Congressman Adam Schiff was the ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence from 2015 through 2019, then Chairman of that same committee from 2019 through 2023. In his leadership position on the HPSCI, Schiff was also a member of the congressional Gang of Eight who received classified intelligence briefings on all U.S. intel matters.
Adam Schiff used his position on the HPSCI to fabricate information from the HPSCI, leak information to media, and falsify statements during public appearances. Following the 2020 midterm election result, Schiff was forcibly removed from the committee by Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Today the House of Representatives censured Schiff for his lies and manipulative conduct and submitted him to an ethics investigation by the House.
(Via Politico) – The House GOP voted Wednesday to publicly reprimand Rep. Adam Schiff for his leading role in Democratic investigations of former President Donald Trump.
The measure, which passed 213-209, formally censures Schiff and directs the House Ethics Committee to investigate his actions. All five Republican members of the House ethics panel and Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) voted “present” on Wednesday’s measure.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), the sponsor of the resolution, and other conservatives tried to advance a similar censure measure last week, but 20 Republicans — objecting to language that could have resulted in a $16 million fine for Schiff, unless he resigned from Congress — joined most Democrats to sink it before it came up for a full House vote. Luna removed that provision to allay their concerns. (read more)
Adam Schifthead
Next step, impeachment and then indictment for Schiff-tee.
.
House members don’t get impeached. They can be expelled for serious malfeasance but only upon a two-thirds vote, which isn’t going to happen here. (He does need to be sued by everyone he’s defamed in the media, but that’s a separate matter.)
.
It would happen if we had received the 300+ seats that American Voters gave to Republicans in the last election.
There was a time when a Senator was impeached. William Blount of Tennessee. He was involved in a British plot to takeover Spanish Florida and Louisiana.
sort of a mixed up timeline
Jul 3, 1797 President John Adams notified Congress of an alleged conspiracy involving Tennessee Senator William Blount.
Jul 6, 1797 A Senate committee recommended expelling Blount.
Jul 7, 1797 The House of Representatives notified the Senate of Blount’s impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Jul 8, 1797 The Senate expelled Blount by a vote of 25 to 1.
Feb 7, 1798 The House of Representatives presented articles of impeachment to the Senate.
Dec 17, 1798 The Senate impeachment trial began.
Jan 7, 1799 The Senate informed the House of Representatives of its plans to dismiss the case.
Jan 11, 1799 The Senate formally voted to dismiss the Blount case, citing lack of jurisdiction over the former member.
Jan 14, 1799 The Senate formally dismissed charges against Blount by a vote of 14 to 11.
Having already been expelled, the case was dismissed. But even though this is a major precedent, somehow they impeached Trump and didn’t dismiss even though he wasn’t President.
timeline and facts from here:
U.S. Senate: Impeachment Trial of Senator William Blount, 1799
very interesting – thank you!
.
Representatives don’t go through a Senate trial. Impeachment is merely an “indictment”. House can expel its own members on 2/3 vote. Has happened I think 5 times.
.
Theoretically, a federal judge can be impeached and if Adam Schiff seems to FEEL that he is entitled to act like a judge then we could treat him thus!
Just brainstorming here!
Lawfare!
I think it’s easy to use the two interchangeable terms, given procedures are almost identical in terms of what congress must do to effect one.. Different parts of the constitution between the two, yes, but the founders were inclined to make the house and senate rules identical for both. the answer why they would chose to have them identical in procedure is interesting also…and gives some insight into the how they considered the role of members of congress over matters involving presidents, member of congress, and others referring to as “civil officers”….fascinating stuff that has stood the test of time!
by my count however, congress since I have been alive has ignored its power to impeach and expel at least 20 times. Polarizing views and partisanship does not explain all of those failures. Hopefully, that changes.
