To everyone who has called or written about Adam Schiff, yes, I am one of 45 who have cosponsored a motion to censure him in the House. In fact, I believe he needs to be removed from Intelligence Committee immediately.
This is the same Adam Schiff who gave us all sorts of reasons to question his credibility and judgement during the Mueller investigation. And it's the same Adam Schiff who, during a recent congressional hearing, blatantly made up a version of the conversation President Trump had with the Ukrainian President.
Now, after having claimed, "We have not spoken directly with the whistleblower" before the report was filed, that appears to also be untrue. Yesterday the New York Times reported one of Schiff's staff members not only spoke with the whistleblower, but also provided Schiff with an "early account" of the second-hand accusations against the President.
This explains perfectly why Schiff was demanding an impeachment inquiry before the complaint was even released. It also begs several questions:
Why in the world did Schiff withhold this information from other member of the Intelligence Committee?
What else did Schiff know, and when did he know it?
Given Schiff's history and lack of transparency, how can anyone be assured he wasn't coordinating with the whistleblower?
Adam Schiff has no credibility and no business serving on the House Intelligence Committee. What's playing out right now in Washington is a total sham.
