Rep. Luna stated on Tuesday that the House would hold a vote this week to censure and fine Rep. Schiff. A procedural vote on the measure took place on Wednesday afternoon. Luna believes that Rep. Schiff’s actions have betrayed public trust and compromised the integrity of the legislative process. Any Republican who doesn’t vote for the resolution is seen as a member of the Deep State.
“Representative Schiff exploited his position on HPSCI (House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence) to promote and excuse abusive intelligence investigations of Americans for political purposes,” Luna declared, making clear her indignation over the actions of her colleague.
“The American taxpayers shelled out $32 million to fund an investigation into collusion launched as a result of Representative Schiff’s lies, misrepresentations, and abuses of sensitive information,” said Luna.
The representative from Florida suggested that Schiff should pay $16 million which is half of the total investigation cost as he found that Schiff lied, misrepresented, and misused sensitive information. This suggestion was put forth after an Ethics Committee investigation.
The GOP-led House failed to pass a resolution condemning Adam Schiff for his actions in the Russia Hoax on Wednesday. Because 20 Republicans voted with Democrats to protect Schiff, the resolution was ultimately blocked with a vote of 225-196-7. Additionally, five Democrats and two Republicans voted present.
