Old Pencil Neck Adam Schiff is angling to take over Pelosi's spot as leader of Democrats in the House
Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has made an un-American move in his desperate bid to censor President Donald Trump and conservative voices.
In a letter to Facebook, Schiff told the social media company not to let Trump back on the platform.
He also urged the Big Tech giant to censor other high-profile conservatives.
Schiff argues that so-called “election deniers” must be banned from social media.
Facebook will review Trump’s case in January and he may be let back on.
Schiff is saying Trump is an “election denier” and, therefore, needs to be muzzled, however.
On January 22, 2020, Schiff led the House's impeachment trial of Trump. In the days immediately after the hearings, he spent $600,000 on ad buys. One Facebook ad from the end of January urges supporters to "help Adam fight for transparency, accountability, and fairness on the House floor without having to spend time fundraising." By the time Trump left office in January 2021, Schiff had over $13 million in his campaign coffers—a nearly seven-fold increase from when Trump took office.
Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has been accused of leaking classified information by the former director of the CIA.
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he knows that Schiff “leaked classified information that had been provided to him.”
Pompeo said that he was made aware of Schiff’s leaking while he served as both CIA chief and as President Donald Trump’s secretary of state.
The allegation from Pompeo comes after Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) blocked Schiff’s appointment to remain on the House Intelligence Committee.
Schiff had served as chairman of the Intel Committee for the last four years.
McCarthy said he blocked Schiff due to national security concerns.
“During my time as CIA director and secretary of state, I know that he leaked classified information that had been provided to him,” Pompeo said on Fox News on Wednesday.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Adam Schiff was left in wide-eyed shock after the House of Representatives voted to censure him for lying to the American people about Trump/Russia collusion.
"How could they do this to me?" said Schiff, his eyes as wide as saucers. "Sending me a formal letter of disapproval is a brazen attack on our holy democracy! I never thought this would happen! Putin has struck again! I have proof!"
Sources close to Schiff confirmed the representative is still holding his head high in spite of the black mark on his record, and in spite of the abnormally large size of his head and comically small width of his neck. "We will strike back against this shameful censure by the Nazi MAGA Republicans in the house," said a goggle-eyed Schiff. "They won't get away with this. Our eyes are wide open. Very wide open."
Republicans are celebrating the measure, saying this will help discourage politicians from misusing intelligence resources to deceive the American people again — or at least do a good job of serving up some red meat for their reelection campaigns.
UPDATE: Sources have confirmed that Congressman Schiff is not actually wide-eyed in shock; that's just his face.
Yesterday, in an loud, fractious, and acrimonious proceeding, the House of Representatives voted to censure Adam Shiff (D-Ca.) along party lines (213-209), for “misleading the American public and for conduct unbecoming of an elected Member of the House of Representatives.”
Among many other ethical violations, during the impeachment proceedings Schiff notably — and falsely — claimed that he was holding some unidentified and undisclosed evidence of President Trump’s alleged “collusion” with Russia. But the Durham investigation concluded that Schiff had lacked any evidence, and even worse, Schiff knew that he lacked any evidence at the time he made the claims.
Schiff lied to Congress and to the American people, and now becomes just the third member of the House to be censured since the turn of the century. Plus, one of Representative Kevin McCarthy’s very first acts as Speaker was to strip Schiff of his position on the House Intelligence Committee, which instantly made America safer. ...
Here are the specific charges against Representative Schiff, from the Censure Resolution:
... Because of his censure, Adam Schiff has now been referred to the House Ethics Committee for investigation. The investigation could potentially result in his expulsion from Congress. One can only hope.
The resolution was introduced (twice) by knockout new Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna. Nice work, Representative.

Adam Schiff Funneled Millions To Defense Contractors After Taking Donations
While Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) campaigns for a Senate seat on a platform of earmarks for local causes, the 12-term Congressman has been busted steering millions in taxpayer dollars to for-profit defense contractors, many of whom have been political donors to his campaigns. ...
In two particularly egregious cases, Schiff channeled millions in funding to Smiths Detection and Phasebridge, Inc., two defense companies within his district - with $6 million steered to Smiths Detection and $3 million to Phasebridge. Both moves would have been barred under reforms adopted in 2010. This financial maneuvering coincided with Schiff receiving $8,500 in contributions from PMA Group PAC and two family members of Paul Magliocchetti, founder and owner of the lobbying firm retained by both defense companies.
In 2011, Paul Magliocchetti was sentenced to 27 months in prison for making illegal campaign contributions.
Adam Schiff Is Trailing GOP Candidate Steve Garvey in California’s U.S. Senate Race, Polling Shows
According to a UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies/Los Angeles Times poll released Friday, Garvey received 27% support among likely California voters compared to the rest of the candidates.
The poll shows Schiff has 25% support, followed by Porter at 19% and Lee at 8%.
The survey found the Republican rising by 14 points since January.
Consider the San Fransisco Chronicle’s most surprising story so far of the short week headlined, “Schiff, Garvey in ‘statistical tie’ for U.S. Senate seat, poll shows.” Wait! How can this happen? In California?
On Friday, the University of Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies published its latest electoral poll and you still won’t believe what they found. The news is actually even more astounding than the headline suggested: Republican Senatorial candidate Steve Garvey is beating liberal anti-hero Adam Schiff by +2%...
That survey question asked about a full-term election. But a different partial term question showed even stronger support for Garvey, reporting him up 29%-23% over Schiff — beyond the statistical margin for error.
These shocking poll results explained corporate media’s disgusting deluge of pro-Schiff articles over the weekend. The stories claiming Schiff was beloved in his district flooded out of panicked corporate media sewer pipes this weekend like propagandist effluent flowing out of a knocked-over Porta-Potti.
According to liberal Berkely, apparently Schiff is not, after all, quite that beloved in his district. If the pencil-necked Representative’s Senate bid fails, he’s finished. And if that happens, then what was it all for?
Eight months remain until the elections. A lot can happen. And Katie Porter (D-Ca.) holds about 20%, so Garvey remains far behind the democrat vote in total. But Schiff was supposed to be a shoe-in, thanks to his leading the Trump impeachment efforts and coordinating the January 6th prosecutions.
What is going on in California? Golden State C&Cers, please report in the comments.
Schiff is not, after all, quite that beloved in his district.
