Democratic House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who made Donald Trump’s now debunked Russiagate “witch hunt” his one mission in life, furiously pushed back as all nine Committee Republicans demanded his resignation, defending his past comments by lighting into the president and his family and campaign over its contacts with Russia.
Calls from Republicans and president Trump for the Russiagate-obsessed Schiff to resign as head of the House Intelligence Committee have been loud in the days following the release of the four-page Mueller report summary. And on Thursday, the call was made right to the Congressman’s face in what Mediate described was an “explosive” clash, and The Hill dubbed a “striking display.”
At the start of the House intel hearing on Thursday morning, Rep. Mike Conaway (R-TX) called for Schiff to step down — a call which he said was supported by all nine Republican members of the committee.
“Your actions, both past, and present are incompatible with your duty of the chairman of this committee — which alone, in the House of Representatives — has the obligation and authority to provide effective oversight of the U.S. Intelligence community,” Conaway said. “As such we have no faith in your ability to discharge your duties in a manner consistent with your Constitutional responsibility and urge your immediate resignation as chairman of the committee. Mr. Chairman, this letter is signed by all nine members of the Republican side of the committee, and I ask unanimous consent that it be entered into the record at today’s hearing.”

A visibly angry Schiff responded immediately after, at which point the “clash exploded” as the Russiagate-obssessed Democrat aggressively pushed back defending his past comments by lighting into the president and his family and campaign over its contacts with Russia.
“My colleagues may think it is OK the president’s son was offered dirt as part of an effort to help Trump,” Schiff said in his statement.
“You might think it is OK. I don’t,” Schiff added, his voice rising as he went on.

In their letter, Republicans implied that Schiff was involved in or aware of leaks of committee information that fueled speculation about collusion as the Daily Caller reported.
“Your repeated public statements, which implied knowledge of classified facts supporting the collusion allegations, occurred at the same time anonymous leaks of alleged intelligence and law enforcement information were appearing in the media,” the letter reads.
“These leaks, often sources to current or former Administration or intelligence officials, appeared to support the collusion allegations and were purported to be related to ongoing investigations of President Trump and his associates.”
The letter also notes that committee Republicans also found no evidence of collusion involving the campaign. They released a report April 27, 2018, that laid out the results of the investigation, however, Schiff has vowed to resume the investigation, with a focus on Trump’s financial dealings and whether Trump associates have worked under the influence of Russia.
“Despite these findings, you continue to proclaim in the media that there is ‘significant evidence of collusion,’” reads the letter.
And while Schiff, or as Donald Trump Jr calls him “FullOfSchiff” may plan to keep kicking a dead horse for a long time, the social media response was quick and was largely split along party lines:
WATCH: GOP House Intel members call on #RussiaHoax truther Adam Schiff to resign as Chairman of the House Intel Committee for knowingly and repeatedly lying to the American people about collusion. He has been exposed as the fraud he truly is! #FullOfSchiff pic.twitter.com/E9nPOj68XL

If Adam Schiff does not resign from this intel committee post, there is no level of incompetence and cynicism that could ever warrant resignation from it https://t.co/bkjePWKikj

.@RepAdamSchiff-Thank you for speaking out for the American people. Thank you for reminding Republicans on your Committee that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia, and that there’s indisputable evidence backing that up. Well done, Chairman. You’re a patriot. We got your back.

Oh Dear Beelzebub the GOP is trying to get Adam Schiff to resign because he says Russia exists. https://t.co/6gJzxP0Hvr

House Republicans on intel committee during hearing on Russian influence operations attack @RepAdamSchiff and call for him to be removed as chairman, claiming he is biased. FLASHBACK: the previous GOP chair was @DevinNunes, who acted as Trump's poodle.

