Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think everybody knows my thoughts of Adam Schiff,\u201d McCarthy told The Epoch Times. \u201cThat\u2019s why I removed him from [the House Intelligence Committee]. \u2026 You have a number of members on principle that sat and argued for the last four years with President [Donald] Trump that you had to have due process and voted that way. And I think a number of them believe that they should [have] gone to [the House Ethics Committee] first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The motion to shelve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/118th-congress\/house-resolution\/489\/text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the resolution<\/a>, introduced by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), passed 225\u2013196.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution blasted Schiff, who was the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, for perpetuating the notion there was collusion between Trump\u2019s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia\u2014which was debunked by special counsel Robert Mueller in 2019, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz later the same year, and special counsel John Durham in May.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution stated that, \u201cby repeatedly telling these falsehoods,\u201d Schiff \u201cpurposely deceived his committee, Congress, and the American people.\u201d It also accused Schiff of having \u201cused his position and access to sensitive information to instigate a fraudulently based investigation, which he then used to amass political gain and fundraising dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The resolution would have fined Schiff $16 million were he held liable by the House Ethics Committee, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2019\/08\/02\/politics\/mueller-report-cost\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">half the cost<\/a> of the Mueller probe.<\/p>\n<h3>Republicans Who Supported Shelving the Resolution<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Rep.
