You miss my point. Schiff has become, by his own efforts, a target. When you want to find a counter-villain, or simply focus ire, it's best to have a target. If this impeachment inquiry were conducted by committee and there were no face emerging as the leader or organizer of it, Trump would have no option but to fight the substance.
Instead, he's been gifted the ability to focus on Schiff. Hell, Schiff has been on talk shows for years now - at least twice on Bill Maher as I can recall - talking about how he's going to get Trump. Ya think it might be a better idea to have someone else running point on this investigation in the moment? If you're prosecuting a case, the last thing you want is a polarizing prosecutor.

That's brilliant, Sebby. Since Republicans attack any Democratic leaders, Democratics should get rid of leaders and run Congress and their party as an autonomous collective.
My favorite part of your post is the suggestion that Schiff has become a GOP target "by his own efforts." Damn straight! If he didn't want to be delegitimized, why did he get so much seniority in Congress?
