Adam Schiff: ‘We take no joy’ in trying to impeach Trump

It was a bad enough lie hearing it from Nancy Pelosi’s lips. But to hear it from this guy, who has just about salivated on national TV at the prospect of finally realizing his vengeful three-year-long dream, is simply too much.

Schiff is the clown who repeated like a stuck record throughout the Mueller investigation that he had iron-clad proof of Donald Trump’s collusion with Russia. It was Schiff who lied about when he first knew of the “whistleblower’s” complaint and may have coached that person to get the most mileage out of the flimsy evidence he provided. Finally, it was Schiff who staged a “dramatic reading” of the transcript of the phone call between Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart on the House floor because the original wasn’t damning enough.

And now, after close to a month of daily secret “impeachment” hearings, followed by selective leaks to the media that would best support the patrisan narrative he wanted to convey, Schiff wants Americans to believe he takes no pleasure in these proceedings.
