He will be fine mentally and is likely enjoying Trump's mental collapse (aside from the scary implications for the US). What worries me is that one of Trump's stupid crazy followers will try to harm Schiff because of Trump's stupid "treason" claims.

Just a warning. The double standard will require he never make an error. He can't misspeak. He can't appear to misspeak. He can't falter at all, or that will take over the news.

last year, being celebrated and applauded with tremendous respect by many, in the future.
She thought he might become president, and was dismayed he wasn't running.

IMO, she saw him being celebrated for his role in the impeachment. He will bring 45 down.

Yes, I watch political psychics sometimes (for entertainment purposes) because they give hope, and predict an end to 45. Some see him being marched out of the white house, in handcuffs or a straight jacket. I like those images.

"Again, just saying. They could trash anyone we have leading." But that's what you're trying to do why?

Had a segment on about whether or not Schiff should lead Impeachment. If OP wanted a zillion "of courses" without any other info, I missed that.

Not saying it is warranted. Not saying I don't like Schiff. Not saying I am trashing him. Not saying anything more than this is information out there. That's allowed right? Or are we supposed to just put rose colored glasses on all the time? And never read, write, or utter anything that may be an obstacle or information to consider.

Shiff's paraphrasing of Trumps intentions regarding his shakedown on the president of Ukraine will be one for the history books. Our children and grandchildren will be seeing news footage of it 50 years from now as an example of effective congressional oversight in the face of the biggest scandal in American history.

He's doing an amazing job. There's nothing to lead anyone to believe he's not the right person at the right time for the critical duty of leading the inquiry.

He responds quickly when need be. And, aligned with Speaker Pelosi, gets out in front of Trump as they did yesterday with the morning press conference. Together, they set the tone that resulted in the Trump breakdown Wednesday afternoon.

There are myriad other examples.
