Freshman Congresswoman Ann Paulina Luna (Fla.) wants revenge against House Democrat Adam Schiff (Calif.)
Rep. Luna has reportedly 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, Congress, 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 Donald Trump 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.”
HALLELUJAH!!!
No Schiff you did not hold Trump accountable, you LIED. Since you continued to lie, you should face some kind of penalty.

Schiff is a traitor and a liar.he needs to be expelled and fined.i think it’s only fair.
She’s right he owes the taxpayers all the money that was wasted, 16 million is a good start! All politicians should get on board they are supposed to represent what’s best for all citizens. Put that 16 million in Medicare or SS as a start. IMO
Hooray awesome Yes
He deserves some sort of punishment extreme punishment for his extreme statements which were total fabrications. If he will lie about this what else will he or has he lied about.
This type of behavior needs to be stopped and he needs to be made an example of what lying to the public strictly for the purpose of being able to upset a Presidential candidate can not be allow anymore. Shades of Harry Reid.
Adam Schiff (Calif.) is a chronic liar, traiter, and immoral idiot. He deserves maximum prison time, cut off from the spot light he so loves… he needs to repay the American people for all of the wasted time & tax payor money he has wasted. Adam is a revolting human being. He deserves mega fines for all of his lies. God will judge him as well. There needs to be accountability as NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW, or should escape prison time for their actions…NOT EVEN ADAM!
