Congresswoman Pursues $16 Million Fine Against Anti-Trump Democrat

-

Freshman Congresswoman , R-Fla., wants revenge against Democrat .

Rep. Luna recently introduced a resolution that would fine Schiff $16 million for his claims that former President Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.

“The GOP Conference agrees that Adam Schiff has betrayed the trust of the American people, purposely abused positions of extreme authority, lied continuously, and as such, must be held to account,” Luna said. “Accordingly, the resolution requires Rep. Schiff to pay a $16 million dollar fine, half of the cost American taxpayers were forced to pay for the Russia hoax investigation.”

Luna accused the lawmaker of taking advantage of his position as chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence to mislead the American people by his repeated accusations of collusion.

“By repeatedly telling these falsehoods, Representative Schiff purposely deceived his Committee, , and the American people,” the resolution said. It noted that Schiff “lent credibility” to the Steele dossier, supported a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant against Trump aide Carter Page, and publicly accused Page of being a Russian collaborator.

“Representative Schiff exploited his positions on HPSCI to encourage and excuse abusive intelligence investigations of Americans for political purposes,” it said. “Representative Schiff used his position and access to sensitive information to instigate a fraudulently based investigation, which he then used to amass political gain and fundraising dollars.”

“American taxpayers paid $32 million to fund the investigation into collusion that was launched as a result of Rep. Schiff's lies, misrepresentations, and abuses of sensitive information,” it added.

Last week, Luna introduced a separate resolution to expel Schiff from Congress for abusing his position on the intelligence committee.

Last week, Schiff said Luna's resolution to expel him from Congress was “payback” for his effort to hold Trump accountable.

“A MAGA Republican Member of Congress just filed a motion to expel me from the U.S. House of Representatives. I stood up to and held extreme MAGA forces accountable,” Schiff said on Twitter last week. “Now they want payback. They'll go after anyone who defends the rule of law.”

  1. MAGA, WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
     
    In December 2011, Trump made a statement in which he said he was unwilling to rule out running as a presidential candidate in the future, explaining “I must leave all of my options open because, above all else, we must make America great again.” Also in December 2011, he published a book using as a subtitle the similar phrase “Making America #1 Again” – which in a 2015 reissue was changed to “Make America Great Again!” 
     
    In 1991, Bill Clinton offered the same:

    “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) is a campaign slogan used by American politicians. It was first used by Ronald Reagan during his 1980 presidential campaign.
     
    Recently, circa 2016, Donald Trump used it in his campaign for the Office of the Presidency. 
     
    A citizen of the United States of America should expect and demand that all of our leaders have as his or her primary goal making this nation as good as possible for all of its citizens, i.e., all politicians should adopt the MAGA concept; MAGA Democrats, MAGA Republicans and MAGA Independents.
     
    An interesting question is why would any politician use the term with an ugly guttural pronunciation intending to imply a sinister element to the term? There are two possible answers; the speaker not understanding the meaning of the term or simply intending to assume that We, the People, were too gullible and easily confused. One should be characterized as insidious and vile if he or she were to use MAGA negatively.
     
    Whereas this nation will never be perfect, we all should strive to make the USA as great as possible. The greater and stronger we are, the more capable we will be to help our neighbor nations.

  2. I haven’t like Adam Schiff since the day he walked into the political spotlight. I sincerely doubt if they are going to make any progress into removing him from politics as the left loves to throw these people in our face and we seem helpless to stop them.
