Reporter threatens legal action against Adam Schiff after Twitter Files bombshell...'We are exploring legal options, including defamation,' Paul Sperry told Brian Kilmeade

A reporter indicated that he may sue Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., after internal documents at Twitter revealed the Democrat tried to get him banned from the platform.

Elon Musk and journalist Matt Taibbi’s "Twitter Files" entry last week revealed that Schiff lobbied Twitter to suspend journalist Paul Sperry from the social media site in November 2020.

Sperry, a senior reporter for RealClearInvestigations.com and a New York Post columnist, told Fox's Brian Kilmeade that he was targeted by Schiff because of his reporting on Democrat sources in President Donald Trump's first impeachment trial.

"So, Schiff didn't like the fact I outed his anonymous whistleblower as a partisan Democrat — he's a holdover from the Obama White House working in the Trump White House. And [Schiff] also didn't like the fact that I exposed the whistleblower's prior relationship with the key member of Schiff's impeachment staff," Sperry said.

"So, I was kind of a thorn in Schiff's side, and he was angry," he continued.

The journalist called it "outrageous" that the powerful Democrat would try to "silence" the press.

"My stories went viral on Twitter, and he tried to silence me and remove content, which is outrageous censorship by a powerful government official. He was the head of the House Intelligence [Committee] at the time, and he was sworn to protect the First Amendment and free speech and the press," he told Kilmeade.

Isn’t that a Civil Rights violation?

I bet America’s KGB will be all over it.

Schiff appears to be one of those ‘domestic enemies’ that are referenced solemnly somewhere..

A case could *easily* be made that it's a Constitutional violation, and a violation of his oath of office.

Schiff needs to be fired and arrested immediately.

Understood. But it still *needs* to happen.

It won't, unfortunately.

It’s time to sue the damn lying thuggy democrats.

Good people might not win every case (lots of stupid corrupt democrats on juries) but it’ll make these evil totalitarians think twice before trying to roll innocent citizens in the future. Adam Schiff showed malice attempting to destroy people using the power of his position. Sue ‘em all...

Remember when Adam Schiff-for-brains said he had PERSONALLY SEEN the evidence of “Russia Collusion” (that we now know never existed)?

And he went on TV and said it, and also during official proceedings?

And how they investigated for 2 more years when they knew it was a hilLIARy manufactured lie, after 2 days?

And how they JAILED and BANKRUPTED people during those 2 years?

That was funny.

Sue. Sure, that always works. In years if at all.

Nice try but it is going to take something a lot quicker and final to stop the mess we are in.

Both the ballot box and the court have failed too many times already.
