November 15:
Adam Schiff hopes to fight Donald Trump
with facts
Hollywood’s unlikeliest star will assume a lead role in 2019
Though socially liberal, Adam Schiff, a 58-year-old former federal prosecutor,
is a fiscally sensible moderate with national-security chops. He is also,
despite being the likely next chairman of the House intelligence committee,
hardly anyone’s idea of box office.
As the ranking Democrat on a committee that has degenerated to dog-eat-dog
partisanship and conspiracy-mongering under Devin Nunes, Mr Schiff has been much
provoked in the past 18 months. He remains relentlessly measured and low-key. A
look of pained consternation, over his Republican colleagues’ latest attack or
intelligence leak, is as animated as he gets. “I think they will have a lot to
answer for when this chapter of history is written,” he says, more in sorrow
than rage. Yet Mr Schiff, though neither charismatic nor fiery, qualities that
some Democrats think indispensable to resisting the president, will soon lead
that effort.

November 18: Trump
Insults Key House Democrat Adam Schiff With Potty Humor Tweet
President Donald Trump insulted Democratic Representative Adam Schiff of
California with a tweet that misspelled the Intelligence Committee member’s name
in a way that suggests a scatological reference.
“So funny to see little Adam Schitt (D-CA) talking about the fact that Acting
Attorney General Matt Whitaker was not approved by the Senate, but not
mentioning the fact that Bob Mueller (who is highly conflicted) was not approved
by the Senate!” Trump tweeted on Sunday.
The California Democrat quickly fired back to Trump on Twitter.
“Wow, Mr. President, that’s a good one,” said Schiff, who has promised to follow
Mueller in investigating possible collusion by the Trump campaign with Russian
interference in the 2016 presidential election if he takes over the panel. “Was
that like your answers to Mr. Mueller’s questions, or did you write this one
yourself?”

January 4: Schiff
throws cold water on impeaching Trump
House Intelligence Committee Chairman
Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said in an interview that aired Friday on
"Rising" that he presumes
President Trump will be voted out of office, effectively throwing
cold water on impeachment.
"Where it ends I don't know," Schiff told actor Richard Schiff — the two are not
related — in a Hill.TV interview on Thursday. "I presume it ends with Donald
Trump being voted out of office."
"But Bob Mueller will have a lot to say about that. We shouldn't pre-judge what
he concludes or the evidence that he's gathered," he continued. "We have our own
responsibilities with our investigation in Congress."

February 5:
President Donald Trump accused the House Intelligence Committee's top Democrat
Monday of criminally leaking sensitive information.
Trump's tweet comes as Democrats push to release a memo expected to rebut a
Republican document of alleged FBI surveillance abuses.
"Little Adam Schiff, who is desperate to run for higher office, is one of the
biggest liars and leakers in Washington, right up there with Comey, Warner,
Brennan and Clapper! Adam leaves closed committee hearings to illegally leak
confidential information. Must be stopped!" Trump
tweeted.
Schiff quickly responded on Twitter.
"Mr. President, I see you've had a busy morning of 'Executive Time.' Instead of
tweeting false smears, the American people would appreciate it if you turned off
the TV and helped solve the funding crisis, protected Dreamers or...really
anything else," the California Democrat
tweeted.

February 6: Today,
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence, released the following statement following the Committee’s
organizational meeting:
“Consistent with its jurisdiction, investigative responsibilities, and building
on substantial work undertaken during the last Congress, the House Permanent
Select Committee on Intelligence (“Committee”) will conduct a rigorous
investigation into efforts by Russia and other foreign entities to influence the
U.S. political process during and since the 2016 U.S. election. In addition,
the Committee will investigate the counterintelligence threat arising from any
links or coordination between U.S. persons and the Russian government and/or
other foreign entities, including any financial or other leverage such foreign
actors may possess.
“In the more than two years since the Intelligence Community released its
assessment of Russia’s malign influence operation targeting the 2016 U.S.
elections, much has been learned about the scope and scale of Russia’s attack on
our democracy, including how covert and overt Russian activities intersected
with individuals associated with Donald Trump’s presidential campaign,
transition, administration, and business interests, including the Trump
Organization. It is now known that, from late 2015 through early 2017,
individuals close to Donald Trump engaged in a significant number of contacts
with an array of individuals connected to, or working on behalf of, the Russian
government, and that several of these contacts involved efforts to acquire and
disseminate damaging information about Hillary Clinton and her campaign, or
related to Russia’s desired relief from U.S. sanctions.
“While Special Counsel Robert Mueller continues his investigation into whether
there were “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and
individuals associated with the [Trump] campaign,” and whether any crimes were
committed in connection with, or arising from, that investigation, the Committee
must fulfill its responsibility to provide the American people with a
comprehensive accounting of what happened, and what the United States must do to
protect itself from future interference and malign influence operations.
“During the prior Congress, the
Committee began to pursue credible reports of money laundering and financial
compromise related to the business interests of President Trump, his family, and
his associates. The President’s actions and posture towards Russia during the
campaign, transition, and administration have only heightened fears of foreign
financial or other leverage over President Trump and underscore the need to
determine whether he or those in his Administration have acted in service of
foreign interests since taking office.
“Unfortunately, these and numerous other avenues of inquiry were not completed
during the last Congress. Now, in the 116th Congress, the Committee’s
investigation will focus principally on five interconnected lines of inquiry,
beginning with these incomplete or unexamined investigative threads:

Schiff: Intel Committee Investigating Allegations Russians Laundered Money
Through Trump Organization
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/03/03/adam_schiff_intel_committee_investigating_allegations_russians_laundered_money_through_the_trump_organization.html
March 3: Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of
California said the House Intelligence Committee is investigating President
Trump's pursuit of a Trump Tower in Moscow and potential money laundering by the
Trump Organization on behalf of Russia.
"The Moscow Trump Tower deal, for example, is among the most disturbing, because
that's something the president was pursuing throughout the midst of the
presidential campaign," Schiff, the committee's chairman, said on "Face the
Nation" Sunday. "We are certainly looking deep into this set of issues around
Moscow at Trump Tower. We're also looking at persistent allegations that the
Russians have been laundering money through the Trump Organization. I don't know
that that's true. But if it is, again, it's a profound compromise of this
president."

March 18: Why Rep.
Adam Schiff seems to be everywhere
The California congressman is a man on a mission – to use his newfound power as
chairman of the House Intelligence Committee to get answers on President Trump
and Russia.

March 19: Schiff:
Real question is if Trump is under the influence of a foreign power
Whether Mueller will answer that question is unclear. But House Intel Chair Adam
Schiff said he is steering his probe in a new direction to focus on it.
Nearly two years into his investigation, special counsel Robert Mueller has not
accused any member of the Trump campaign of conspiring with the 2016 election
interference effort — and it's not clear whether he will.
But legal experts, along with the congressman leading the House Russia
investigation, tell NBC News that the most important question investigators must
answer is one that may never have been suitable for the criminal courts: Whether
President Trump or anyone around him is under the influence of a foreign
government.
"It's more important to know what Trump is NOW than to know what he did in
2016," said Martin Lederman, professor at the Georgetown University Law Center
and former deputy assistant attorney general in the Department of Justice's
Office of Legal Counsel during the Obama administration. "It's more important to
know whether he has been compromised as president than whether his conduct
during the campaign constituted a crime."