The full letter from the committee Republicans is below:
via zerohedge
Schiff is definitely delusional and must step down as chairman,at the very least ,he probably should resign from the house.
How about impeaching him? That will really fudge his undies. Can’t we all just get along? The left has to use this rhetoric to cover up for their lousy ownership of irresponsible and reckless legislation. MAGA RVN 68-69
True but he really deserves to be executed for Treason!!
well said Martin and should revoke his clarence at once
Yes!!! I could add a few other things also!
We don’t care how furious he is.. Just hang him!
Millions of us are furious with Schiff for leading us on this collusion goose Chase? He is too cowardly to resign.
Full-of-Sh schiff is the reason opioids are so popular in the Demo-rat party and proves why they want open border to keep their supply coming.
DemocRats
The fact that Trump is President has driven many democRATS to a level of insanity not seen in politics or the msm in recent times. The democRAT party is self-destructing before our very eyes. GOOD RIDDANCE!!
trump doesn’t deserve your loyalty. He is a fraud and a fool. Mueller did not reach a conclusion on collusion — for some as yet unknown reason he left it to the Attorney general to work with his findings.
You better get your facts straight. Mueller said “He found that there was NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION”.
Did you read the report? He never said that-he never will, Barr said it You people are so willing to excuse anything proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Barr was hired for his belief a president can do no wrong. His summary is a whitewash and the proof of that is he is hiding the report even from Trump himself. You will feel very foolish when it does come to us all. Schiff is doing his job and now he will live in infamy via that put-down speech yesterday. Trump will be a skidmark in history as he was in life
Sara. What planet do you live on?
And how can you support the treason of Schiff and the democrat party??
From what I’ve read, the DNC, together with Hillary, conspired the Russiagate fiasco 24 hours after Hillary lost the election. The real losers are the taxpayers who paid for this chicanery. I just hope the GOP stands by their guns and forces Schiff (and his cohorts) out of office!
Trump’s truth is being proven.
Wait a few more months. DEMS. will evolve into more insanity. I’m usually for the “down-cast” in life but will make an exception this time for DEM Corruption!!
“THE TRUTH SHALL Make YOU FREE!” Scripture
You are so brain dead you don’t even believe your own eyes and ears.
Old Blue-you are a SICKO!!
no, Mueller was dismissed before he could reach a conclusion, as planned by hiring Barr. But the truth will come out before the election, and trump will keep his insane 20% of haters, white trash and nazis
you are a prime example of how much the Democratic parties supporters/voters have been dumbed downed and programmed to hate anyone in opposition to their views. Your views and arguments are not based on facts, just wishful thinking. Sick thoughts at that.
the truth is, YOU don’t deserve the POTUS’s loyalty to yourself and this Nation. You want to turn this Nation over to illegal immigrants and their crime/drug syndicates as well as the NWO Globalists Socialists. If you’re liberal, you’re anti-American Socialist plantation vermin.
Don’t let the foolish DEMS get you down!
DemocRats are leading us to self distraction.
Naw, Repugnantcans are trying to distract us but they lost the House in the 2018 election.
America lost the House, for the House majority, no longer represents American Citizens.
schiff is full of ‘schiff’………….
Schiff should leave congress PERIOD. He has totally disgraced and discredited himself. Time to resign!
Many DemocRats in Congress and Senate should resign
Agree with you Kevin. Anyone in Washington that thinks its their duty to conduct investigations for the sake of investigations and at the cost of the American tax payer should be fired. Don’t wait for a resignation that will never happen. They should be spending more time doing something for the country, not against the country. Every Democrat should watch “The Death of a Nation” and ask all the useful idiots if they truly want to associate themselves with such a corrupt political party as the Democrat Party.
DemocRats should pay from their own pockets for every investigation, not tax payers.
Schiff, like all democrats think that they can say anything, about anyone and suffer no consequence. I would tell schiff to do the right thing, but from his actions one can see there is no moral compass in this thing. I cant call him a man because a man would do tge right thing, but it is crystal clear that adam schiff is a ball less sack of shit.
Actually, you can’t call him a man because he isn’t one. He’s not even human. The reality is that he’s an evil weevil larva from the planet Rectum. That’s the planet that shares Earth’s orbit, but is 180 degrees out of phase, so it’s always behind the Sun and can’t be seen. He’s been sent to conquer us, but with the intelligence of a talking turd, he’s unable to prevail. The real danger he poses is, in the event he pupates, he will increase in size massively. D.C. could in all likelihood be destroyed. But not to worry, as King Kong climbed the Empire State building, Schitt the Planetary Destroyer will climb the Washington Monument and be killed by an air armada of A-10 Warthogs. Unfortunately, the Monument will be sacrificed to kill the monster, but it will be worth it to remove the evil being from existence. And the world will go on, with a pile of rubble to remind us that Congress is a place of corruption and evil.
