Schiff ‘not backing down’ in face of Republican bid to expel him from Congress
The guardian ^ | May 18, 2023 | Martin Pengelly

Posted on 05/18/2023 3:42:32 PM PDT by lowbridge

Adam Schiff said he was “not backing down”, after a Republican from Florida filed a motion to expel the California representative from Congress.

Referring to the failure the same day of a motion to expel George Santos, the New York fabulist indicted on multiple criminal counts, Schiff said: “When Democrats do something for the right reason, [Republicans] use the precedent to do something for the wrong reason.”

Ana Paulina Luna moved against Schiff after the release of the Durham report, which Republicans claim shows the investigation of Russian election interference and links between Donald Trump and Moscow was a conspiracy between Democrats and the FBI.

Schiff was House intelligence chair and led Trump’s first impeachment, for seeking political dirt in Ukraine. He published a book about the Russia investigation and is now running for Senate.

Luna said Schiff “lied to the American people. He used his position on House intelligence to push a lie that cost American taxpayers millions of dollars and abused the trust placed in him as chairman. He is a dishonour to the House of Representatives.

“The Durham report makes clear that the Russian collusion was a lie from day one and Schiff knowingly used his position in an attempt to divide our country.”

John Durham was appointed to investigate the FBI inquiry, which led to the appointment of the special counsel Robert Mueller. Mueller did not establish collusion between Trump and Moscow but did secure criminal convictions and lay out evidence of potential obstruction of justice.

Durham, he said, spent “four years trying to prove this deep state conspiracy theory that Trump kept telling his base was going to be proven … The whole thing of course, was a big bust.

“When Democrats do something for the right reason”

Is he saying it was perfectly ok to lie his head off to get rid of Trump? It sounds like he is justifying the ultimate political dirty tricks.

Not only should Adam Ant be thrown out of Congress, he needs to be tried for lying, extortion and many other crimes that he has committed. Period.

His work is not done yet.

Trump is still around, and Schiff will do anything to get Trump.

Evil sticks around forever.

Schiff... who knowingly and willfully participated in a proven fraud in the process of trying to carry out a coup attempt against the sitting POTUS. He shouldn’t just be ousted from Congress, but should join all involved (including Hillary) in prison.

He knows he will be protected just as he knows many secrets democrats don’t want to become public.

May I ask, Mr. Schiff, what is the “right reason” for perpetuating fraud? Is it to save the USA from Orange Man Bad?

Schiff, is a pervert who lives in a delusional world, frankly in a normal time he would have been shunned and if continued hanged as a traitor.

Ralph Waldo Emerson — ‘The law of nature is: Do the thing, and you shall have the power, but they who do not the thing have not the power.’

Was never an Emerson admirer, but he perceived something with that.

That is how little adam schiff operates through his lies. I knew he would double down with his lies. Although the Republicans have a majority and could expel the little worm, they won’t. The democrats are even looking at ousting the little worm Santos who does exactly what little adam schiff does, lie with every breath.

But the Republicans are such pu**ies they would not dare step out. And they will probably cave on the debt limit debacle for the same reason.
