What silly thinking on the part of Messie.
The House would not be “laying claim” to $16M from the lying, treacherous Schiff, it would be a fine. A penalty. A punishment for a despicable criminal act.
So Messie is saying that Republicans are going to conduct themselves in the same manner as Schiff, so he doesn’t want them subject to a fine? What a putz. ANYONE who does what Schiff did SHOULD be fined....party affiliation irrelevant!
IMHO what is at the bottom of this fining business is Massie is worried about himself.
He was fined by Nasty for not wearing a mask in the Capitol and I guess this hasn’t been settled yet so he is comparing the two things.
APL is trying to explain to him the 2 things are NOT the same.
Massie is TOTALLY self-serving!

A 16 million dollar fine is Adam Schiff getting off easy.
He should be expelled, arrested, and spend the rest of his life in prison for his treason.
He’s going to laugh at a meaningless, toothless censure.
My how things change when it comes to fining a political party.
“For nearly two years, the House ethics committee investigated this and other Democratic allegations.”
“In the end, the House voted overwhelmingly, 395-28, to reprimand Gingrich and to fine him $300,000.”..........................”Talking about the case Wednesday at the Republican Jewish Coalition, he said he should have fought back harder against the Democratic ethics assault.”

Yes Newt Gingrich YOU should have. THAT IS the problem with Republicans. THEY DON’T FIGHT BACK.
