Take note – efforts to hold Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff accountable for the lies he spread about former President Donald Trump colluding with Russia to win the 2016 election have now been voted to not move forward with the measure.
Twenty Republicans sided with Democrats, therefore blocking censuring and fining Schiff over his role in the House investigation into Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign. The House voted 225-196 to set aside the resolution which was introduced by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla.
“Today’s partisan and failed attempt to censure me is a badge of honor that I will wear proudly,” Schiff tweeted after the vote. “MAGA Republicans are going after me because I dared to hold Donald Trump accountable.”
Today’s partisan and failed attempt to censure me is a badge of honor that I will wear proudly.
MAGA Republicans are going after me because I dared to hold Donald Trump accountable.
These efforts to intimidate me will not succeed. I will always defend our democracy.

According to MSNBC reports, the Republican’s case against Schiff was “specious and vague,” and some of the “attacks” made by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy were “based on figments of imagination.”

A perfect example of hypocrisy is Rachel Maddow from CNN – the network recently refrained from airing Trump’s remarks after his recent indictment in effort to avoid all of his “lies” – this is the same network, down to its anchors, that pushed Covid-19 vaccine efficacy, discrimination against the unvaccinated, Hunter Biden’s laptop and Russian disinformation, and more.
Corporate MSM tell us they wouldnt televise Trump’s remarks cus he’s a liar but SAME MSM STOOGES told us these LIES👇

In January, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., blocked Schiff and another California Democrat, Rep. Eric Swalwell, from serving on the Intelligence Committee.
Rep. Luna tweeted on Wednesday that she plans on filing another privileged motion, one that would censure Schiff and refer him for an ethics investigation but no mention of a fine.
20 Republicans voted w/ Dems to stop the ethics investigation, censure, & fine of Adam Schiff.
So there is no confusion (as some did not accurately read the bill) I will be filing a privileged motion to censure & send Schiff to ethics for investigation.
See you next week Adam.

If there is nothing to hide, then this shouldn’t be a problem, correct?
