criminal contempt cases to force compliance.
Schiff acknowledges that he and other Democrats were ill prepared for Trump's popularity, and still five years on struggle to mount a compelling counter-argument to woo back voters who left the party for Trump.
We need you Adam Schiff. Stay with it.....
True and correct positions, but where were you on Trump before 2016 when I was yelling to the rooftops? No Democrat would listen. Bill Clinton saw the problem,but kept quiet. Now Schiff has book and can now speak. Why didn’t you write the friggin book in 2015?
When you have a former president who has been out of office for over nine months now drawing this level of ire or vitriol - You know he poses a real threat to their Marxist plans. Trump 2024!
This guy is like gum on your shoe, hard to get rid of
America should vote out of office the big 3 Rep Omar, Talaib, and Ocasio- Diaz because all they do is divide us and nothing gets accomplished in Congress for the benefit of America's citizens
We need leaders like Pres Reagan, Kennedy, Speaker O Neil, not people like Biden or Schiff, Pelosi,
Biden is a poor example of a leader as President in his term he will be remembered as the leader who chickened out and spread the news on worldwide TV that were pulling out of Afghanistan that cost the lives of 13 US soldiers
But we the people of this great nation should put an American in office that knows how to handle the pressures of being the President of this great nation
Adam Schiff should not be re-elected if he comes up for re-election all this man does is divide our people I don't like Trump and the way he handled his Administration and the Pandemic
ChristineVSmith Correcting Schiff, the problem is much older and has its roots in the advancement of authoritarian cultures and institutions which I've been publishing about all along. Obviously recent events have been destabilizing; This has to do with over-reactions to progress and bad tactics
Rubbish🙄🤡🤣