exhibit: why is santos still a member of congress? (when you find THAT answer, you start to understand that congress holds some crimes in contempt and others…muh…we all do it)
God Bless America
Congress is generally adverse to washing their linen in public when one of their members is clearly guilty of crime(s). One method they use is to convince the Rep that he or she will announce that the time has come in their political career to go spend more time with their family. If they are stubborn and refuse the easy, discreet way out, then they will then face a public House trial with the book thrown at them,… meaning Jail Time upon a certain conviction.
realistically, no one in the FBI is going to pursue any allegations of a crime wrt to schiftface….the guy could have been recorded in the hotel room with his primary donor, buck, helping to inject a gay homeless prostitute and killing him and they would never investigate. (noting, I have no evidence any of this occured, but to simply effect and exaggeration based on some real facts about schiftface and buck!)
which kind of raises the QUESTION AGAIN..
why would the FBI/DOJ withhold investigations over members of congress?
is it to “protect” their chosen political advocate…or is a method of implied threat for control over that member?
can the answer be both?
God Bless America
I don’t think he can be sued for anything he said on the house floor.
I’m not sure about his criminal house committee stuff.
A scum piece of work.
ASPOW
Coined A New phrase just for schiff.
😂
He repeated his lies everywhere.
He was on every so called media shooting his arrogant mouth off. Of course not one of them challenged him but kissed his a$$ every time he was on.
impeachment minimum. censure will never accomplish anything.
impeachment serves two purposes:
justice and a reminder that members of the intelligence oversight committees have the HIGHEST RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN UNIMPEACHABLE CHARACTER IN EVERYTHING THEY DO>>>
prevents him from strolling over and taking feinstein’s seat where he will invariably become a senate intelligence committee member…(dems control the senate)
If the House does not initiate impeachment, even if they KNOW the senate will not agree, they do not understand the reason for impeachment. this one is the very definition of a high crime and misdemeanor.
God Bless America
don’t hold your breath!
I don’t think any of us is!
I suppose that this censure opens Schiff up to investigations pertaining to what he knew and when he knew it wrt his continuous claims of “evidence in plain sight” (which I always figured he was talking about the meeting with Natalie Veselnitskaya, and could lead to investigations of the illegal 1st impeachment, as well, where whistleblower rules were changed by Michael Atkinson(?) to allow for CIAramella to be a protected whistleblower.
Oh, maybe we can get Durham to investigate.
his contentions seem to rest upon two ridiculous events:
The Trump tower meeting with Natalie—obviously a ruse and plant by Fusion in conjunction with FBI that the intel people do not want anyone to look too deeply into. And also obviously not illegal- for one thing the Russkies in 2016 were not America’s ‘enemy’ whether declared, constructive or even ‘understood’.
Manafort sending polling data to Kilimnick, a man with ‘ties’ to “Russian intel’- another claim that the intel world doesnt want anyone to look too deeply into bc Kilimnick was an agent for America- and for another matter, is so ludicrous–If Russia was looking to spend its 100,000 bucks in fbook ads on a swing state, they dont need polling data to figure out where to send it- that it borders on absurdity.
Considering that Dolan, Podesta and probably HRC herself spoke to Russians and assuredly Russian govt people all the time, the whole thing is absurd. And considering that the Wikileaks drops were prob the result of seth rich’s exfiltration and the russkie hacking was a fakeout, the entire Schiff assertion is built on quicksand.
Besides Trump Derangement Syndrome, I believe Schiff is a sociopath, including narcissistic personality disorder. When asked, he said he’d do the same thing all over again. In the end, the weak House ethics panel will do nothing. Senator Feinstein better watch her back!
Schiffty IS a classic sociopath which is why Commiefornia libtard voters will make him a Senator. Living in Commiefornia is like living in an asylum for the criminally insane. You are spot on about the feckless House ethics committee. A complete oxymoron.
Schifforbrains is the poster child for everything wrong with congress. Lie, lie and lie some more. What a piece of crap
Daughter has Crohn’s 20+ years. Please don’t insult crap!
Shifty Shift considers this a “badge of honor.” Hopefully he gets the justice he deserves. And I would like to see Rep. Luna as PDJT’s running mate.
