Last month, GOP Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) took another courageous action by submitting a privileged resolution to ‘censure, condemn, and fine’ Rep. Adam Schiff, a serial liar, for his ‘egregious abuse of trust.’
If successful, the resolution could potentially lead to a $16 million fine being imposed on the controversial Democrat from California, which amounts to half the expense incurred during the Russia hoax investigation.
“This will be a privileged motion to censure & a $16 million dollar fine (half the cost of the Russia hoax investigation) meaning I WILL bring this vote to the house floor,” Luna wrote.
“I will not back down from this and I, along with my Republican colleagues, look forward to holding Schiff ACCOUNTABLE for his actions,” she added.
On Tuesday, Rep. Luna announced that the House will vote to censure and fine Rep. Schiff on Thursday morning.
“I have introduced a resolution that will be voted on in the next two days to censure, investigate, and fine Adam Schiff for 16 million dollars,” Rep. Luna wrote.
“He abused his position of authority, lied to the American people, cost American tax payers millions, and brought dishonor to our chamber,” she added.
In her resolution, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna accused Schiff of repeatedly misleading the American people with false statements and fabrications, especially the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, “which was revealed as false by numerous in-depth investigations, including the report by Special Counsel John Durham.”
Luna contends that his actions constitute a betrayal of public trust and undermine the integrity of the legislative process.
“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.
Luna leveled accusations against Schiff, claiming that he manipulated his access to sensitive information, thereby initiating an investigation founded on fraudulent grounds. The core allegation is that Schiff exploited the resulting investigation to gain political advantage and boost his fundraising efforts.
“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,” Luna stated.
The representative from Florida demanded that Schiff face financial consequences, suggesting that he should bear the burden of $16 million, which amounts to half of the overall investigation expenses.
This proposal arises following an investigation conducted by the Committee on Ethics, which uncovered instances where Schiff lied, misrepresented facts, and mishandled sensitive information.
“Be it resolved,” Luna stated firmly, “that the House of Representatives censures and condemns Adam Schiff for conduct that misleads the American people in a way that is unbecoming of an elected member of the House of Representatives.”
Luna’s resolution includes a requirement for Schiff to present himself to the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure, followed by a public reading of the resolution by the speaker.
The Committee on Ethics is expected to conduct a further investigation into the allegations made against Schiff.