You do know that Adam is a Democrat? Democrats are Democrats, Über Alles.
Racism, Lying, Antisemitism, misleading, deceiving, obfuscating, Provocateurs, prevaricators, perjurers, Communists, all Democrat résumé enhancements.
Don’t expect Schiff to voluntarily resign. He is a rabid Soros weasel. His daughter was married to Soros’ son, and Soros financed Schiff’s political campaign for representative.
Aside from his sleazy penis-like face, he is a slithering low life. Innuendo and false statements
that he spews, knowing full well that they are false statements, are his trademark.
However, the Democrat Party is rife with similar low lifes. Schiff stands out because of his vociferous and haughty attitude. He is the Michael Avenatti of the House of Reps.
.
Soros’ son married Schitts daughter? George Soros is the father-in-law of Adam Schitt’s daughter? There it is- absolute proof that God is alive and well and has a killer sense of humor.
Oh that’s RICH! He wants to finish doing his job…he never works..unless CNN and MSNBC is paying him…he sure as hell does nothing for Americans. He is on the Intelligence Committee and even after the Mueller Report he continues to spread the Russian Collusion Delusion to the corrupt CNN and MSNBC. He has a learning disability…he simply CANNOT learn..period. We want him off the Committee…he lacks the integrity this Committee demands. We The People want this liar out of Congress…as of yesterday!!! If you are going to do your job Schiff…you’d stop the lying against the President. Of course Democrats are all brain dead so I don’t see that happening. I’d like to know how the VOTERS can get rid of him??? He is a detriment to our Republic. Such a disgusting person…lacks the intelligence this Committee needs.
Adam Schiff is a Sinking Ship (Schiff is German for Ship) who is really upset because if was Rush Limbaugh that first called him “Pencil Neck” and because he is loosing his hair over his inability to correct his cranial-rectal inversion. Since he can’t get his head out of his ass, he has become a real Scheiss Kopf. He needs to move to San Francisco where the potty police can clean up after his verbal flatulance.
I heard Mr. Schiff’s points and his continual “Perhaps you think it is OK, I don’t think it is OK”. However, none of his points were proven, just conjecture without and specific evidence to each point (charges, as it were). HOWEVER, THEIR man, Robert Mueller, made it clear there WAS no conclusion and, let me point out, that the investigation came to a swift end as soon as Mr. Mueller was preparing to indict a former OBAMA administration official. How convenient that as soon as Mr. Mueller was going to shake the “leftist tree”, the investigation came to a swift conclusion and I have heard nothing more of that last potential impending indictment.
None the less, Mr. Schiff does not have any evidence to back up his claims and Mr. Mueller has made a conclusion and determination based on a huge amount of testimony, memos, emails, etc..
Mr. Schiff needs to stop this nonsense, unless he has some evidence to substantiate all his claims, and there were many claims by Mr. Schiff. If he cannot let this go, he needs to resign as his efforts do not benefit the American people.
ALSO, BTW, in the past 2 years the Democratic party has done NOTHING to benefit the American people…..no new legislation, no nothing. All they’ve done is try to disparage the President of the United States AND the Office of the President of the United States. They have done NOTHING aside from that. This IS NOT the agenda that they should be subscribing to as they are supposed to be representing the people, not representing themselves and their own selfish interests!
Schiff isn’t very intelligent.
Schiff fingers on our nuclear triggers?
Schiff, like 65 million Hillary voters, is mentally ill, deranged, delusional, confused and irresponsible in his illusion.
A very dangerous man. Mental illness has no administrative or professional boundaries.
Actually, he should be exiled for crimes against the state!
For years this liar has staged his part on this attempted coup by using the media.
Presents his “evidence” to any trump-hater who’d listen on cnn or msnbc , arrogant (but looking like he’s trying to hold back a fart), acting all-knowing, yet NEVER presenting any evidence.
If ANY of what this freak said was true, mueller would have sat down with him.
Why isn’t this guy in prison yet ?
He STILL claims that HE has “more-than-enough” evidence to support his claims, yet mueller found none.
- if true, doesn’t that mean he withheld information from a special investigation ?
If he does not resign, the Republicans should abandon the committee and simply leave it as the parody it is under democrat control.
But then how could you call it the “Intelligence Committee?
Well the liberal democrats lost the 2016 election and hilary and obammma came up with this COLUTION crap to take the President down! I think it’s time to get the truth out to where and who’s responsible for all this bullshit all started!