<And I would like to see Rep. Luna as PDJT’s running mate.>
With PDJT lighting the way…
The Sun & The Moon ticket 🙂
The forests will sing, the oceans will cry
Eagles will soar through every sky
Sister Luna will carry the flame
While The Donald throws down the lightning and pain
The Deep State Dragon they will assail
The American battle-call will wail
The Prose Edda
PDJT running with a Hispanic woman would steamroll anyone the Marxists put up against them, including Michelle Obama.
Ms. Luna, by going in twice to deliver a blow to Shifty, showed some grit that few in the GOP have, aside from the likes of MAGA Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert.
The justice he deserves is the gallows. But that will never happen…
there are some terrors far far worse than death.
we shall see he lives in a sense of constant panic his entire life.
he deserves this. He is solely responsible for creating a national wide HOAX with his willful and intentional lies and fabrications using the power of the committee that has access to the top secrets of this nation.
this is no normal crime.
death is too gentle for this madman.
long slow days, worrying…anxious and desperate.
that is the equivalent of what he has put this nation through. it fits.
“that dude is shiftfaced” – galactic sized liar
“we all got penced because the dude was shiftfaced”
God Bless America
What’s the deal with “All five Republican members of the House ethics panel voted “present” on Wednesday’s measure.”? I’m assuming all demonrat members of the House ethics panel voted “nay”?
Ethics and congresscritters. Seems like an oxymoron!
<What’s the deal with “All five Republican members of the House ethics panel voted “present” on Wednesday’s measure.”>
Blunts the anticipated Dem issue of impartiality on the Ethics Committee.
Who really gives a crap anymore about impartiality?
Didn’t everyone hear their lies today, and for the past 8 years. I think Schiff deserves much worse than an ethics panel hearing, and Americans in the past would have known how to handle people like this.
I yearn for the bygone days of duels and fist fights.
They will vote against him in the Ethics Committee…
Their votes weren’t necessary tonight.
Now they cannot be accused of a predetermined decision
before hearing all the evidence in committee.
PS – Duels are also fine 🙂
And the dims on the ethics committee will vote with him just like they voted against the censure today. And nobody will accuse them of a predermined decision.
I do understand what Wordman is saying and I’m not wanting to be difficult. I’m just whining about the double standard.
Because if and when the ethics committee determines schiffthead did something wrong, the vote will be straight down party lines and it will be reported as a partisan witch-hunt anyway. So I’m just frustrated with the whole charade .
Look, I’m good with votes down party lines at this point, I’m good with things being reported as partisan witch hunts. I don’t give a rat’s ass about bipartisanship. We’re dealing with morons and degenerates. Why does that stuff matter? Punish that unethical, lying POS. By any means possible. As harshly as possible . Why does our side always fret about taking out the bad guys? It’s so weak. People like this are destroying our society. They’re going to have to be dealt with harshly or they will succeed. This is extremely mild compared to what I would like to see. Kudos to Anna Paulina Luna and Kevin McCarthy. Adam Schiff is off the intelligence committee. And it’s about time.
The operative word in your statement is, “charade.”
Just like the media claimed all the members of the illegally-formed J6 committee were “unbiased”, “fair-minded” despite every one having voted to impeach Trump, including the two fake Republicans.
And all Trump did was ask Ukraine to look into the highly suspicious Biden family dealings with Burisma, which have now been proven to be totally true as influence-peddling, extortion and violations of the FARA act, for which Manafort was sent to prison.
How about some plain old ethics and morality?
The pure evil that has permeated this nation, will not go unpunished
Yup, one way or the other!
I agree on the duels and fistfights. There must be consequences for lie, character assassination, and treachery.
Tar and feathers.
100 mil Americans maybe more get one punch at his face.
Too easy.
So if the dims on the committee voted no, they obviously aren’t impartial.
Can we primary these “present” voters please?
I cannot think of a more worthless vote when it comes to Adam Schiff’s serious lies to the American people. These people and those like these five don’t deserve to represent us.
