It was telling that in the midst of his Intelligence Committee impeachment hearings, Rep. Adam Schiff of Burbank rushed back to California to address the Democratic State Convention, and to bask in their cheers. Schiff is now a national figure and there is no doubt his ultimate goal is to run statewide in California, probably […]
An obscure race for governor of Kentucky has Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff breathing a lot easier.
