Let me break some news:

Why is Adam Schiff being sworn in more than a month early?

Here’s a possibility.

There’s an important reason and I believe it gives us a clue as to what is about to happen.

Why would Schiff want to leave the House and be a member of the Senate at this critical timeframe before Trump takes office?

I think two reasons.

First, he wants to spearhead the attacks from the democrat side to prevent several of Trump’s nominees from being confirmed. He will most likely be leading that charge and needs the extra time to organize a game plan.

I also think he fears something bigger.

I think he already knows that Speaker Johnson has cut a deal to recess the House.

A lot of people believe that Congress is immune from arrest as long as Congress is in session.

I don’t believe that immunity ever covers treason.

But there are clues that many members of the House, now fear arrest.
Congressman Raskin recently declared himself protected by the Speech or Debate Clause.
He argued that what they’ve done to Trump is covered under that clause and there is a separation of powers issue.

Their fear and panic is real.

Does a separation of powers within the Constitution, protect any members of the government from treason prosecutions?

I would clearly argue no.

So why do I believe that Schiff has been sworn into the Senate early?
I think he knows Johnson is going to recess the House but the Senate will refuse, both under Schumer and the new majority leader, Thune.
Schiff thinks they can win the narrative fight to prevent Trump from using his presidential powers under the constitution.

What are those powers?

Trump can force the Senate into recess if they refuse to go along with the House.

That allows Trump to place all of his nominees in office for two years without confirmation from the Senate.
But it also removes any legal protection from members of Congress for any crimes they’ve committed, even those less than treason because they are no longer in session.

Schiff sees the writing on the wall and realizes that the only play left for him as we go down to the wire on Trump’s Inauguration Day is to try and influence the Senate to put up a fight.
He knows that the House cannot resist anything and there are enough RINOS in the Senate to at least try and resist.

The fact that he couldn’t wait for his normal swearing in, is evidence of pure panic.

NOTHING CAN STOP WHAT’S COMING!
