“The majority has placed the interests of protecting the president over protecting the country,” Schiff said. “And history will judge its actions harshly.”

“No way yet to evaluate the rush to fire Andrew McCabe,” Schiff said on Twitter, but added it is “no coincidence” officials who corroborate Comey have been targeted.

Schiff also pointed out on Twitter that President Trump’s attacks on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation come after Mueller subpoenaed Trump’s private businesses for any documents relating to Russia.
