Adam Schiff Faces House Censure Vote And Prospect Of Steep Fine | Eastern North Carolina Now

    The House is expected to consider this week a measure that aims to formally rebuke and impose a hefty fine against Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) for playing up allegations of collusion between Russia and former President Donald Trump.

    Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), a Trump ally, announced on Tuesday that she expects her privileged resolution, meant to be fast-tracked for consideration, will likely get a vote Thursday morning.

    The measure seeks to have the House formally censure and condemn Schiff "for his egregious abuse of the trust of the American people," according to Luna's office. Schiff should also be fined $16 million, roughly half the cost of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference, pending an investigation by the House Ethics Committee if it finds he lied and abused sensitive information, Luna said.

    Mueller's inquiry explored alleged links between the Russian government and Trump's 2016 campaign, but ultimately did not find a criminal conspiracy. Luna's resolution mostly accuses Schiff of telling falsehoods about the Russia matter, but does also mention issues related to the Ukraine-focused impeachment inquiry against Trump.

    "It is the obligation of House Leadership to back up this motion for the American people and hold this feckless man accountable," Luna said in a statement.

    Republicans have long accused Schiff, who served as chairman of the committee for four years, of being a repeat liar, particularly because he insisted there was evidence of collusion. GOP frustration with Schiff led House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to kick him off the intelligence panel earlier in January after Republicans took over control of the House. In addition to her censure motion, Luna has pushed to expel Schiff, though that effort has not succeeded.

    A leading House Democrat said a procedural vote on the censure resolution would likely take place on Wednesday, while House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) said he supports the measure and is working with Luna on the "best timing" to bring it to the House floor to help it pass.

    Schiff, who is now running for the seat held by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), issued a defiant tweet from his campaign account, making reference to Trump's indictment in a federal documents case.

    "Rep. Anna Paulina Luna just walked off the House floor - after she read the resolution to censure and fine me $16 million. The vote will be in the next 48 hours to distract from Trump's indictment and retaliate against me for impeaching him. But I'm not backing down," Schiff said. He also shared a link to a fundraising page.

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?

  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.

  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.

  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?

Considering how abjectly corrupt and civilly abusive the Left has become regarding the corrosive effect of their elected leaders; their entrenched and ruling bureaucracy; employing their failed Education Industry as Indoctrinators; their collusive private sector operators, such as the terminally discredited Legacy Media and Big Tech censorship of Free Speech: What will be the best course forward for hardworking Middle Americans, including the Patriot Class?

  Withdraw from society, go underground and plan for a resurgence when it is feasible to do so.

  Work within the confines of better policy by the People's government, once good sense and sanity is restored in the electorate at large, to achieve such.

  Are you a crazy, nut-job Insurrectionist? Everything is perfect within our plan to achieve our intended goals for the Socialist Left.

  Secession to form a true Constitutional Republic.

In light of continued developments, primarily since 2008, there exists in these United States a Legal System which operates on a proved Two Tiered approach to justice rendered, which primarily benefits Democratic Elites and Woke Ideological Virtue Signalers, representing their co-dependent wards, to the expressed exclusion of normal hardworking American citizens: What is your suggestion in remedying this widespread injustice and, if not corrected, its existential outcome for our Constitutional Republic?

  Complete overhaul of the Department of Justice and their enforcers - the FBI - to reflect a far more honest justice system to keep patriots remaining calm.

  Disband the FBI, and request that congress investigate all unethical and non patriotic practices to partially right the wrongs of a distrusted and politically weaponized "Department of Justice."

  Continue with the current system since the two tiered justice system has been so remarkably beneficial to Democratic Socialist political hegemony; chronic distrust in institutions notwithstanding.
