Chairman Schiff: "You never realize how important character is in the presidency until..."



Adam Schiff✔@RepAdamSchiff

You never realize how important character is in the presidency until you have a president without it.

But I am optimistic about America’s future. We will get through this.

What we do now will determine how quickly and how much damage we must repair.

Right matters.

The present DoJ is being consumed by the cancer Barr promotes from within it. It'll take a man of exceptional talent and character to excise the tumors when Barr leaves (preferably frog-marched by US Marshalls).

Mitt Romney exhibited character. He will be attacked for it each day he is in the Senate.

Adam Schiff and the rest of the House Managers and Democrats showed CHARACTER.

I could not be more proud of the Democrats.

gop member who comes close to OUR representatives? Theirs act like frat boys. They are characters alright, but without CHARACTER, or sense it seems. It is understandable why they cheer on tRump, since he is as devoid of decency and admirable qualities as they are. Birds of a feather so to speak. He WAS going to "clear the swamp" until he wallowed in "the sewer", where they are all comfortable. Not a single admirable person in their crew. So Mitt did one honest act, big deal. He knew he would be alone, but it will help when he runs for the WH AGAIN.
