The House is looking to consider a resolution to censure Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) this week after a Republican lawmaker moved to force a vote on the measure.​
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), a member of the conservative Freedom Caucus, called the censure measure to the floor as a privileged resolution Tuesday, forcing action on the legislation. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said the measure would likely come to the floor Wednesday.​
The legislation, which stretches four pages, zeroes in on allegations Schiff made about collusion between Russia and Trump’s team. It argues the California Democrat “abused” the trust he was afforded as chairman and ranking member of the Intelligence Committee, two roles he previously held.​
Luna cites a report from special counsel John Durham that offered a scathing critique of the FBI’s investigation into Trump’s 2016 campaign. Republicans have frequently used the report, issued last month, to bolster their argument that federal agencies have been weaponized against them.​
“[Schiff] abused his position of authority, lied to the American people, cost American tax payers millions, and brought dishonor to our chamber,” Luna said on Twitter.​
The resolution also said Schiff should be fined $16 million if the Ethics Committee, through an investigation, finds that the congressman “lied, made misrepresentations, and abused sensitive information.” That figure is half the amount Luna says the American taxpayers paid to fund the investigation led by Schiff into potential collusion.​
All I can say is bravo to the brave Republicans not afraid of speaking truth to power -

LOL, the Durham report. Again, what happens to Comer who claimed Joe Biden the boss of a crime family? What happens to all those GOP who said the election was stolen? Is this the can of worm they want to open up?

Hey, if the GOP supports fines, how much do you think we should fine Jim Jordan for the multiple *BENGHAZI* investigations? 500 million?

Lotta whataboutisms happening here.

Adam Schiff lied to the American public repeatedly for four years, almost daily and now he is being held accountable. First he was rightly removed from the Intelligence Committee and now being held accountable for his words and actions.

Bravo, it is about time!

Huh.

I was annoyed with Schiff for making such a big deal of it, so I don't really have a problem with this.

It's not about whataboutism, it's if people within Congress really want to open up this can of worms?
