As we all now know. Shifty lied repeatedly during the Russia hoax. Being told time after time in intelligence briefings that there was no evidence of any deal between Trump and Russia. Then time after time running to the cameras afterwards claiming that he had solid evidence there was. He repeated this lie for months. Lying to the faces of congress and hundreds of CNN viewers in airports across America. Trying to set up a legally elected President to take the fall for a crime he did not commit. This is about as serious and offence that can be commited. As close to treason as you can get. So what would be the proper punishment? Censure? Impeachment? What should be the consequences for Shifty?
BTW. Please respect the topic. This is about Shifty. Not The President. We have already heard your opinion of the president about 1000 times. Thanks!
I didn’t ask that. I asked if he should be impeached. I believe that you charge people for crimes. You try. Even if you can’t get a conviction. What do you think should be done with Shifty?
If it was up to me, he would simply be voted out of office in 2020; or at the very least the GOP would take back the house and he could simply lose his power.
Outside of those two actions, I don’t see there is much we can do other than complain!
Members of congress cannot be impeached; each house is responsible for its own members. Removing a member of the House requires a two-thirds majority in the House; there is no trial in the senate.
Schiff could face prosecution if he violated federal law, but lying to the media is not illegal.
I would love to see him kicked out of office, but that is very unlikely given the district he represents.
An disciplinary action by the House is unlikely unless the Republicans take control. A Republican-controlled House would be the best punishment as far I am concerned.
