House Resolution to Fine Shifty Schiff

[RMNIXON]

GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna seeks $16 million fine against Adam Schiff for 'lies' about Trump-Russia collusion

The fine is roughly half the cost of the Trump-Russia probe, which found no collusion







FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., introduced a resolution that would fine Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., $16 million for his claims that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.

Luna says that amount is about half of the cost of the federal investigation into alleged Trump-Russia collusion, which was debunked by special counsel reports from both Robert Mueller and John Durham.

"The GOP Conference agrees that Adam Schiff has betrayed the trust of the American people, purposely abused positions of extreme authority, lied continuously, and as such, must be held to account," Luna said. "Accordingly, the resolution requires Rep. Schiff to pay a $16 million dollar fine, half of the cost American taxpayers were forced to pay for the Russia hoax investigation."

Luna’s resolution said as chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), Schiff had a position of "extreme trust" that gave him access to sensitive information not available to other members, but Schiff "abused this trust" by citing evidence of collusion that later special counsel reports showed did not exist.

"By repeatedly telling these falsehoods, Representative Schiff purposely deceived his Committee, Congress, and the American people," the resolution said. It noted that Schiff "lent credibility" to the Steele dossier, supported a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant against Trump aide Carter Page, and publicly accused Page of being a Russian collaborator.

"Representative Schiff exploited his positions on HPSCI to encourage and excuse abusive intelligence investigations of Americans for political purposes," it said. "Representative Schiff used his position and access to sensitive information to instigate a fraudulently based investigation, which he then used to amass political gain and fundraising dollars."

"American taxpayers paid $32 million to fund the investigation into collusion that was launched as a result of Rep. Schiff’s lies, misrepresentations, and abuses of sensitive information," it added.

The resolution "censures and condemns" Schiff for "conduct that misleads the American people in a way that is not befitting an elected Member of the House" and declares that Schiff is fined $16 million.

I actually like the idea of this, it sets a great example

A good percentage of the congress still believes that this Trump / Russia illusion and conspiracy actually exists in spite of no evidence.

I have no idea if this will get much traction in the House, but it is not good press for Rep. Schiff and his campaign for CA State Senator. The Party can pick and choose because any Democrat is certain to win.

If they want to assign 50% of the cost of the Mueller investigation to Schiff, they actually owe him money, since that investigation took in more money than it spent.

I think it is important to point out that this is not about running a failed investigation. The reprimand is that Rep. Schiff knew he had nothing of legal substance just like Mueller, but kept on going for political headlines that effect National elections.

And you don't understand that you don't build a hotel in Russia without paying of the Russian Mob.

Nice try though.
