The bold is in your original, btw.

I think when Trump is acquitted, Schiff's handling of the matter will be viewed as a lot of the reason why.
If and when Republican Senators decline to object to Trump's corruption and manifest unfitness for office, they will try to duck responsibility, and you will be buying it. The passive tense is very useful here -- Schiff's handling "will be viewed" as the reason -- there's an object, but we don't talk about the subject of the sentence. It's like the Never Trump Dance

The Never Trump Dance

Please nominate a Democrat we can vote for!

No not that one.
Nothing is ever the Republicans' fault. If only Democrats had done something different.
