Adam Schiff actually said...

I do. And I don`t think it`s even close. And I say that as someone who thought his last presidential abuse was among the most serious in history. But I say that because the paramount concern of the Founders was that a president would seek to instill themselves in office permanently, that they would become president for life or king. And here, where the president incites violation against the capitol against the Constitution, because we talk about upholding and defending the Constitution, we`re not talking about the parchment, of course, we`re talking about what`s embodied in that Constitution, and than joint session of Congress was all about the peaceful transfer of power. That`s the ceremony where you literally are counting the electors. And by launching that mob at the capitol to interfere with that, by all the bogus, fraudulent claims of fraud, all the incitement against the vice president, he was seeking to defeat that constitutional process and in so doing, resulted in five people losing their lives. Hard to imagine a more serious violation of the Constitution, or something the Founders would have been more concerned about than that.
