You know things are looking a bit dire when your former congressional BFF and longtime House Intelligence Committee ally is dropping completely out of politics due to numerous rape and sexual misconduct allegations stretching back years, and that’s not the worst narrative you’re facing this week.

But alas, Sen. Adam Schiff of California — while distancing himself from his former buddy Eric Swalwell — is probably a bit grateful that potential criminal charges from a growing throng of women are distracting people from his own unforced error. “There, by the grace of God, goes someone else,” one can hear Schiff saying.

So, in case you’re catching up, Schiff has been responding vociferously to stories in the media that President Donald Trump plans to pardon members of his administration as he leaves office because the Democrats have made it clear they want legal scalps. And, given what they did to Trump, we know they mean it.

How true these stories are and what the pardons will cover is kind of amorphous at this point, and Trump himself has provided little light on that. But Schiff is a man who makes hay when the sun shines, even when he gets some serious sunburn doing it.
