'A Shift To Schiff': With Growing Calls For Trump Impeachment, Dem Leadership Plots A New Course

The path forward, sources say, may not involve House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., who has this far been the public face of the most consequential congressional investigations into the Trump administration. Pelosi has clashed repeatedly with the judiciary chair in recent weeks and, according to several sources, has lost confidence in him and prefers to have House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff be the public face for making the case against Trump.

“A shift to Schiff is one of the options,” a Democratic source told Yahoo News.

Multiple party leadership aides on Capitol Hill told Yahoo News on Tuesday that a future inquiry could be moved out of the House Judiciary Committee and into another jurisdiction, including that of a select committee created by Pelosi’s office.

That would signify a marked escalation in Democrats’ pursuit of Trump while at the same time be seen as a slap at Nadler and Judiciary Committee members.

1. Great news! Schiff is the best person to lead the inquiry IMHO.

2. I have to agree with this--particularly with the formation of a Select Committee

but, as much as I respect Nadler, I think we need someone far more decisive in the role of heading these inquiries. Schiff is measured but no pushover.

3. Nadler is too cautious, and we need a salesman

Schiff would be much better at that, IMO.

4. A select committee would let them hand pick their interrogators

There are many good folks across several committees that would make them squirm and spill.

5. A post found on internet hell

In response to impeachment.

We need to explain to the democrats that if we win CWII we can make President Trump president for life.

I guess I'm dense everyday, but that's a topic for another time.

7. I like Nadler, but I think Schiff is a better choice.

12. Same here. Great respect and liking for Jerry Nadler,

but he hasn't come across as a strong figure, and he may be having continued health problems. This is going to be even more grueling.
