When Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California decided to join the House Intelligence Committee in 2008, taking a leading role in impeaching a President wasn't quite what he anticipated
"He wanted to go on the Intelligence Committee for two principle reasons: Number one, it was bipartisan, and number two, it was quiet," said former Democratic Rep. Steve Israel of New York, a close Schiff friend."And so I often say to him, 'How did that work out for you, buddy?'"It did not work out as expected.
"I played quarterback, Adam played on the line for his team, and in one play Adam literally ripped the jersey off my back, and that's Adam," said longtime Schiff friend and law school classmate Karl Thurmond."And so, yes, he is very ambitious, he is very competitive but not in a cutthroat or a backstabbing way.
