U.S. House Rep. Adam Schiff (R-CA) and U.S. House Rep. Eric Swalwell (R-CA) have both been removed from the House Intelligence Committee.
This news isn’t new, as Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy has only kept his word that he would remove them when he had the power. It seems that now that it has actually happened, Schiff feels wounded. He took to Twitter to call it “petty, political payback”. He then went on to declare that he won’t stop.
Schiff tweeted in full:
“Kevin McCarthy just kicked me and @RepSwalwell off the Intelligence Committee. This is petty, political payback for investigating Donald Trump. If he thinks this will stop me, he will soon find out just how wrong he is. I will always defend our democracy.”
Schiff to some seems to be the most publicly dramatic member of Congress. He seems to jump at the chance to blame former President Donald Trump for anything he can. He even believes investigating Trump is the reason he was removed from the House Intelligence Committee.
However, according to McCarthy’s letter to minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), he compares removing Schiff and Swalwell to what the Democrats did in the last Congress, removing Paul Gosar (R-AZ and Marjorie Taylor Greene from committees.)
This contrast in reasoning only points to Schiff’s seemingly only motivating factor, what many may call “Trump Derangement Syndrome”. This seems to be Schiff’s motivation for everything he does, calling it defending “democracy”. It seems he may need a self-assessment.
Trump has been out of office for over two years now, yet Schiff seems to point his finger at former POTUS for just about everything, maybe because he’s running for president again?

Haha..wallow in it, bug eyes. You should be in shackles.
“Kevin McCarthy just kicked me and @RepSwalwell off the Intelligence Committee. This is petty, political payback for investigating Donald Trump.
DAM STRAIGHT SKIPPY!
This is what lying to the American public buys you.
Seems like a good start
Funny stuff. Pelosi created the precedent based on speech she found objectionable. She was warned, the Dems were warned, that the act of removing MTG would come back to haunt them.
Now the GOP has power and the worm has turned. But this time it isn’t about objectionable speech or ideas.
Swalwell should have been removed BY PELOSI the moment the Fang Fang story broke. Had he been an employee or contractor of ANY federal agency he would have lost his clearance and possibly been arrested.
Schiff used his position to deliberately sabotage the Executive branch. He made dozens of accusations and statements he KNEW were lies in an effort to Impeach and remove Trump from office. He knowingly treated fabricated “evidence” as factual when he KNEW it was fake. He demonstrated that politics are more important to him than national security.
Omar has absolutely no business on the Foreign Affairs Committee. That position brings her into regular contact with our allies and other foreign actors. It lends a level of “credibility” to her voice, especially outside the US with those who may not know better. Her long established anti-Semitic sentiments are an anathema to all Americans. The fact that she has voiced them as a Member is appalling. Once again we have a situation where Pesoli should have removed her.
And before you type it, yes, I want Santos removed from Congress. If the investigation into his campaign finances turns up crimes McCarthy himself should refer Santos to the Ethics Committee
It must have been the little pink dress, Adam, you know, the one with the petticoats. Most people just do not like to see their political leaders in infantile role-playing games. Standards have reached the nadir and are going up… Rectitude intrudes like it always does when perfect possession reveals itself.
Why hasn’t Schiff been EXPELLED from Congress for his blatant LIES? This fool is unbelievable, as bad as the low IQ Santos. Swalwell is in need of prison for espionage via Fang Fang. Both are snakes and need removal like trash.
It is nice to read good news for America.
Schiffty needs a long prison sentence.
What a petty, self-absorbed little man. And I use the term “man” only because he is male. He is slanderous, dishonest, untruthful, and looks quite demented, especially when the name “Trump” is uttered in his hearing. He has done nothing honorable, helpful, patriotic or honest in his time in office. He is a disgrace to this country.
Well when you sleep with a communist spy and are IMO a habitual liar never presenting promised witnesses and are always miss representing propaganda and intentional lies as truth what do you expect? This is well deserved for a nutcase such as yourself so find a corner to cry in and shut up for once.
This is only step one. Now refer Schiff and Swalwell to the ethic committee to officially remove them from congress.
Seems to me that Dems did the same thing two years ago. Ain’t karma a bitch.
Every time I hear a Democrat scream Democracy, Democracy, Democracy I too want to scream. What they are really saying is that they do not believe in the Constitution and rule of law since the word democracy does not appear in our Constitution. The founding fathers international left it out because they didn’t want 51% dictating to 49% which is exactly what Democrats want.
Silly Shiff. Lying and Gas-lighting have consequences.
IT’S TO BAD THET McCARTHY COULDN’T EXPEL BOTH OF THEM FROM CONGRESS, THAT WOULD HAVE MADE AMERICAS DAY.
I may not be an expert in political science, Mr. Schiff, but I just don’t understand how lying your ass off for so many years constitutes “defending Democracy”.
“Democracy” is nothing more than a politically-designed, man-made distinction, and not a word to be used as it has been for decades.
HaHA pencil neck what goes around comes around you communist bastard.
“Petty, political payback” ?!? You democrats have certainly cornered the market on that now haven’t you! <:))
McCarthy didn’t remove you and your perverted little sidekick for any sort of revenge you fool. You were both removed because you are both a couples of douche bags!!!
You have the credibility and usefulness of a used condom with a hole in it!
Oh, Schiffty, this is how politics works and don’t forget to blame the Big Bad Orange Guy for this.
Too bad you still get a vote, but you do get a lot less media exposure as a committee lead.