Never Back Downers

Nine Republicans either voted present or didn’t vote at all on the measure to censure Adam Schiff.
Voting “Present”:
Buck – CO
Fischbach – MN
Garbarino – NY
Guest – MS
Joyce – OH
Rutherford – FL
Not voting at all were:
Buchanan – FL
Posey – FL
Williams – TX
please primary these!
The presents were on the Ethics Committee. It is standard not to vote on any case that will be referred to them.
Convenient that this occurred AFTER the ridiculous pony show today. And my Congress Idiot is sending me emails that NOW he will vote for censure.
And what the heck does that mean anyway?
Not much.
Its good somebody had a come-to-Jesus talk with Rep. Massie and the other RINO bums since the previous vote that failed. I am sure there are Uniparty moles in the Republican woodpile that had pressure put on them to save Schiff’s neck but once isolated they had to fall in line.
It all looks like theater to me.
The original vote, prior to yesterday’s Schiff Russia Russia Russia soliloquy, should have been whipped.
It was not and left Luna out to dry. No Speaker would have ever allowed that within his own party.
And it was too convenient to defer minutes to Schiff for his own whining all through that idiotic event yesterday, only to have House members get on board with censure last night.
More Kabuki.
Hopefully, this will quash any senatorial aspirations that he has.
I’m thinking it’s a resume enhancement, as was his despicable lying spectacle today. It is California after all.
If not, maybe his Kievnam benefactor will help his selection.
Ukrainian Collusion Better?
Adam Schiff comes under fire for having his own connection to Ukrainian businessman (2019)
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7536401/Adam-Schiff-comes-scrutiny-having-connection-Ukraine-businessman.html
When this watermelon head passes on, I hope that not one farmer saves the seeds that are his. NEVER should such watermelon seeds every be planted again. Incinerate them!
On the bright side, if they only had a brain, a heart, and courage, those who dissented against his censure are going to be getting their lessons anon that American’s are tired of their forking lying.
But for myself, OH HAPPY DAY!
Schiff acted like a man that thought he would never lose power. Once he lost it, he got his neck wrung.
and the eyes slightly pop-up…
I hope this censure will derail his dream of replacing Frankenfeinstein in the Senate.
Following the 2020 midterm election result, Schiff was forcibly removed from the committee by Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
2022!
He should have been expelled from Congress.

Just sayin’….
The best thing about this is the drive and MAGA perseverance of the 7mo pregnant veteran of Anna Paulina Luna.
I have learned not to draw the ire of a pregnant Latina..
Through the years I have watched in such disgust at this lying, manipulative piece of 💩. At least this is a step in the right direction to acknowledge his evil deeds. I hope they can follow through and make this happen to a very deserving cretin!
So, will the ethics committee get to see all of Schiff’s so-called ‘I have all the evidence‘ malarky?
How can they see something that doesn’t exist. Popeyed Pencil Neck never had any “evidence”. He is a mental defective dangerous psychopath and sociopath.
WVcoalman, you are 100% right. There have been several studies by real experts (not fake ‘experts’ like Dr. Fakeci 😡🤬) that have proven that Demonrats are mentally screwed up bigtime. Dangerous psychopaths, sociopaths, AND extremely narcissistic.
Of course, the ‘main stream media’ (run by and composed bigtime of Demonrats) has refused to report the results of these studies every time they have come out. They are easy to find in the internet, but the point is that the MSM demonrats refuse to report them in order to cover themselves up.
Many decades ago (around 1992, 1993) a fellow Coast Guard member received by mistake some kind of media insider magazine. He read it and he was so pissed off he brought it to work so I could see it. I read the whole thing.
The main points about it- they had done a political affiliation media insider poll that showed that (I cannot remember the exact numbers, but I am close to it) about 96% of the ‘media’ were demonrats, about 3% were independents, and about 1% were republicans.
And also, there was an article in the magazine by a media demonrat, Dan Rather, where he openly bragged about wording his articles in such a way as to push the demonrat agenda.
