I truly admire Adam Schiff ...

… for his intellect, his ability to convey complex ideas in simple terms, his skill as an interviewer, his grasp of language, his straightforwardness – and of course, his patriotism and sense of duty.

But what I admire most is his ability to sit there and listen to David Nunes without jumping up, leaning over, and smacking that smirk off his fuckin' face.

I think that takes more self-discipline than most of us are capable of.

I have to turn off the volume every time Nunes the Russian Asset speaks. Reminds me I want to donate to any opponent he has...

And thank him for professionalism, and how he conducts himself. If it were me every time Nunes spoke I'd start eating laughing cow cheese to make the fool feel stupid at a higher level. Thank you Rep Schiff , you're doing an amazing job.

I could not keep a straight face or stop taking notes to rebutt Nunes and Jordan.

I hope Jerry Nadler can handle Republicans when his committee takes over.

Chairman Adam Schiff does not let moo nunes and his band of goons hijack these hearings.

quick comprehension of the smoke and mirrors thrown his way, and his ability to cut through that, is admirable.
And stick to the important things.

I guess Republicans can't handle that!

It’s like dealing with a spoiled brat you can’t discipline. All you can do is wait I out and be thankful as hell it’s not your kid.

especially not smacking Devin. I'd add Gym Jordan though, it must take a whole lot of self-control to be in a room with those two and not smack someone.
