The Durham Report found that Schiff was complicit in the Russia Collusion hoax.
QUICK FACTS:
- Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) has filed a resolution to remove Adam Schiff (D-CA) from Congress.
- “This evening, Rep. Luna filed a resolution, H. Res. 412, to expel Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) from the United States House of Representatives,” reads Luna’s press release.
- “Adam 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 dishonor to the House of Representatives,” she said.
- The Florida representative went on to say that 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.”
- Schiff had claimed for several years that he had evidence that Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 election. But Durham’s report instead found that Schiff and several other government agencies and individuals used taxpayer dollars to conduct a manufactured, fraudulent investigation.
- Rather than accept his role in the fraud, Schiff claimed his actions defended “the rule of law,” as he “stood up to Donald Trump and held extreme MAGA forces accountable.”
HOUSE SPEAKER KEVIN MCCARTHY’S SIMILAR SENTIMENT:
- Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) also considered removing Schiff from Congress, telling reporters, “We’re asking Durham to come in and testify so we can look at it more.”
- “It really raises the question about Adam Schiff. Remember when he told the American people he had proof? Remember when he told them he didn’t know the whistleblower and what he put America through and openly lied to us? And now it’s proven in this as well,” the speaker continued.
- “It raises a lot of questions about his, just his character, his standing inside of Congress, and whether he should even be in Congress,” McCarthy concluded.
- In another interview, McCarthy told Maria Bartiromo, “They took America through an impeachment over a lie that they knew. You had Adam Schiff, who was chairman of the Intel Committee, lying day after day to the American public that he had proof, that he knew the proof.”
- “Now we’re finding in the Durham Report his own staff are threatened witnesses,” McCarthy added. “I mean, why is this individual still even in Congress? And why does he think he can even run for higher office after what he did?”
BACKGROUND:
- Special Counsel John Durham’s report concluded that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) should not have launched an investigation into links between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia in 2016.
- The report detailed the FBI’s severely flawed investigation, concluding the “Department and the FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report.”
- “Our investigation also revealed that senior FBI personnel displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor towards the information that they received, especially information received from politically affiliated persons and entities,” Durham noted in the report.
