Representative Adam Schiff has been a major opponent of President Trump. He does now seem to be backing down as Schiff recently stated that impeachment can be used as a tool to get the Trump administration to reveal documents that he says are being blocked from Congress.
The Dem Rep believes this evidence will prove criminal acts done by the administration.
According to The Daily Wire:
California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff called impeachment “an additional tool” that can be used to expose the “unethical and illegal acts” he attributes to President Donald Trump.

The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee was on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” Sunday to discuss a variety of subjects, including whether impeaching Trump is a practical option for House Democrats, given that the measure is almost certain to be defeated in the Republican-controlled Senate.
“If we conclude that there is no other way to do our jobs, no other way to do the oversight, no other way to show the American people what this president has done — his unethical and illegal acts as outlined in the Mueller report — then we may get [impeachment] … It provides an additional tool.”
Schiff did not specify what illegal acts were revealed in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report. Mueller’s findings showed no evidence to prove the Russian collusion conspiracy theory that insisted the Trump campaign was working with the Russians before the 2016 election.
Schiff also used the opportunity to explain his support for Representative Amash who became the first member of the GOP to come out in favor of impeachment.
