A Florida freshman representative is taking drastic measures since the release of the Durham report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fl.) has filed a motion to have Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) expelled from Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe used his position on House Intelligence to push a lie that cost American taxpayers millions of dollars and abused the trust placed in him as Chairman,\u201d Luna said in a statement Wednesday. \u201cThe Durham Report makes clear that the Russian Collusion was a lie from day one and Schiff knowingly used his position in an attempt to divide our country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schiff, who was the top lawmaker on the House Intelligence Committee when Democrats the House majority, has repeatedly claimed that Trump and his campaign colluded with the Russian government to influence the 2016 election.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the Durham report did not recommend any new charges it did offer a blistering review of how the FBI launched and carried out the investigation. It caps a four-year investigation by Durham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m convinced when this dark chapter of our history is written, it will reflect that those Republican members who lacked the courage to stand up to the most unethical president in U.S. history, Donald Trump, consoled themselves by attacking those who did,\u201d Schiff said in an interview with MSNBC on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The California Democrat also knocked the conclusions of the Durham report, fighting back against the idea that it proved that his claims of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia were a lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDurham spends four years trying to prove this deep state conspiracy theory that Trump kept telling his base was going to be proven,\u201d Schiff said. \u201cThe whole thing, of course, was a big bust.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
