Schiff used impeachment, or rather his condemnation of it, as a fund raising tool.
Which is really interesting since Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath in order to avoid losing a #MeToo lawsuit for sexually harassing an Arkansas government employee when he was governor.
Contrary to the #FakeNews media spin Clinton wasn't impeached for his cheating lifestyle. Rather because he lied under oath about his affair with a subordinate when he was in the White House. He did so because if he'd told the truth it would have established a precedent for the #MeToo lawsuit against him; namely that he was in the habit of improperly hitting on women who worked for him.
But Adam Schiff said that was ok; that lying under oath and harassing women was great.
Now Schiff is saying that Trump daring to go against the interagency is a crime and that impeachment is necessary.
In all of the hearings, secret and open, not once has any witness identified a crime by Trump based on first hand knowledge. The closest it comes is Sondland saying there was a quid pro quo but then being forced to admit that in fact when he asked Trump about it Trump emphatically stated that he didn't want any quid pro quo. Sondland admitted that despite what the President told him he simply "presumed" that there was a quid pro quo.
That's pretty clear evidence that to Schiff this impeachment is just a way to undo the 2016 election since Hillary didn't win.
One more example of how Democrats are unenthused about democracy.
