Schiff’s trolling game isn’t working, but even so, two sides can join the fun.
When (if) this thing lumbers over to the Senate for a trial, the president’s backers will stage their own trolling show. They could call Hunter Biden as a witness. Hell, why not call Joe Biden as a witness?
The GOP is already thinking about how to pull a “We’re not locked in here with you — you’re locked in here with us!” moment. Republican senator Richard Burr of North Carolina let slip this prophecy the other day:
“These witnesses that they’re calling are politically motivated,” groused Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) of the GOP. “Republicans are turning this into a partisan issue.” Ya think? AOC may be new in town, but even so, she learns remarkably slowly.“The day the [Senate] takes it up, we go into session six days a week from 12:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m.,” with the trial to last six to eight weeks, which would certainly disrupt Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren’s winter plans to lock up their party’s presidential nomination even as their Senate colleagues are hammering away at all things Biden.
The impeachment inquiry is just the latest label for the two things Adam and the Schiffites have been doing without pause since Trump was elected: showing off their high dudgeon for their activists-and-donors base and trying sweatily to convince the American people that Trump should not hold the office in which the same American people placed him.
Since the White House released details of the Ukraine call on September 24, support for impeachment has ticked up, but not in a game-changing way.
The facts that have dribbled out have simply confirmed the same basic narrative: Trump pushed the Ukrainians to investigate the Bidens. Cue outrage among some, yawns among others. So it has gone for everything Trump has done these last three years.
