"Not concerned about it,” Sen. Adam Schiff brushes off GOP calls for DOJ to prosecute him
Visit Ask a Pol ~ interactive political journalism ~ what should we ask Congress next? Let us know!
Who?
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) — Member, Senate Judiciary Committee
Ask a Pol asks:
Curious your thoughts on the new House Oversight Committee report Chair James Comer dropped this week, arguing many of former President Joe Biden’s end-of-term pardons should be voided because they were allegedly signed with an autopen?
Key Schiff:
“I hope there will be an analysis by Republicans of [President Donald] Trump’s pardon of 1,550 people. He must have a very fast hand to have signed all those, so I look forward to Comer announcing that investigation.”
But are you worried at all, because they’re sending the report to DOJ and making a formal case against you, potentially, in the courts?
“No, I’m not concerned about it,” Schiff says. “As I said at the time, I didn’t think President Biden should be issuing pardons.”

Caught our ear:
“It is all part of a broader portrait of an administration that is trying to silence and intimidate critics — at universities and law firms, in private companies, among media organizations — so it’s all part of the same whole,” Schiff tells us. “Very much a part of the wannabe dictator’s playbook.”
