The House of Representatives voted to censure Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) late Wednesday for his role in the probe of the Trump-Russia hoax.
Members voted along party lines, 212-208, in favor of the resolution, with four Republicans voting present and six not voting.

Ahead of the vote, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif) tweeted that Schiff “abused his position as Chair of Intel [Intelligence Committee] to lie and lead America through a national nightmare with the fake Russia collusion narrative. As Speaker, I removed him from the Intel Committee, and now the full House will vote to censure him and open an ethics investigation.”
H. Res. 489, introduced earlier this month by Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and a handful of other Republicans, noted that “for years Representative Schiff abused this trust by citing evidence of collusion that—as is clear from reports by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, and Special Counsel Durham—does not exist” and that he repeatedly told “falsehoods” and “purposely deceived his Committee, Congress, and the American people.”
Moreover, “Schiff lent credibility to the Steele dossier—a collection of debunked collusion accusations funded by President Trump’s political rivals—by reading false Steele allegations into the Congressional Record” in 2017.
The resolution accused Schiff of composing “a false memo justifying the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant application on Trump associate Carter Page, which Inspector General Horowitz later found was riddled with 17 major mistakes and omissions.”

Schiff will now be referred to the Ethics Committee for an investigation. He is running for the Senate in California, where he’ll likely be hailed as a hero.

Is he being fined?
A Democrat merit badge. Whoopie.
Well he lied, in order to deceive the voting public whom he is supposed to serve and represent. So a bit of an ethics violation.
I want all his assets confiscated
At least
Censure is a bland joke.
Then Schiffhead can go to prison, where he belongs!
Censure for Schiff is a “sweetheart” deal.
He should be charged,tried and convicted of treason and marched in front of a firing squad.
They took away the fines to please Massie and few others and this is a meaningless gesture.
Whoopteedoo.
Big woop. 🙄
Along with the rest of the kkkommiecrats!
I would like to know more about those who failed to vote against Schiff. Why?? And why should they not be primaried??
This was an important vote.
.
Schiff said it’s a Badge of Honor.
.
I wish it wasn’t toothless.

The article says he will run for the Senate next and probably be elected. He’ll have plenty of like-minded cronies to hang out with there.
Bullets are expensive. A rope can be re-used. March him to a gallows instead.
Marxist traitor deserves far more than that.
He lies to America to try and overthrow the duly elected president and he gets censured. Wow. Is that better or worse than a sternly worded letter? He should be summarily tossed from any government position and tried for treason.
So, in keeping score:
Biden - two misdemeanors and a slap on the wrist for a felony for lying on a Gun Permit
Adam Schiff gets a Censure and an applause from his fellow Komrades.
Yup, equal Justice.
Damn, the Pubbies are tough!
Can’t wait for my good friend, the_Watchman, has to correct me for being right.
I'd be very surprised if they did. They probably removed that stipulation in order to get it passed. Same chicken-shit Republicans.
