Already impaired by widely-reported mental decline, Senator Dianne Feinstein returned to the Senate two weeks ago after a nearly three-month absence as she battled shingles. Last week, in a Capitol Hill encounter with reporters, Feinstein appeared to be unaware that she’d been gone from the Senate, declaring, “No, I’ve been here. I’ve been voting.”
Writing about the spectacle, we observed that a long-overdue Feinstein resignation “would go against the interests of her handlers who’d surely like to keep their Senate jobs as long as possible.”
While that’s certainly one reason to keep pushing a wheelchair-bound, mentally failing and physically frail Feinstein around Capitol Hill to push voting buttons, a more complex conspiracy has emerged: Rep. Adam Schiff wants her seat and desperately wants Feinstein to hang on through the 2024 election.
Why is that so crucial to him? If Feinstein resigns, California Gov. Gavin Newsom would appoint a senator to fill the seat until 2024. Newsom has already promised to appoint a black woman in that event, and one of Schiff’s declared opponents is California Rep. Barbara Lee. If appointed, she’d enter the 2024 race with the power of incumbency.
The plot gets thicker: Nancy Pelosi has endorsed Schiff in the Senate race and — upon her return to Washington — Feinstein has been frequently accompanied by a mystery woman, whom Politico has now identified as Pelosi’s eldest daughter, Nancy Corinne Prowda.
Always disagreed with her politics but she’s been reduced to a cadaver. Makes Bribem look robust. Elder abuse.
Schiff needs to go no more of him take his woke butt into permanent retiirement.
Wow, that is one scary looking woman. Almost like she is already a cadaver.
