Despite being censured by the House in June 2023 for \u200bmisleading the public and misconduct, California voters \u200bpromoted him. The censure called for an ethics investigation into his alleged falsehoods and misuse of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/roger-stone-exclusive-does-cnn-ever-report-the-truth-cpac-rap-video-mischaracterized-in-smear\/\" title=\"ROGER STONE EXCLUSIVE: Does CNN Ever Report the Truth? CPAC Rap Video Mischaracterized in Smear\">sensitive data<\/a> while serving on the House Intelligence\u200c Committee. Schiff had claimed to possess evidence of collusion between Donald \u2063trump and Russia during the 2016 election, but reports later \u2064confirmed \u2063that such evidence never existed. Schiff continued to assert thes \u200dclaims even after investigations \u200cfrom Special Counsel Robert Mueller and others debunked the narrative. Additionally, there are controversial instances, such \u2063as his mischaracterization of a phone \u200ccall\u2063 between Trump and \u200cukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in 2019.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Visitors in Washington, D.C. should be careful in the hallways between the House and Senate chambers of the U.S. Capitol; there may be a slippery trail of slime as, after more than 20 years in the House, former U.S. Rep.

He spoke of this evidence often, on television and in hearings, but reports confirmed it &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/118th-congress\/house-resolution\/521\/text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">never existed<\/a>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Schiff nonetheless <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/adam-schiff-insists-his-russia-collusion-claim-wasnt-overstatement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">clung<\/a> to the Russia Collusion lie even after these reports by Special Counsel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/archives\/sco-mueller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Robert Mueller<\/a>, Department of Justice Inspector General <a href=\"https:\/\/oig.justice.gov\/node\/16547\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Michael Horowitz<\/a>, and Special Counsel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/sco-durham\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">John Durham<\/a>, debunked the Russia narrative.   <\/p>\n<p>In 2019, Schiff mischaracterized a phone call between Donald Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky in which Trump urged Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden&rsquo;s role in getting rid of a Ukranian prosecutor looking into a <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/08\/03\/media-talking-points-about-the-biden-forced-firing-of-ukraines-prosecutor-are-laughable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">company<\/a> where Hunter Biden was on payroll.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff claimed Trump&rsquo;s response to Zelensky&rsquo;s request for further U.S. aid in Ukraine during the call read &ldquo;like a classic organized crime shakedown.&rdquo; Then Schiff delivered a creatively reworded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=h6tqdkDsFt4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reenactment<\/a> of the call for the congressional record claiming Trump was asking Zelensky to &ldquo;make up dirt on my political opponent.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It is a big fat lie. There were no threats from Trump. We know this because Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trumps-ukraine-call-transcript-read-the-document\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">released the transcript<\/a> of the call.<strong> <\/strong>Zelensky even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/116\/meeting\/house\/110281\/documents\/HHRG-116-JU00-20191204-SD176.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> he was not pressured or blackmailed in the call, according to the Wall Street Journal. But that didn&rsquo;t stop Schiff from leading an impeachment inquiry into Trump. Meanwhile, Trump recognized actual corruption and tried to investigate it.<\/p>\n<p>From the transcript, it appears Zelensky was also concerned about the Biden family&rsquo;s activities in Ukraine and indicated that investigations would continue.<\/p>\n<p>Not only was there nothing wrong with the call, but it was the kind of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/buttigieg-infrastructure-bill-wont-wrap-by-memorial-day\/\" title=\"Buttigieg: Infrastructure Bill Won&#039;t Wrap by Memorial Day\">frank conversation<\/a> you would expect two national leaders to have &mdash; the kind of conversation President Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris are not capable of leading.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff&rsquo;s lies did not stop there. In a hearing about the chaos at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, &ldquo;Schiff claimed to have proof that a member of Congress texted former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to instruct former Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/katie-couric-trump-supporters-need-to-be-deprogrammed-video\/\" title=\"Katie Couric: Trump Supporters Need to Be \u201cDeprogrammed\u201d (VIDEO)\">2020 presidential election results<\/a>,&rdquo; as The Federalist&rsquo;s Sean Davis previously <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/12\/15\/during-january-6-hearing-schiff-doctored-text-messages-between-mark-meadows-and-rep-jim-jordan\/\">reported<\/a>. Schiff lied about the tenor of the message during the hearing and misrepresented it with a doctored graphic in which some of the text&rsquo;s content had been cut out.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff also <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">made countless media appearances<\/a> where he pushed falsehoods based on evidence he did not have, claiming Trump was a traitor, colluded with Russia, and effectively stole the 2016 election. The media <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2020\/01\/27\/trump-is-right-adam-schiff-has-not-paid-for-damaging-the-country-with-years-of-lies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">amplified his rhetoric<\/a>, and neither Schiff nor the media has apologized for the damage they did to the U.S. by perpetuating the Russia hoax. Some Americans still believe these lies.<\/p>\n<p>If Schiff hadn&rsquo;t been so hellbent on bringing down Trump, he might have realized that there ought to be an investigation into the Biden family&rsquo;s dealings in Ukraine. <\/p>\n<p>America is lessened when leaders ignore corruption.<\/p>\n<p>We can hope Schiff will just sit back, and rake in that sweet Senate paycheck, and leave Trump alone. It is what the voters want. But that is not his MO. He has nothing to contribute but interference.<\/p>\n<p>America will be lessened with Adam Schiff in the Senate.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Beth Brelje is an elections correspondent for The Federalist.
