Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who is running for Senate, unveiled a new Jan. 6-themed advertisement warning that the country faces an “even greater danger” following former President Trump’s win in Iowa. The advertisement, titled “Danger,” touts Schiff’s efforts to hold Trump accountable on various issues as the California congressman battles other Democrats for the Senate seat. Schiff was the lead House manager of Trump’s first impeachment. “When our democracy was in danger, he stood up. Adam Schiff took on a corrupt president. He fought to protect our values and the rule of law,” the ad’s narrator says over clips of...

The Los Angeles Times editorial board has endorsed Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) in the highly competitive race to be California’s next senator. With the growing possibility of Trump securing the GOP presidential nomination, the Times board argued that Schiff is needed in the Senate now more than ever. “Given the increasingly authoritarian statements from Donald Trump, the possibility he could return to the White House and the Republican Party’s lockstep loyalty to him, the Senate needs Schiff, a battle-tested and thoughtful leader who has demonstrated he can rise to the moment,” they wrote. Schiff’s appointment to those critical roles shows...

Whenever a democrat talks about saving the democracy, what he or she means is to destroy it. Leading the charge to wreck the United States forever is Adam Schiff. You might remember that Schiff is notorious for his mendacity. Because if there’s one thing that comes through in the report from Obama-appointed Department of Justice Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz, and from his testimony on Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, it is this:Schiff is a dissembler, a prevaricator, a distortionist, a spreader of falsehoods. In Chicago we use the short word: liar.It was Schiff who insisted all along that...

House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) appears to have misrepresented impeachment evidence that was used during the House Democrats’ impeachment investigation, according to a report from Tuesday evening. According to documents obtained by Politico, text messages between Lev Parnas and Rudy Giuliani were "mischaracterized" by Schiff in a letter sent to House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler last week. "In one section of the letter, Schiff claims that Parnas 'continued to try to arrange a meeting with President Zelensky,' citing a specific text message exchange where Parnas tells Giuliani: 'trying to get us mr Z.' The remainder of the exchange —...

A few people have started looking at the connections behind Mark Zaid, the attorney for CIA “whistleblower” Eric Ciaramella. What is starting to emerge is evidence of what CTH outlined yesterday; the current impeachment process is part of a coup continuum, and everything around the whistleblower is part of a long-ago planned and pre-constructed operation. Two strong examples are very poignant: Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq "It's very scary. We will get rid of him, and this country is strong enough to survive even him and his supporters. We have to" 9:45 PM · Jul 1, 2017 AND Mark S. Zaid...

Adam Schiff was knee-deep in the Trump Russia collusion sham. He was involved way back in July 2016. John Durham just confirmed it. John Durham released some documents yesterday related to the Trump – Russia collusion sham created by the Hillary Clinton gang. We reported on this earlier. There is much in this latest release but one item, in particular, is that Adam Schiff was involved in this lie from the beginning. Redstate reports: Durham also derides the claim that Fusion was hired for legal work — calling that a “novel” way to cover up opposition research and the derogatory...

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that he believed there were hundreds of “cowards” in the Republicans Party who enable former President Donald Trump to tear down of our institutions.

Embattled Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., found himself in the center of a political storm as documents recently surfaced, revealing that he has maintained a residence in Maryland for more than a decade while representing California’s 21st district. Mortgage records and financial disclosures obtained by CNN indicated that Schiff claimed a 3,420-square-foot property in Maryland as his primary residence, alongside a smaller 650-square-foot condo in Burbank, California. The documents, however, also uncovered his alleged utilization of the California address to mitigate a substantial $7,000 tax bill. The timing of this bombshell comes as Schiff seeks the vacant U.S. Senate seat in...

Burbank Mayor Konstantine Anthony has withdrawn his endorsement of U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff in the race to replace the late Dianne Feinstein in the U.S. Senate. While Anthony touts Schiff’s support of “women, LGBTQ individuals, gun violence prevention activists, and labor unions,” he said he cannot back Schiff given the congressman’s support of Israel in the ongoing battle against Hamas. Anthony, who recently received backlash for his participation in a spanking by a drag queen at a private event, supports a ceasefire and a peaceful solution to the fighting, he said in his statement. The mayor added that the “only...

