I don't know what it takes to impeach Schiff, but he is not immune to it, no one who holds a position in government is.

Not true. The phrase "civil officers" in the Impeachment Clause is traditionally interpreted as referring to people that have been appointed by the President. This interpretation was reinforced in 1797 when the House attempted to impeach a senator. The Senate voted that members of Congress are not considered civil officers.
You can also check Hinds' Precedents for this interpretation.

The same day the House voted to impeach Blount, the Senate voted to expel him. The charges were ultimately dismissed as the House did not have jurisdiction.
Like I said, check Hinds' Precedents.

Brennan should be an easy target, he has perjured himself many times. I would like to see him get the same treatment as Roger Stone.

EVERYONE did know it.
Don't act like I was some wild card who got everything wrong.
What everyone didnt know what that trump was going to cheat. Like he is trying to do again.
He kept talking about a rigged election. We should have known the way he projects that he was rigging the election.
