According to reports, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has reportedly discussed the possibility of removing Congressman Adam Schiff from Congress and pursuing criminal charges against him. This comes after the release of the final report by Special Counsel John Durham, which concluded that the FBI did not have verified intelligence to initiate the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into former President Donald Trump in 2016. Schiff has been accused of promoting the “Russia hoax” and being a persistent liar.
“Neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation,” Durham wrote in a 300-plus page report sent to Congress, adding their investigation of Trump’s campaign was based on “raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence.”
After the release of the Durham Report on Tuesday, Speaker McCarthy criticized Rep. Adam Schiff.
“You have pledged, if the GOP takes the majority in the House, that you would investigate the findings of the Durham investigation. Now that the report has been released, what does accountability look like?” asked one reporter.
“We’re asking Durham to come in and testify so we can look at it more. It really raises the question about Adam Schiff,” said McCarthy.
Former House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff had been pushing the anti-Trump Russiagate hoax for years, claiming that Trump collaborated with Russia. However, as the truth finally emerges, this lie is being put to bed.
“You remember when he told the American people he had proof? Remember when he told him he didn’t know the whistleblower and what he put America through and openly lied to us? And now it’s proven in this as well.”
“It raises a lot of questions about his character, his standing inside of Congress, or whether he should even be in Congress,” said McCarthy.
On Wednesday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy spoke with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the report released by Special Counsel John Durham. During the conversation, McCarthy mentioned that individuals involved in the Trump-Russia connection hoax could potentially face charges.
Maria Bartiromo asked McCarthy, “House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan formally requested Special Counsel John Durham to appear before Congress to discuss the Durham report. So far, the White House is refusing to comment on that as well. You know what went on in terms of the Durham probe and the Russia Collusion lie. Will there be accountability here?”
“There has to be,” McCarthy said. “Maria, it’s not just me who knew. You knew it. And you got criticized for speaking the truth. And that’s what’s wrong. Is CNN talking about this? Is the White House talking about this?”
During the interview, McCarthy criticized Schiff for what he believed were lies and claimed that Hillary Clinton was responsible for creating the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory.
“They took America through an impeachment over a lie that they knew. You had Adam Schiff, who was chairman of the Intel Committee, lying day after day to the American public that he had proof, that he knew the proof. Now we’re finding in the Durham Report his own staff are threatened witnesses. I mean, why is this individual still even in Congress? And why does he think he can even run for higher office after what he did?”
“When you look at Hillary Clinton, she created this. The FBI paid people and knew it was false.” said McCarthy.
“Now, it’s time that people have consequences for their actions, and you’ve got to clean this up where this can never happen again. When you talk about the threat to democracy, this is exactly what we’re talking about,” he added.
