The GOP rebuke boosts the Burbank Democrat’s political stock, improving his odds of besting party rivals to succeed Dianne Feinstein as California's next U.S. senator.
Mueller made a strong case for obstruction of justice, but said that under Justice Department policy a sitting president could not be criminally prosecuted.
None of that, however, mattered in the GOP’s show-trial proceeding, where the verdict was preordained and all that mattered was sating the animal spirit of the Republican base. Schiff’s actions “ripped apart American families across the country,” the censure’s lead sponsor, Florida Republican Anna Paulina Luna, proclaimed with no lack of hyperbole. He was “permanently destroying family relationships.”When it came time for Schiff’s formal reprimand — as he stood at the front of the House chamber, having the censure resolution read aloud by Speaker Kevin McCarthy — he was swarmed by fellow Democrats, who clapped him on the back.
“Once more, I have to be on the House floor to listen to MAGA Republicans push false and defamatory lies about me,” Schiff lamented in his fundraising email.
