The Public Record
Adam Bennett Schiff is an American lawyer and politician currently serving as the U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district, a position he has held since January 3, 2001. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff has played a significant role in various legislative efforts and is known for his work on national security and intelligence issues. He served as the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, where he was involved in high-profile investigations and oversight of intelligence agencies.
If they take that too far, that is the desire to avoid controversy, and they somehow in practical effect immunize the former president because it would be controversial to investigate a former president, that’s a political decision and I…
I think there’s a desire for Justice Department to restore the independence of the department to avoid controversy.
I very much share his concern and have been expressing a very similar concern really for months now.
That supreme dereliction of duty while the Capitol was being attacked.
He knew the claims he was making to the public were false. He continued to make them.
It's clear that after these other efforts to overturn the election failed, his last ditch effort was going to be to summon the mob.
At some point, did one of them make a comment that they didn't have evidence but they had a lot of theories?
I think the clear intent was to influence the witnesses to potential testimony or testimony, and so I think it's quite obvious what the President was trying to do.
Can we be confident that he will not continue to try to cheat in that very election? ... The short, plain, sad, incontestable answer is no, you can't.
It is very unusual for a local district attorney's office to be way out ahead of the U.S. Justice Department in a case of federal and national significance.
I think that provided some important evidence to the district attorney's office.
We all had those calls, certainly all of us on the committee. And we confirm with each other, about the threat environment out there, what we are hearing from people.
The next hearing will focus on quote efforts to assemble that mob in the mall, end quote.
Our very next hearing will be focused on the efforts to assemble that mob on the Mall.
I have great confidence in Cassidy Hutchinson as a very, very credible, reliable witness.
His knowledge of the propensity for violence that day, his knowledge that the president and others may be breaking the law that day, I think is very important.
It was to succeed where he had failed through every other means and that was to stop the transfer of power to overturn the election to cling to his office.
And he ought to show just a small portion of the courage that Cassidy Hutchinson displayed. He needs to come out of hiding. He needs to do his patriotic duty.
I think the worst-case scenario is not that Donald Trump runs and wins, but that he runs and loses and they overturn the election.
I concur with what Judge Carter out in California said, that there's sufficient evidence to believe the former president violated multiple federal laws.
I believe lying under oath is an impeachable offense. I believe that violating federal law in not disclosing income from political organizations, as Clarence Thomas did years ago, is also potentially an impeachable offense. I believe that…
The president understood that all the Justice Department leadership thought that was completely bogus.
He knows exactly what he’s doing. And he’s trying to browbeat people into -- into doing what he wants.
