Adam Schiff censured

[Hank77]

Listen to the video - After 5 minutes of whining and disrupting the Speaker - The speaker says the committee on ethics shall conduct and investigation. I screen captured it with the sub titles for your convenience.

That is what I mean.

Of course, another investigation. They should be experts at it by now so it should be shorter and not cost the taxpayers as much as their past worthless investigations. Funny I was sure they were elected to legislate, weren't they?

Everybody with a brain knows that all these court cases and investigations are nothing more than banana republic style attacks on an a political opponent. They hate Trump and will do anything, destroy anyone, by any means necessary and and any mean possible to prevent him from running in the 2024 election. That is the political scene today in a nutshell.

 

[disciple Clint]

Who said that? Nobody here did.

This will be a badge of honor for Schiff for trump's retribution and his lackeys in Congress doing his bidding out of fear of being attacked on trumps social app.

Schiff has no honor which is what the point is of this whole action.

 

[Hans Blaster]

Can someone point out what violations of the House Rules Mr. Schiff is accused of?

Did he have an affair with a staffer?
Did he misuse campaign funds or violate campaign finance law?
Did he defame a fellow member?
Something else?

These are the typical things the Ethics Committee investigates. Can someone cite a suspected violation of House Rules (preferably with a reference to the rule itself)?

37 (31 felony counts for espionage)Indictments in the Classified documents case. He refused to hand over top secret documents which included military and nuclear information.

34 indictments in NY state of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree

Hush money case. He paid $130,000 to silence a woman who he had an affair with, which his lawyer already went to prison for. The reason he was not charged because he was president.

Georgia election interference. He tried to get Georgia to change the results of the election

January 6th - He attempted a coup on the United States.

He was found liable for sexually abusing a woman and is ordered to pay 5 million, and another case is pending and he will be found guilty again.

This is corruption the likes we have never seen before in American politics.

Everybody with a brain knows that nobody is above the law, and trump's attempt to turn America into a banana republic almost worked.

I don't hate trump - I believe all criminals should be punished for their crimes and not allowed to rule over the country.

This is about real crimes, not politics. Certainly you would want somebody who may have robbed your home to go to prison? yes? Well we want to see a person so corrupt never to lead this nation again.

Sure glad the GOP-run House has fixed inflation, health care and immigration so they have time for empty virtue signaling like this.

The Durham investigation is off topic in this thread, it's about the GOP censuring one of their political opponents for telling the truth about the Mueller investigation.

Accusation in a mirror.

Trump has already twice admitted to committing fraud with Trump University and Trump Foundation. His organization was found guilty of fraud, for which he must accept responsibility. He's guilty of sexual assault. He was in possession of classified documents. None of these facts are debatable.

 

[Fantine]

So you claim, without evidence.
Good thing 213 patriots representing the people see the real truth.

The evidence is the Mueller Report and the recognition of Russian collaboration with Trump operatives by the Senate. Schiff was working with the same facts in the House.
Sadly, 213 House members believe in faux-called alternative facts, under threat by Trump, and hence their railroading an innocent colleague.
While the man of countless identities and invented accomplishments, George Santos, is accepted.

There is no reason for Democrats to try to prevent Trump from running. Trump getting t he nomination is a near guarantee of a Biden win.

Here is the OP:

Lock Schiff up!

Now the ethics committee will do its work.

You will note - the thread is NOT about Trump.

 

[childeye 2]

He obviously should have fact-checked that report before spreading the misinformation.
Now he suffers the consequences.

Durham agreed with everything that Schiff said was in the Mueller report. Your statement therefore comes across as demented because it asserts Schiff deserves punishment for not fact checking the Mueller report.

Tell that to the person I responded to.

Why was Schiff censored? Because alleged lies about trump! Who was the Mueller report about? trump,. Or am I not allowed to say that....

 

[USincognito]

I'm sure Schiff's spin on it by calling it a "badge of honor" will calm them down.

Who needs to be calmed down? Everything I'm reading shows most politically astute folks know this is joke.

 

[USincognito]

He was censured for constantly promoting misinformation about Trump which proved to be false. He most likely won't be the last to face the music for it.

No, not really.

But you'll be fine in 2025 when Dens take the house back and censure Jordan, Comer, Gaetz, et. al., for their lies about Hunter and Luna for her lies about Schiff I assume.

 

[USincognito]

Hmmm the left doesn't like it too much when Justice comes after one of them..

Capitalizing the j doesn't make this post less silly. Censure is by it's very nature a political act. Even if based on facts, and this one ironically isn't, it's not a the application of justice.

Allow me to parse the semantics in the allegation below.

Whereas 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;

The above allegation is what Schiff's accusers got wrong when claiming the Mueller, Horowitz, Durham reports, state that "collusion" does not exist. Because Mueller specifically writes: “Collusion is not a specific offense or theory of liability found in the United States Code, nor is it a term of art in federal criminal law.”

col·lu·sion
NOUN

secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy, especially in order to cheat or deceive others:

co·op·er·ate
[kōˈäpəˌrāt]

VERB
work jointly toward the same end:

Mueller does not use the term "collusion" and he specifically made note of that. Instead, he uses the terms "conspire" and "coordinate". This nuance is probably lost on the general public, but the term "collusion" is about "cooperating" as compared to "coordinating". As pertains to not "coordinating" with the Russian government in the Mueller Report, please note the qualifier at the end of the following statement "interference activities".

Mueller report:
“Although the investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the [Trump] Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”

“we understood coordination to require an agreement—tacit or express—between the Trump Campaign and the Russian government on election interference. That requires more than the two parties taking actions that were informed by or responsive to the other’s actions or interests.”

“While the investigation identified numerous links between individuals with ties to the Russian government and individuals associated with the Trump Campaign, the evidence was not sufficient to support criminal charges. Among other things, the evidence was not sufficient to charge any Campaign official as an unregistered foreign agent of the Russian government or other Russian principal. And our evidence about the June 9, 2016 meeting and Wikileaks’s releases of hacked materials was not sufficient to charge that any member of the Trump Campaign conspired with representatives of the Russian government to interfere in the 2016 election.”

Further, the Office learned that some of the individuals we interviewed or whose conduct we investigated — including some associated with the Trump Campaign — deleted relevant communications or communicated during the relevant period using applications that feature encryption or that do not provide for long-term retention of data or communications records. In such cases, the Office was not able to corroborate witness statements through comparison to contemporaneous communications or fully question witnesses about statements that appeared inconsistent with other known facts.

Accordingly, while this report embodies factual and legal determinations that the Office believes to be accurate and complete to the greatest extent possible, given these identified gaps, the Office cannot rule out the possibility that the unavailable information would shed additional light on (or cast in a new light) the events described in the report.

Indeed. It has come down to petty attacks against each other in the House. Why can't they just do their jobs for Americans instead of all of this childishness? But, when is hit one tends to strike back. So far what have the republicans done other than seek retribution? I mean Hunter Biden? We all see what they are doing, and it is nothing but an attack on the President.
