Adam Schiff\u2019s days as chair of the House Intelligence Committee, marked by abuse and grotesque politicization, are finally numbered. But it\u2019s not just Schiff\u2019s chairmanship headed out the door with the incoming Republican majority; it\u2019s his seat on the committee altogether.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy made clear a trio of liberal lawmakers were on the chopping block for their assignments after the chamber took the unprecedented step of dictating minority committee appointments under Democrat rule. Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene was <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/house-gop-votes-greene-d00c46241478d39db3996a36f5cbf91e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">kicked<\/a> off of her committees just a month after her congressional inauguration. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cShould you become speaker of the House in January, what are you going to do in terms of these Democrats that you have on such important committees?\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Un0Trv0S-ek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">asked<\/a> Fox News\u2019 Maria Bartiromo on Sunday. \u201cYou\u2019ve talked in the past about removing Ilhan Omar, you\u2019ve talked about removing Adam Schiff, about Eric Swalwell. Will you deliver?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In January, McCarthy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/01\/10\/exclusive-kevin-mccarthy-plans-to-strip-ilhan-omar-off-foreign-affairs-eric-swalwell-and-adam-schiff-off-intelligence-committee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told<\/a> Breitbart News each would be removed from their respective positions on the Intelligence Committee and Foreign Affairs Committee if he were elected speaker with a Republican majority. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll keep that promise,\u201d McCarthy told Bartiromo. McCarthy had already been calling for Swalwell\u2019s resignation from the House Intelligence Committee since <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/03\/18\/house-democrats-reject-removing-swalwell-from-intelligence-committee-over-ties-to-chinese-spy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">details<\/a> surfaced of the Democrat\u2019s close relationship with a since-vanished Chinese spy. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEric Swalwell cannot get a security clearance in the public sector,\u201d McCarthy said Sunday. \u201cWhy would we ever give him a security clearance and the secrets to America?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdam Schiff, who had lied to the American public time and again, we will not allow him to be on the Intel Committee either,\u201d McCarthy added. <\/p>\n<p> Schiff\u2019s Rise from Russia <\/p>\n<p>Schiff was appointed ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee six months before Donald Trump descended on the golden escalator in 2015. By the time Trump captured the White House, Schiff had become the Democrats\u2019 point man on their prime conspiracy to take down the president and undermine democracy in the form of the Russia hoax. In fact, Schiff was the original Russia hoaxer who claimed repeatedly for years to have evidence that Trump colluded with Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff used his perch on the Intelligence Committee to foment fear that the new Republican president was in fact a Russian agent who colluded with the Kremlin for command of the Oval Office. He did so through leaks and testimony to the media which <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2017\/12\/08\/18-questions-cnn-needs-to-answer-after-getting-busted-for-fake-news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">published claims unchecked<\/a>, making Schiff\u2019s office an apparent ground zero for the false and damaging narrative of Russian collusion. <\/p>\n<p>In March 2017, Schiff <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2017\/03\/schiff-russia-trump-collusion-236386\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> on MSNBC \u201cthere is more than circumstantial evidence\u201d that Trump\u2019s campaign colluded with the Russian government. Two months later, the Justice Department <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/appointment-special-counsel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">appointed<\/a> a special counsel investigation to probe whether Trump was indeed guilty of collusion. The two-year investigation run with unlimited resources would eventually come up short of finding one person on the Trump campaign, let alone Trump himself, that colluded with the Kremlin.
