"You can’t fight your war of attrition on local police without having a fraudulent hero like George Floyd to push the public relations, and so you can’t pursue the political annihilation of Trump without having an Adam Schiff being martyred to the cause of Our Democracy."

You can’t pursue the political annihilation of Trump without having a Schiff martyred to the cause of Our Democracy.

"Boy, what a spectacle the House Democrats made on Wednesday, no? You had to know they’d behave badly in response to efforts at holding Adam Schiff, their designated hitter when it came to spreading the Trump–Russia myth, accountable for his lies, but this?
"You’d look at that cast of characters straight out of the Star Wars cantina scene, and you’d struggle to find any coherent thinking behind it. (READ MORE: With Schiff, House Democrats Declare Moral Bankruptcy)
"The thing is, though, there is some.
"1. They’re Not Wild Animals; They’re Zoo Animals — And There Is a Zookeeper
"The impression you get from seeing the current batch of House Democrats, now that they’re not led by the doddering octogenarians Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, and James Clyburn, is that they’re a collection of wackos, radicals, perverts, and hooligans: an unruly mob disguised as a congressional caucus.
"And that’s a rational impression. You can’t ascribe strategic thinking to a group that has, for example, the purple-haired cat-lady Rosa DeLauro so prominently included.
"But the Democrats in the House seem to have galvanized around three principles that they’ve made the core of their existence in this Congress — and that they’re hoping to ride back to power in 2024.
"The first is that they fight together. It would have been pretty easy to throw Schiff overboard and then go on the offensive against all the Republicans with so much as a hangnail of ethics. You’ve seen how the Senate Democrats have launched an unprecedented assault on the Supreme Court, which is a thinly veiled attempt to delegitimize the court before it explodes the regulatory welfare that is Chevron deference and, in so doing, knock out a key pillar of Deep State governance.
"But they’ve closed ranks around Schiff, even though he’s a colossal liability. Think about it — poll after poll shows that Americans have lost faith in the government’s ability to operate honorably and to not meddle in elections, and what Schiff did was weaponize the source of that distrust. He’s literally the face of the lying Deep State, and he’s a smarmy jackass no more likable than Peter Strzok at that. And it doesn’t matter. They won’t leave any of their wounded in the field." . . .
