Let's start with Schiff being an unrepentant liar:
Former State Dept. spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus has grilled Democrat Congressman Adam Schiff (CA) during this Tuesday’s episode of “The View” on the liberal ABC network for his past promotion of the now very much discredited Steele Dossier.
“You have been very prolific over the previous few years being the leader of the Intel Committee and you defended, supported, and even put the Steele Dossier into the Congressional Record,” Ortagus stated. “And we now know that last week, the main source for the dossier was indicted for reporting lies to the FBI about the important claims in the dossier.”
“Do you have any comments on your part in pushing this out to the American public?” she said.
Schiff immediately deflected by going for former President Trump, despite Trump not being a part of the question, and by continuing to push conspiracy theories connected to Russia.
“But you have made false statements and spread disinformation for years by supporting this,” Ortagus said. “I believe that is what Republicans and the people who entrusted with the Intel Committee chairmanship are so confused about your possible culpability in all of this.”
Schiff refused to agree with the premise of Ortagus’ question and said that it was “impossible” to “have foreseen that some people were lying” about the political gossip.
“None of this is undercut, none of it Trump’s serious misconduct is in any way lowered by the fact that people reported lies to Steele,” Schiff stated.

That it's all Joe Manchin's fault, that the Good and Compassionate Democrats would have done such great things for America's poor and working class if not for this sole Bad Senator, is the game they always play.

That's who the Democrats *really* are, not the bullshit brand they sell every 2 years to gullible left-liberals.https://t.co/ADvJx1rM2u
