Adam Schiff pay a hefty price for pushing the discredited story of Russian collusion with the 2016 Trump campaign onto the American people. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida has called for Schiff to be censured and fined $16 million for his leading role in promoting the false tale of collusion as the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Luna stated, \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 She added, \u201cThis will be a privileged motion to censure &#038; a $16 million dollar fine (half the cost of the Russia hoax investigation) meaning I WILL bring this vote to the house floor. I will not back down from this and I, along with my Republican colleagues, look forward to holding Schiff ACCOUNTABLE for his actions.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This will be a privileged motion to censure &#038; a $16 million dollar fine (half the cost of the Russia hoax investigation) meaning I WILL bring this vote to the house floor.
