MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell humiliated Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) by calling the congressman out on live television.
Mitchell grilled Schiff on why he is fundraising off of the unprecedented indictment of President Donald Trump.
Mitchell said: “Is this, criminal allegation, this indictment, already become too political?
“Donald Trump is raising, you know, a fortune.
“More than s million dollars, a million and a half or more just on the threat of the indictment.
“A large number of politicians, you know, are doing that. You’re fundraising on it.”
Schiff said: “Look, I think that this is going to be certainly a political issue in terms of defending the rule of law. On the one side in terms of, I think, subverting the rule of law on the other.
“But the most important point for me is that this is an affirmation of the fact that no one should be above the law, and that we are all held to account.
“But this is someone who has escaped accountability now for years and years.
“And yes, so I’m going to speak out on it.
“Other people are going to speak out on it.
“I’m going to be pushing back against what Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan are trying to do in the House by running interference and trying to stop or somehow impede or discredit this investigation.
“That’s a continuing and important part of the work I’ve been doing to defend our democracy.”
