Schiff Censured

“...for years Representative Schiff abused this trust by citing evidence of collusion that—as is clear from reports by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, and Special Counsel Durham—does not exist”

Throughout the Trump presidency, Representative Adam Schiff repeatedly said that he had seen definitive evidence of Trump's guilt.  Oh, he couldn't show it to the public because it was locked in the SCIF and only a handful of people with clearance could view it, but you could trust him.  No, apparently not.  This is why you censure.

The last effort to censure Schiff went down to defeat when 20 Republicans 'defected.'  Of course, the last effort also levied a $16 million fine, which was inappropriate.  We can't have Congress fining rivals into bankruptcy.  Here we have a 'clean' censure.  If only Congress could write legislation as cleanly.
