Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) unveiled a resolution Wednesday seeking to expel Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) from Congress, as she alleges that Schiff played a decisive role in pushing the narrative of former president Donald Trump’s colluding with Russia.
Luna’s resolution comes just days after a report (pdf) by special counsel John Durham revealed massive failures and deficiencies in the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign.
“Adam Schiff lied to the American people,” Luna stated in a press release. “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.”
“Knowingly using your position on House Intel to push a lie that ripped apart our country, cost taxpayers millions of dollars, and authorized spying on a US President and then proceeding to double down on the lie within days of the Durham report coming out makes you unfit for office,” she posted on May 17 on Twitter. “Ethics should investigate.”
The Florida Republican also posted a photo of her motion.

Schiff was the leading voice among Democrats claiming that Trump’s campaign conspired with the Russian government during the 2016 presidential election.
During a December 2017 appearance on CNN, Schiff said, “The Russians offered help; the campaign accepted help. The Russians gave help and the president made full use of that help. That is pretty damning, whether it is proof beyond a reasonable doubt of conspiracy or not.”
But in 2019, after a 22-month investigation, special counsel Robert Mueller found no evidence of conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia. That sparked GOP calls on Schiff to step down from his post as chairman of the House Select Committee on Intelligence. Then-president Trump also issued a message calling for Schiff’s resignation.
Schiff remained defiant on Tuesday, repeating his assertion about “secret meetings” between Trump’s campaign manager and a Russian intelligence agent.
Asked by The Epoch Times about the conclusion of special counsel John Durham’s report, namely that there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, Schiff said: “If you read Mr. Durham’s report, what he said is that there wasn’t evidence of collusion before they began the investigation. That’s obviously a very important distinction.”
Schiff insisted that Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort provided a Russian intelligence agent with “internal polling data with their strategy for key battleground states, while that unit of Russian intelligence was engaged in trying to help Donald Trump win.”
For “most Americans that looks like plain collusion,” he said.
Schiff’s comment came after Durham concluded a three-year-long examination of the FBI’s investigation of the 2016 presidential election, and reported that the agency’s investigation into Trump’s campaign had no basis in evidence.
Released on May 15, Durham’s 300-page report (pdf) specifically stated that the FBI’s senior analyst on Russian intelligence didn’t see collusion evidence regarding Manafort.
“The FBI Intelligence Analyst who had perhaps the most in-depth knowledge of particularly sensitive Russian intelligence information in FBI holdings during the relevant time period disclosed that she never saw anything regarding any Trump election campaign conspiracy with the Russians, nor did she see anything in FBI holdings regarding Carter Page, Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos, or Paul Manafort engaging in any type of conspiracy with the Russians regarding the election,” Durham stated in the report.
On Wednesday evening, Luna’s statement accused Schiff of pushing a lie to the American people that had cost taxpayers millions of dollars, and said Schiff was a dishonor to the House.
Within half an hour, Schiff fired back, saying Republicans now “want payback.”
“A MAGA Republican Member of Congress just filed a motion to expel me from the U.S. House of Representatives,” Schiff posted on Twitter on May 18, in reference to Luna. Schiff is running for the U.S. Senate to replace the retiring Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).
“I stood up to Donald Trump and held extreme MAGA forces accountable. Now they want payback. They’ll go after anyone who defends the rule of law.”
This disgraceful, Lying, unethical Adam Schmitt not only does NOT belong in office, This Adam Schmitt belongs in prison.
“Adam Schiff lied to the American people,” and this Adam Schiff lied to Congress.
Nancy Pelosi admitted an unfortunate truth about her November 2019
orchestrate and fabricated President Trump’s impeachment “farce”
– It hinges on witness’s “allegations” not “proof”.
It’s Not A Question” Of “Proof”, It’s About “Allegations”

Schiff said: “When Republicans lacked the courage to stand up to the most unethical president in history, they consoled themselves by attacking those who did. I’m not backing down.”
#1. The most unethical, corrupt, destructive president in history is the lying, puppet president Joe Biden.
This unethical, corrupt, destructive, puppet president Joe Biden has destroyed our country’s energy independence, has allowed 7 Million illegal immigrants into our country and is forcing our tax payer to support the 7 Million illegal immigrants, has allowed enough illegal Fentanyl into our country to kill everyone in our country 7 times over, Biden is destroying our economy and destroying our country’s credibility around the world.
None of our country’s enemies could have done as much damage to our country as this Democrat Party and their corrupt puppet president Joe Biden has done, without even firing a shot.

As Shakespeare once said, to paraphrase him, ” What’s in a name, A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.” Adam SCHIFFTY- Adam Schiff.!
Overdue
There’s a LOT MORE that need the same thing to happen to them!
When it’s a choice between Luna and Looney, Schiff will have to be the one to go.
Don’t stop with Shi**y Schiff. Get rid of Maxine Mudbrain Waters, Sheila Jacka**-Lee, Alexandria Obviously Communist, Ilhan ‘I Married My Brother” Omar, Cori Clueless Bush and Spreading Bull Warren while you’re at it.
Praise for representative Anna Paulina Luna. This is exactly what the republicans need to be doing. The days of sitting back and waiting for the next vicious attack by democrat hacks is over. We need republican leaders who take an offensive approach to what has become the enemy on the other side of the aisle. Wars aren’t won on a defensive strategy alone and make no mistake politics today is war.
This is great, but if they do this, they also need to get rid of George Santos. He’s a stain on the good name of the GOP, and needs to go. If they’re worried about losing some of their majority, then they need to start the search for a suitable Long Island GOPer to replace him now!
The first one that needs to go is schitty adam schits and then they need to expell all those that have committed criminal acts while in office that includes nasty pislousi mad maxipad waters and good many others. There is not one SATAN WORSHIPPING DEMONCRAT that has not committed crimes while in office, even chucky schemer that ragdoll hateful creature has incited violence against the judges on the Supreme Court, then he bragged about it. Throw all those with the satanic left out of office.
SEND them to jail, that would get them out of congress..
He should be Charged with for what he and Others done to Our Legal Sitting President and We the People Cost Million of $$$ and with No Evidence and Made up Lies and Hoaxes too Lying to the Visa Courts Judges TOO and do not forget about Clinton Hillary and Husband ad Lorette Lynch too the Tar Mat meeting and the Lies too
Congressman Schiff,
Are you aware that one of the tools in a firefighter’s arsenal is fire itself? If not, grow a brain and learn something useful.
Republicans in the House, maybe for the first time, are fighting fire with fire. Hats off to them!
Mr. Schiff, you’re the fire which, along with the flames of your colleagues, is systematically destroying our nation. It’s about time Republicans start fighting your fire with fire of their own.
Remember two things:
1. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
2. If you play with fire, you just might get burned.
Liar, liar, pants on fire! Are ya feeling’ the burn?
