Why Democrats are sure Rep. Schiff is the perfect person to take on President Trump.
. As a result, Schiff was able to subtly take advantage of voters' distaste for the Clinton impeachment without the risk inherent in making it the focus of his campaign.
"I watched what the impeachment was doing to the country and felt very strongly that...it was a terrible abuse of that power," Schiff said in an interview with NBC News on Sunday, speaking of the Republican-led House's votes against Clinton in 1998. “The circumstances today are quite radically different. The president's actions today threaten our national security and betray his oath of office.
Before Ukraine, Schiff, who led the successful removal of a federal judge through the impeachment process about a decade ago, admonished fellow Democrats and the party's activist base that it would be a mistake to hit the gas on impeachment without evidence that would persuade most of the public that removal was merited — again, a lesson from the Clinton experience.
Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., a member of the Intelligence Committee, praised Schiff for keeping a focus on Russian interference in the 2016 campaign. And, he said, Schiff has"been purposeful in the way he leads" on the impeachment inquiry,"seeing the bigger picture" and ignoring the vagaries of"day-to-day breaking news drama" that can distract from it.
"Schiff has become part celebrity and part political powerhouse — holding the keys to unlock the vindication box that Democrats and everyday Americans have been salivating for," said Dave Jacobson, a Democratic strategist in Southern California."Given that California is a bastion of deep-blue progressivism, there is only an upside to this impeachment effort for Schiff."
In 2017, Schiff said on MSNBC's"Meet the Press Daily" that there would be"more than circumstantial evidence" showing collusion between Trump's camp and Moscow, and he had repeatedly suggested that he was aware of nonpublic information detrimental to the president's defense.
"I have no doubt that the president and those around him would like to be able to tailor their stories to the witness testimony," he said.
