Rockland Congressman Mike Lawler was one of 20 House Republicans who voted not to censure and fine Adam Schiff on Wednesday.
In a tweet explaining his reasoning for going against the majority of his party, and siding with over 200 Democrats, Lawler wrote: “We will hold Adam Schiff accountable, but we must do so constitutionally.”
Lawler posted the following graphic accusing Schiff of ‘abusing his power and lying to the American people’, but saying that he believes in “due process”:
The resolution, which ultimately failed, called to censure and condemn Schiff for being the poster boy of the Russia collusion hoax, and falsely claiming numerous times there was circumstantial evidence against President Trump.
Trump was fully exonerated of the baseless allegations.
The resolution also called to censure Schiff for his role in leading an impeachment inquiry against Trump. During that inquiry, while sitting in the chamber, Schiff recited a made-up phone conversation between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky, pretending that Trump asked him to fabricate evidence against Joe Biden.
The resolution stated that the American taxpayer paid $32 million to fund the special counsel into Trump, based on Schiff’s “lies, misrepresentations, and abuses of sensitive information.”
It also called for Schiff to be fined $16 million if the Committee on Ethics found that Schiff “lied, made misrepresentations, and abused sensitive information.”
The chamber voted 225-196-7 for the unsuccessful resolution.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy removed Schiff from the Intelligence Committee for his egregious behavior.
The reason why he voted no is because if you fine someone 16 million dollars, then when they have power they'll fine everyone else they don't like. Basic politics.
