Soon after, users on forums like 4chan, Above Top Secret and Free Republic began posting the rumor that Schiff was related to Soros by marriage.
The rumor then spread to fake news sites.

I totally believe Snopes, cause they never lie, but I have a feeling they don't think too highly of us.
interesting that an organization like snopes is sniffing around on the Forum for opportunities to disinform. (even though Liz did a stand up job of posting the facts behind my question, which debunked the schiff kinship.)
here's an excerpt from their piece (using a tweet dateline: 3/5/19) that gives one an idea of how they can take an untruth/partial truth/plausible truth and launder some know proven truths in the same info laundry and "set the record straight like they do":
To some, the name George Soros invokes the idea of a shadowy Illuminati-like group pulling the strings behind a series of conspiracies. In recent years, he’s been falsely accused of paying Black Lives Matter groups to riot, of orchestrating a “false flag” in Charlottesville, and of bankrolling women to falsely accuse former Senate Candidate Roy Moore of sexual assault. To these people, merely being associated with Soros is enough to totally destroy a person’s credibility. So when Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) was thrust into the political limelight in February 2018, it wasn’t too surprising to see the billionaire investor’s name get tossed once again into the rumor mill.
