"SNIP.....

“Rep. Adam Schiff is quietly lobbying Gov. Gavin Newsom and his allies to appoint him California’s next attorney general,” Axios reports.

“If Newsom selects Schiff, chair of the House Intelligence Committee and a confidant of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Democrats would lose a powerful party voice in the U.S. House and temporarily give up a seat in their slim 221-211 majority.”

“Nonetheless, Pelosi has given her approval to Schiff’s bid, a clear sign she thinks she can manage without him.”

3. Well ... that would kinda bum me out ... but CA AG is a pretty damn important position, too

And may be a great springboard to ... CA Governor?

I could see that.

Because this country is screwed and I want to live in a great country.