The demonrats have controlled and used the so called ‘media’ for the indoctrination of the mentally weak and stupid for a long time.
Oh baby, WAY longer than that! Before the 50’s, but at least by then!
Yep. That was why, when I read that insider magazine in 1992 or 1993, it was obvious to me that they had been controlling the ‘media’ for many decades before that. That was why their internal poll numbers were so high.
I wish they hadn’t have bothered. This gives a relatively silenced Schiff thanks to his committee removal public spotlight and a large fundraising platform–he is a nitwit of this magnitude because that’s his base in LA. The only real value of this exercise was confirmation of who the worst of the worst Republicans in the House are.
The LA Times appears to agree with part of that assessment. An article today appeared with the headline: “House Republicans censured Adam Schiff. He couldn’t be happier.” FTA…”he’s called the censure a “badge of honor” and has already begun using the free publicity to fuel his Senate campaign.”

This is interesting stuff.
Detailed info on the Congressional Hall of Shame that Adam Schiff is the newest member of.
Now if we could just censor those eyeballs of his. But a large sock in his mouth will do.
schiff will be most likely the next senator from commiefornia. di fi is not going to run in 2024. It’s looking like schiff, katie porter and barbara lee vying for the spot at this time so far. They are all congresscritters. I look at them as the 3 stooges, all left-wing loons. One of them is guaranteed to be the next senator in Jan. 2025, schiff the most likely as he has name recognition. No republican has any chance of winning a statewide office in commiefornia.
Schiff the most likely as the most valuable to the Derp State Senate.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see him on the SSCI.
Highly probable.
I hope he has a good cry tonight.
Would bring new meaning to “crying your eyes out”.
“Rep. Andy Ogles
@RepOgles
Live from the House Floor:
Dems cheering for a man who lied to the American people for his personal gain and the agenda of his corrupt political party.
How embarrassing.”
Video:
Irrespective of the plucky face the Dems are trying to put on this, Schiff got his just reward. The fun part of this is that he can still rehabilitate himself by cooperating with his investigation. He can rat out whomever the ‘person’ was who gave him the false information. Like a newspaper reporter, he is not obligated to protect his source if they set him up to pass on false information. But of course, he made all this shit up himself.
The best part of this is that will now be a boat anchor tied to Schiff’s leg in his hopeful run for the Senate. The prick got what he deserved.
At the end of the day, I presume this means diddley squat in the grand scheme of all things in the swamp.
Bull Schiff will continue on… same schiff- different day
Again, Schiff is democrats mvp, as he stated for the record during Durham testimony today, that Russia hacked the DNC. Without that narrative, the Russia Russia Russia collapses. Ask Jillian Assange, Seth Rich was the one who ignited the fuse.
That deceptive monster
in a human mask
ranks high on the roster
to be taken to task
His accusations …, false claims and deliberate lies
are said with delight
See that look in his eyes?
Clever parody… too bad it had to disparage a damn good song.
POSchiff
A pivotal statement above is that Schiff was a member of the gang of eight. That means there were 7 others who had access to the information Schiff was lying about.
Devin Nunes was telling the truth about the weaponization of the DOJ and Intel agencies. But he was being slandered in the media and by Schiff himself.
That means there were 6 who, at vest, sat on the sidelines, silent about Schiff’s lies. And those 6 were equally distributed as three RINOs and three Dems.
The three RINOs bear as much culpability for Schiff’s lies as Schiff himself. I applaud the vote to censure Schiff. But, to a certain extent, it is a shiny red object.
Schiff happens 🤣🤣
Can always count on the republicans to DO ABSOLUTLY NOTHING.
Schiff is a pathological liar, yet 20 spineless republicans allow him to continue.
Hard to decide which is worse, a tie then.
Schiff isn’t the enemy. The GOP is the enemy.
History lesson:
The Congressional GOP destroyed Trumps domestic agenda the first two years.
The Senate GOP wouldn’t let Trump do recess appointments.
