The Democrat’s point person on impeachment hopes to take his case, calmly, to the American people
Now, as chairman of the intel committee, Schiff will put his even-keeled approach on display as the ongoing impeachment inquiry enters a public phase. On Wednesday, he will preside over with the first of several public hearings featuring witnesses to Trump’s efforts to pressureSchiff’s challenge is a daunting one: building the case for impeachment with the American public and winning over those people who haven’t made up their minds about the president’s conduct.
A decade later, Schiff played a key role in impeachment and removal of a federal judge named Thomas Porteous Jr., who was accused of multiple acts of corruption. The case raised tricky legal questions, including whether Porteous could be impeached for crimes he committed before he was appointed to the bench. In the end, the SenateSchiff says the Porteous case taught him a valuable lesson.
In past impeachments, the investigative legwork was largely finished by the time members of Congress began considering impeachment articles. Watergate had the Jaworski road map. The Clinton impeachment had the Starr Report. The Porteous impeachment happened after the Judicial Conference of the United States conducted its own investigation andIn the case of Ukrainegate, there was no previous investigation.
On top of his day-to-day work on the impeachment inquiry, Schiff has also become a mentor of sorts to the rookie Democrats who find themselves thrust into a political shitstorm after less than a year on the job. “If you call, he always calls you back. If you text him, he always replies,” says Rep. Jason Crow . “He always makes the time. It makes him stick out in Washington.”