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that the walls were closing in on former President Donald Trump while discussing ABC News reporting that former President Donald Trump’s last chief of staff Mark Meadows was granted immunity to testify under oath in the federal election interference case. Schiff said, “I think it is very big news. In a way, it’s not surprising. People never expected Mark Meadows to be a Steve Bannon, you know, gleefully riding into jail on behalf of Donald Trump. That is not Mark Meadows. He never signed up to go to jail. He...

This week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) selected Maryland resident Laphonza Butler to fill the US Senate seat vacated by the death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Fred Jordan, chairman of the board of the San Francisco African American Chamber of Commerce, called the pick "completely unfair to the Democrats that have worked their tail off. The most qualified person for this job is Rep. Barbara Lee. She is the black woman the Governor should have appointed. Not some out-of-stater." Newsom defended his pick, saying that "not only is Ms. Butler Black, she is also a lesbian. This makes her ascension...

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), one of the candidates running to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein in 2024, paid tribute to the groundbreaking California Democrat after her death was announced Friday morning. “Today, the nation has truly lost a giant of the U.S. Senate, California has lost its trail-blazing leader, and I lost a real friend and mentor,” Schiff’s statement said. “Senator Dianne Feinstein was one of the finest legislators we have ever seen, and her accomplishments made our country and world a better place.” Feinstein served three decades as a California senator before dying at the age of 90, making her...

In two particularly egregious cases, Schiff channeled millions in funding to Smiths Detection and Phasebridge, Inc., two defense companies within his district – with $6 million steered to Smiths Detection and $3 million to Phasebridge. Both moves would have been barred under reforms adopted in 2010. This financial maneuvering coincided with Schiff receiving $8,500 in contributions from PMA Group PAC and two family members of Paul Magliocchetti, founder and owner of the lobbying firm retained by both defense companies.

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that he believed House Republicans were peddling falsehoods that are “putting people’s lives at risk.” Discussing Attorney General Merrick Garland’s hearing before the House Judiciary Committee, anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “You’re someone who has been targeted by Donald Trump. I won’t repeat, but I remember some of the harsh and brutal and personal insults and attacks against you, and I wonder what you thought, if that was triggering or if you have words of wisdom for this DOJ workforce and FBI workforce now under unprecedented threat.

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that he believed Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) opening an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden was part of an “evidence-free impeachment proceeding.” Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “With Republican House members confession that there’s zero evidence linking President Joe Biden to anything worthy of an impeachment. What do you make of the sham? We call it an impeachment inquiry.”

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said the impeachment inquiry into President Biden is just a way for Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to “cling to” the speakership and fend off any immediate challenges from far-right members threatening to remove him. “His only reason for being is to try to cling to that job,” Schiff said of McCarthy, in an interview on MSNBC’s “The Last Word.” “And he’s being whipsawed, in this case, by the Matt Gaetzs, who are threatening to bring him down, and by others, who are threatening to bring him down over the budget.” “So he’s going into this confluence...

Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff was blasted by conservatives on social media Wednesday after implying that Republicans want to impeach President Biden without any evidence. "The Republican desire to impeach someone, anyone, no matter whether there’s any evidence, just shows how they have descended into chaos," Schiff, D-Calif., told FOX Business on Wednesday. He was responding to rumblings from members of the GOP that impeaching President Biden over his alleged ties to his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings and alleged pay schemes is on the table. But Schiff, the lead House impeachment manager against President Donald Trump, was widely mocked on...

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) challenged Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) to a fight on the House floor, according to reports. The situation turned aggressive after Swalwell blasted McCarthy over Rep. Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) censure vote. On June 21, the day Republicans voted to censure Schiff, Swalwell was standing in the well of the House near the speaker’s podium and heckled McCarthy. “This is pathetic,” Swalwell yelled at McCarthy, who was presiding over the House at the time. “You’re weak. You’re a weak man.” McCarthy was furious, with one member telling The Daily Beast, “He had a vein popping out of...

Mark Hamill says the force is with Rep. Adam Schiff, with the “Star Wars” actor making a fundraising pitch for the California Democrat’s Senate bid. “Over the last six years, our democracy has been tested like never before. And in those dark times, Adam gave me hope,” a Monday email from Schiff’s Senate campaign and signed by Hamill said. “Hope that our democracy would survive. Hope that not only would we get through this, but that we would come out on the other side and our democracy could be strong again,” said the actor.
