On Tuesday, Rep. Luna announced that the House would vote to censure and fine Rep. Schiff on Thursday morning.
According to the office of House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.), a procedural vote on the measure is scheduled for Wednesday.
The vote will be at 2:30 PM EST.
Any Republican who doesn’t vote for the resolution is exposing their real colors as members of the Deep State.
Luna argues that his behavior represents a betrayal of public trust and undermines the integrity of the legislative process.
“Representative Schiff exploited his position on HPSCI (House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence) to promote and excuse abusive intelligence investigations of Americans for political purposes,” Luna declared, making clear her indignation over the actions of her colleague.
“The American taxpayers shelled out $32 million to fund an investigation into collusion launched as a result of Representative Schiff’s lies, misrepresentations, and abuses of sensitive information,” said Luna.
The representative from Florida called for Schiff to be held financially accountable, proposing that Schiff should bear the burden of $16 million, half of the total investigation cost. This suggestion comes following an investigation conducted by the Committee on Ethics, which found that Schiff lied, misrepresented, and misused sensitive information.
“Be it resolved,” Luna stated firmly, “that the House of Representatives censures and condemns Adam Schiff for conduct that misleads the American people in a way that is unbecoming of an elected member of the House of Representatives.”
On Wednesday, a group of House Republicans decided not to support the censure of Schiff, a move that is rather perplexing.
...... Snip......
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said he plans to vote no on Luna’s resolution to censure Schiff, claiming it is unconstitutional.

Find them unconstitutional = Fine them unconstitutional
Is it about precedent? There are plenty of House members who have been censured in the past. Is it Favors?
“Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said he plans to vote no on Luna’s resolution to censure Schiff, claiming it is unconstitutional.”
Massie is an incompetent boob.
L
Agree.
Massie also voted Yes on the debt limit spending pkg.
Alligator mouth and hummingbird ass.
Good ole principled Republicans with their noses in the air, who can’t do anything but bloviate.
This is the same hypocrite who would sanctimoniously vote against “unconstitutional” funding measures in the House when he was on the losing side of a 420-5 vote, but who buckled and signed off on the debt ceiling measure a couple of weeks ago when he could have stopped the thing in its tracks.
.... and this is why I registered Independent after 45 years of being a Republican.
reps that vote no are wanting there 30 seconds of good press.
(Alligator mouth and hummingbird ass.)
Lmao 🤣 Now that’s a hell of a way to put it! I’ve never heard that one before 😆.
What is it with Kentucky
Turtle / Maddie /. May be wrong but Al Gore!!!!
I'd like this jackass to explain how it can be unconstitutional to make Adam Sch!tt pay for his own fake investigation.
Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member. -- U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 5, Clause 2)
Not agreeing or disagreeing, but I think that's why Massie is against it. It not that he doesn't think Schiff is a creep - he does. I imagine he believes majority party censure of the other party is just a bad cycle to engage in.
I did so, earlier today.
85% of America will NEVER vote for the backstabbing,
endlessly treasonous and lying GOP again,
until the White Hats hang those guilty of treason,
followed by decimation for the rest of the
GOP treason-pedophile-adrenochrome-childrape-supporters.
I generally like Massie but it is clear he may be educated beyond his intelligence AKA too smart by half.
Yes he has impressive academic credentials but he doesn’t seem to have a lick of common sense.
Let’s hope he basically stands alone.
How about some LAWFARE against that traitorous Schiff you worthless republicans? Bankrupt the sob like he would do to any of you!!!!
Where is the list of republicans?
