I have to post this. It is from 2017 but so much about the man he is today. The man has been a hero in the Impeachment hearings. He is calm and measured in his words and that hit home every time he clarified GOP comments. His summations hit it out of the park each and every time.
The last was a tribute to Cummings. "We are better than that"
2. Schiff majored in political science and pre-med at Stanford University, from which he graduated in 1982. He went on to study law at Harvard University, earning his degree in 1985.
3. As an assistant U.S. attorney in Los Angeles, Schiff gained recognition for his successful prosecution of Richard Miller, an FBI agent who was passing documents to what was then the Soviet Union.
9. Schiff was a member and frequent critic of the House committee investigating the 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya. He pushed for the committee to be disbanded, accusing Republicans of using the committee as a political platform to attack former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
10. Schiff has emerged as a Democratic hero as the ranking member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, on which he has served since 2008, using his skills as a prosecutor to raise concerns about Donald Trump's presidential campaign's possible collusion with Russia. He pointedly stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the committee's chairman, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., but turned on Nunes and called for him to step aside as head of the Russia investigation after Nunes appeared to try to give the Trump administration cover.

I respect him hugely and hope to see him run for President someday.
