'Schiff’s statement ... scorchingly outlined President Trump’s three-way betrayal of his country and the American people,' writes page88 via latimesopinion.
During the House Judiciary Committee’s hearing on Wednesday morning, Republicans badgered Robert S. Mueller III with sticky names that they often mispronounced.The special counsel’s investigation, they bellowed, was somehow ill-intentioned. Mueller looked at them blankly.
And then came the afternoon session and Rep. Adam B. Schiff . As chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Schiff presided over the second congressional hearing with Mueller. His opening remarks, both plainspoken and magisterial, pierced the clouds and cacophony of the morning session.Schiff’s statement might be called “Disloyalty, Greed and Lies.” It scorchingly outlined President Trump’s three-way betrayal of his country and the American people.
“Core principles” are routinely cited in cornier political speeches — but never to better effect. When it came time for Schiff to question Mueller, the pair were effective as scene partners not because they excel at stagecraft or sound bites but because they share a commitment to the material. The lifelong Democrat and the lifelong Republican bothabout the emergencies and attacks spelled out in the Mueller report. Much more than they care about showboating. Imagine that.
Their only mistake was in expecting that, as they put it, “all Americans will stand together and reject the Russian effort.”