The GOP eunuch’s Trump installed in his administration shiv’d Trump in the back every step of the way. (Including Bannon)
The House GOP retired en mass before the 2018 elections, throwing the House to the dems for the next two years.
Congressional GOP sat on their thumbs those last two years and wouldn’t defend Trump.
And on and on…
Without those facts, Trump would have had the most consequential administration since the Founding Fathers.
Schiff is just a symptom, like a tapeworm burrowing into your intestine. But Schiff hatched from an egg the GOP implanted.
Oh please. So in reality the Dims are your moral, ethical, MAGA loving people? It’s the RINOs making them be Dims?
I despise this wording. Why are people so unable to hold more than one thought in their head?
Yes, RINOs are the enemy. But ffs so are the Dims! They don’t get a pass.
Yay! I really hate that sleaze bucket, and I couldn’t figure out why the first vote failed. Apparently it was because of the large fine attached to it. I don’t know about anyone else but I’m perfectly happy they left that part out this time. He most likely would have gotten donations to cover that anyway. The main thing is the censure itself and what might come next. So yeah I’m happy about this. 😉
Um…where would that $16 million come from?
From Ukrainian AND Russian AND Chinese kickbacks of course! I have the evidence right here! (waving an envelope)
He’d claim he found it in the couch cushions.
“Luna removed that provision to allay their concerns.”
Would it be too Machiavellian to think she offered the initial proposal with the fine to get the RINO’s on record, then remove it forcing them to vote in favor of censure?
They no longer had an excuse to hide behind.
I don’t know if she planned that, but I do suspect that is indeed the factor at play here.
Many of them went public claiming they couldn’t vote for the initial measure because of the fine.
Nice to see them pinned to the wall now.
What a POSchiff
We saw Adam Schiff on MSNBC for a few minutes while looking around at the news –
Oh My Goodness –
he reminded us SO much of the Low Energy Jeb person in 2016 –
it isn’t so much the facial features but more of the “tone” I guess you could say – that kind of prissy smugness which is so off-putting – I mean really, there it was –
do you think he could be another one of those?
A brother from another mother?
The Bush Brothers like to kid about Bill Clinton being a brother from another mother and their poor mother did not seem to mind, whatever it takes for the ultimate prize down the road for the next Bush officeholder, to endear themselves to the news media, even though essentially what they are saying is that their dad stepped out on their mom.
THEY are the ones who say it – with such jollity –
so I would say Adam Schiff has the demeanor of Low Energy Jeb, they could be twins on that score.
**SNAP** goes the Pencil-necked GEEK !!!
Get the Popcorn!
The PENCIL Censure, where they will actually make a PENCIL Necked Politician Stand in a Pit, where he can be Looked Down on, as he gets Verbally Rebuked!
After censure that lyin’ freak should get booted from every committee he is on!
President Trump should sue his remorseless PENCILNECK ar**s for libel and defamation.
Good for a first step.
Remembering Tucker Carlson’s monologue on Twitter about the death of virtue, the House Democrats rallied around him in sympathy, patting him on the back, cheering for him.
Those House Democrats can praise the years of lies and decimation of Donald Trump; so how easily would their consciences okay the herding of MAGA into boxcars? How easily would their consciences approve an Antifa-led pogrom of Trump voters?
How bout those weird eyeballs schiff has.
Talk about snake eyes. 👀
😳
Snake eyes . . . box cars . . . nothing from Schiff is any good but it is the Republicans who will help make the worst happen.
It’s a win, take it!
Losing the teeth of the original but keeps it alive and in the news.
In. The. News. Bwaa ha ha!

For those wondering who voted present:
members who sit on ethics traditionally vote “present” as they do not weigh in on investigations prior to them coming to committee. This is typically the case on both sides. Also, although

The ‘Ethics’ Committee is made up of 10 members, 5 Rep, 5 Dem.
And seeing as how the 5 Dems on the committee already voted NAY on the House vote instead of the traditional practice of voting ‘Present’ , the committee vote will likely end in a tie– 5 to 5.
