CA-SEN: Adam Schiff Says He Has Dianne Feinstein's Blessing

[RandySF]

The 89-year-old Feinstein has not said whether she’s running for a sixth term, but Schiff says he talks to her all the time and that “I wouldn't be doing this without her blessing,” although he said he would not characterize that as an endorsement.

When asked why he was jumping in before Feinstein officially retired, Schiff said, “I think she's earned the right to make that announcement whenever she decides the time is right. And I certainly respect her enough to want to give her that space.”

3. Nothing could be more true than Adam Schiff's statement that Dianne Feinstein has

"earned the right to make that announcement whenever she decides the time is right. And I certainly respect her enough to want to give her that space.”

Her accomplishments in The Senate make her a person deserving of our gratitude and respect.

6. McCarthy may regret kicking Schiff off House Intelligence Committee

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

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.