Plus let’s get a special conceal on the trail of Uranium One deal when Hilary Clinton and Obammmma sold American Uranium to the Russians for personal Gain! when she was Secretary of State!
Come on Republican Representives opportunity knocks on your door once more! Will you not answer the call of duty to
Put these treasonous scoundrels in prison ! Guantanamo Cuba is the place where the most violent, the most destructive enemy’s of American are sent! Well used to be sent before obammmma relest them all to go and fight and kill American Soldier’s once more! Opportunity usually only knocks once but for you Republican Leaders it has knocked a number of times to no avail! Wake up or we all die together!!!
A nickles worth of free advice to Mr Schiff. If you want to be taken seriously and treated with respect, stop acting like a immature jackass. Grow up.
The letterhead on Adam Shiff’s official stationary is a lie. There is nothing honorable about Adam Shiff and thanks to the deranged Trump syndrome that he is having we see just how hateful he can be toward another human being and their family if he does not get his way , Just looking at this guy gives me the creeps and his real name should be shifty . If i were going to buy a used car and this guy came out to sell it to me i would run for the hills because his dishonest eyes tell a lot about his dishonest caricature . He is a loyal Hillary snake in the grass and he should step down now .
ALL Democrats need to be charged with conspiracy to over through the legally elected government. Trump should make sure all involved are investigated and charged.
Ralph, you are so correct about getting to the bottom of this because it’s time to find out just who was lying and setting up a presidential candidate so the other person could win a fixed election. Starting with Obama on down it’s time to clear these peoples names or hold them accountable because this was the biggest most dishonest political scandal of my lifetime and was set up to a overthrow an elected president just like they do in all of those unlawful countries around the world where the will of the people do not matter and if you stand against the democrats you are fair game for these hate mongers and they will roll you over. If the Democrats have nothing to hide lets just be as transparent as they wanted Trump to be and get an investigation going into just what did go on behind the scenes
Unfortunately Representative Schiff is representing the “land of fruits and nuts” so a recall probably will not happen. Our only hope is that as people with good sense and a work ethic leave that wasteland, the census data will cause reapportionment of his seat to a great state like TEXAS!
Cry wolf all the time, and nobody even hears you let alone paying attention!
If he had evidence, he’s produced months ago, but he’s all talk, and no action, Typical DEMON- RAT REGRESSIVE, trying to bring the USA back to the stone age!
Lyndsey Grahm should subpoena Schiff , ask under oath if he has evidence. If he says yes, make him produce it. When he can’t all will see him for the lying blowhard that he is. He can’t say no without admitting that he was perpetrating a fraud on the American people. He is part of the conspiracy to overthrow A duly elected sitting president. I believe that’s called treason
Although Mueller got it exactly right I can understand why Schitt refuses to believe it. It is because the whole bunch of Mueller’s team was composed of Democrats and they usually do nothing but Lie.
Schitt needs to go…preferably straight to Hell.
Rep. Adam Schiff has to keep pushing the Russian collusion or else their BIG FAT LIE that they were going to impeach President Trump will be exposed!!! Rep. Schiff, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, all knew right from the beginning their impeachment of President Trump will fail for they know they will never get the 67 votes needed for impeachment in the Senate!! What they really fear most is the “anger and violence of their far left radical Democrat voters turning on them with that violence for that BIG FAT LIE of impeachment and attacking them all for making “suckers out of those radical voters”!!!! Oh what tangled webs we weave, when first we start to decieve!!!!……
Adam Schiff hasn’t stepped down yet, but this is one thing that appears to be heading in the right direction. He is a Democrat, and they are hard headed self-rightous individuals. Once he is removed a chairman of intelligence, does he also lose his spot on the bowling team?
Adam Schiff and intelligence in the same sentence. REALLY
Schiff should present facts every time he makes any kind of charge, and they should be verifiable. He should account for all his charges when he makes them, or keep his mouth shut. His self anointed
stature is baseless without substantiated truths, and the media should nail him for his personal biased propaganda. He acts like a hot air balloon about ready to pop!
Dumb a**, what did he think was going to happen, everyone would kiss him and tell him it was ok?
Little shit needs his beady eyes poked out-looks like shitf has Goiter
And ir was really FUN watching Rep. Schiff give those radical, rabid, racist righties the right proper woodsshedding they so richly deserved!
YUP!!!
Farewell Adam Shitt!
Schitt said he has evidence of collusion. But, has yet to produce it. I believe that is OBSTRUCTION of JUSTICE. DOJ bring charges.
Schitt has the evidence,. But refuses to produce it. Definitely OBSTRUCTION of JUSTICE. DOJ file charges.242