What happens then?
It ends there. Last nights vote is as far as it will go.
It can’t get out of committee with a tie, as I understand it.
Performative theatre
Vindication for schiff. 5 wise brave impartial demonrats who could see it is all a partisan attack voted against having the investigation. Then after seeing the evidence they will prevent the evil partisan repubs from further schmearing schiff’s good name.
Oh, the ranking member is my CONgresscritter. Let me give you some insight on Ms. Wild: During the 2018 Congressional campaign, Wild was running against Marty Nothstein, a man who had some local fame as a Olympic cycling gold medalist. Late in the campaign, the local fishwrap ran a scathing hit piece on Nothstein which should have been exposed as an “in – kind” contribution to Wild’s campaign. The reason: One of the founding partners of the law firm that represented the paper was… Susan Wild.
noting:
https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/R45078.html
The history of the Expulsion Clause suggests that the expulsion power is broad and confers to each house of Congress significant discretion as to the proper grounds for which a Member may be expelled. Accordingly, courts generally have declined to adjudicate the standards by which expulsions might be considered in the House or Senate. To date, 20 Members of Congress have been expelled: 5 in the House and 15 in the Senate. A large majority of those expulsions were predicated on Members’ behavior deemed to be disloyal to the United States at the outset of the Civil War. Nonetheless, the two most recent expulsions followed Members’ convictions on public corruption charges.
also this little jewel…wrt schiftface walking over to a feinstein seat in the senate:
EXCLUSION…(not to be confused with exPULSION).
“Expulsion, which is expressly provided for in the Expulsion Clause, is often confused with exclusion, which is an implied power of Congress that stems from the Qualifications Clauses for the House and Senate.4 Exclusion occurs when a body of Congress refuses to seat a Member-elect.5 Unlike the two-thirds majority requirement of the expulsion power, a body of Congress may exclude a Member-elect with a simple majority.”
the SENATE HAS THE POWER to EXCLUSE SCHIFTFACE FROM BEING SEATED in the senate!
it only requires a senate majority.
dems have majority in the senate. However, it might be possible to move some of the center dems to vote in the majority to refuse to seat him…effectively preventing his the feinstein seat AND also the likelihood that he gets on the senate intelligence committee then becomes unattainable ! This would require a bit of political maneuvering, but it should be a part of the entire strategy to prevent schiftface access to any intelligence committee status…
I would also urge House members to remove schiftface from ALL COMMITTEE memberships as they can do this right now, while he is subject to an ethics review.
This is how you deal with schiftface. I still believe the expulsion fits, but failing that, there are definitely other ways to neutralize pencil neck…and take him out of play has to be a top priority….especially given we are fast approaching fisa/702 zero time.
Politico: “It’s the latest example of conservative-pushed “privileged” resolutions, which require a speedy floor vote and bypass the committee process. The right flank of the House GOP also plans to force votes on other controversial measures, despite the wishes of leadership, like the impeachment of President Joe Biden and his Cabinet secretaries.”
How about impeach Comey and Durham?
Durham is retiring apparently so which comes first 🤷♂️
Comey? He’s already out of government so it doesn’t apply. There is no retroactive provision.
Hmmm… I may be incorrect, but wasn’t President Trump impeached a second time after he was already out of government?
Fake impeachment…it was presided over by a voting senator and not a SCROTUS; all of that akin to the fake J-6 Unselect Comittee
If he’s related to Jacob Schiff $160m probably doesn’t mean much either.
I thought he slapped around milquetoast Durham pretty handily yesterday.
Think he is.
He should be locked up. Clinyons, Biden..all of them! ALLthe prosecutors drag their feet pretending to work for us. It never takes all this information on someone to arrest if they aren;t in high places. WE SEE YOU! (This Schiff guy reminds me of IGIGI..)
He will be senator any way. This country has gone over the cliff
When you continue reading the article at the Politico link above, their political bent on this situation is nauseating.
Oooh noooo not censure.
Oh the humanity.
