What happened in Congress was nothing short of explosive. Adam Schiff, once one of the most powerful men in the House, was visibly shaken as two fearless Congresswomen, Anna Paulina Luna
and Harriet Hageman, tore through his record with pure facts, passion, and fire.
If you thought political accountability was dead in D.C., think again.
The American people do not trust Congress, and the focus of the fiery reckoning was simple:
Adam Schiff’s weaponization of his position as Chair of the House Intelligence Committee to launch an all-out, baseless political campaign against a sitting U.S. President.
The Tabloid of Lies: Wasting $32 Million and Ripping the Nation Apart
Rep. Luna led the charge, laying out the precise cost of Schiff’s “web of lies”: a fraudulent spending of $32 million in taxpayer dollars to knowingly “chase ghosts all for political gain.” This wasn’t just money wasted; it was a profound abuse of trust and authority that allegedly “altered the course of the country forever.”
Luna’s core accusations against Schiff:
- The Russia Collusion Lie: Schiff perpetuated the lie that President Donald Trump colluded with Russia, a narrative since revealed to be completely false by numerous investigations, including the Durham Report.
- The Debunked Steele Dossier: He abused his position by reading the Steele Dossier—a folder of falsified, Democrat-funded accusations—into the congressional record as fact, giving it a false shred of credibility.
- FISA Court Deceit: He used a false memo littered with 17 major mistakes and omissions to lie to the FISA court, precipitating domestic spying on U.S. citizen Carter Page and violating American civil liberties.
Luna charged that this egregious behavior was unforgivable, as Schiff “ripped apart American families across the country with repeated false narratives” solely for his own political gain, sewing “lasting division across our land.” The Congresswoman made it clear: this is not about politics; it is a clear vote between
right and wrong.
A Compulsive Liar: Undermining Integrity and the Rule of Law
Picking up where Luna left off, Wyoming’s Rep. Harriet Hageman, calm, confident, and deadly accurate, went straight for Schiff’s credibility and the sanctity of the Congressional oath.
Hageman stressed that Schiff’s actions were not just exaggerations; they were willful lies about serious issues, amounting to a claim of treason against a sitting President. These lies were designed to “delegitimize the 2016 election and to hamstring the Trump administration.”
She zeroed in on the corrosive effect of his conduct:
- Abuse of Classified Intel: Schiff consistently “implied, if not outright stated, that he had inside information,” then used this access to classified intel to deliberately manipulate the public narrative.
- False Claims: He lied about how the FBI and DOJ obtained and renewed a FISA warrant, lied about the use of the Steele Dossier, and lied about having a “smoking gun” showing Trump colluded with Russia.
Hageman declared that these were not just mistakes; they have “become compulsive” and weaken this body and our democracy. She concluded that “being censored is the least of what he should be subjected to.”
The Reckoning: Justice in Motion
By the time the gavel dropped, Schiff looked defeated. Both Luna and Hageman made it clear that this was not about Democrats versus Republicans; it was about
truth versus deception. They united under one message: Accountability begins now.
The fiery hearing was about restoring faith in Congress and proving that lies have consequences, even for those at the very top. Americans are tired of being lied to and deserve leaders who serve them, not themselves. The fight isn’t over, but today, the tables turned.
