Just asking.

Let him repair counter-intelligence and Fascist proof it with new DOJ procedures.

(14,959 posts)because there's a lot of shit which Trump was stonewalling them on. Stuff that really needs to be properly investigated and remedied.
I'd vote for him when DiFi's seat is next open though.

(15,083 posts)But I like him as Chair of the House Intelligence Committee. He has a lot of work to do starting in January.
Xavier Becerra - California AG - is another option.

(65,001 posts)I think he's a likely candidate to be the dems' next leader. If Nancy steps down as speaker, Adam is likely next SoH.
If he goes to the Senate, he is a rookie in the minority party. (Assuming Georgia doesn't go the way we hope.)
He's got more clout where he is.

(33,513 posts)...but I also love his eloquence and sharp justice driven mind, coupled with some righteous and appropriate but controlled anger.
I just want to see more of him.
I have no dog to hunt in this, and really no right to comment, since I'm merely an ex-Californian. When I was there Randy Cunningham, who may or may not be in jail, was my Congressperson. Ick! I also lived there when Deukmejian and Wilson were Governors, and even, briefly, when Reagan was Governor. I had the pleasure of voting for Jerry Brown in his first Governorship.
I used to think of California as a very right wing state, especially when I lived in San Diego, and I'm very pleased that people like Schiff and Harris and Porter represent modern California. It gives me hope for other states.

And she got reelected by over 7%, this week.

I just want a ferocious bulldog AG to investigate, prosecute & seize all traitors' assets. Every. Single. One.
Schiff has a brilliant legal mind!

(3,401 posts)Not knocking Nancy but she said limited herself I believe.

Xolodno
(6,390 posts)Recollect that he was interested in the Senate at one point. And I believe Newsom is eying DiFi's seat.

(3,696 posts)I think we have enough White men in the Senate. Everyone talks about Black women being the backbone of the Dem party yet we are barely represented in higher political office or the Courts. If Feinstein retires Schiff can run for that seat if he's interested in being a Senator.
