Reality will soon make Kevin's like miserable. Schiff and Swalwell will still be key players going forward....amd Kevin can't make that go away.

From Wikipedia:

Schiff received a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Stanford University in 1982 and graduated with distinction.[8] Schiff returned to Massachusetts to attend Harvard Law School, from which he obtained his Juris Doctor, graduating cum laude in 1985. Schiff was a member of the Harvard Law School Forum, and his tasks included driving guest speakers including William J. Brennan Jr. from the airport to campus and back.He also worked as a student research assistant for Professor Laurence Tribe.

Start of career
After law school, Schiff spent a year as a law clerk for Judge William Matthew Byrne Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. From 1987 to 1993, he was an Assistant United States Attorney in the Office of the United States Attorney for the Central District. While in this position, Schiff came to public attention when he prosecuted the case against Richard Miller, a former FBI agent who spied for the Soviet Union.


He would not be shy.

McCarthy may help Adam Schiff get the Democratic nomination by being an asshole




https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/01/25/adam-schiff-kevin-mccarthy-house-intelligence-backfire/

We suspect the real reason Republicans are going after Mr. Schiff is that he has been so effective. Then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had such confidence in Mr. Schiff that she made him — not the chairman of the Judiciary Committee — the point person on the first of Mr. Trump’s impeachments. He also performed valuable service as a member of the select committee that investigated the insurrection.

If Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) retires as many expect in 2024, Mr. Schiff appears likely to run for Senate. It is possible that Mr. McCarthy’s pettiness could redound to the political benefit of his fellow Californian. He might have laid the groundwork for Mr. Schiff to succeed Ms. Feinstein not only as a senator but also in a leading role on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
