"SOME THOUGHTS..." (from Congressman Adam Schiff):

[soldierant]

41. "several Democratic and Republican members

told me to try to keep out of sight. As one Republican said, 'I know these people and can talk to them. You are in a whole different situation.' I don’t think he meant that he literally knew people in the mob, who were still disembodied and angry voices banging to get through the doors, only that he knew people like them and what they were capable of."

It would be interesting to know who that one epublican was. If there is a human Republican in the House, it would be nice to know who it is.

BTW Adam Schiff is a very clear-eyed man. If he is ever elected speaker, he will be ware what characteristics for that job he is least qualified in, and will do whatever possible to ensure the Whip has them.
