In rowdy scene, House censures Rep. Adam Schiff over Trump-Russia investigations
The House voted Wednesday to censure California Rep. Adam Schiff for
comments he made several years ago about investigations into Donald Trump’s
ties to Russia, rebuking the Democrat and frequent critic of the former president
along party lines.
Schiff becomes the 25th House lawmaker to be censured. He was defiant ahead
of the vote, saying he will wear the formal disapproval as a “badge of honor” and
charging his GOP colleagues of doing the former president’s bidding.
“I will not yield,” Schiff, who is running for the Senate in his home state, said
during debate over the measure. “Not one inch.”
Yet the censure by the Rs in the House came on the same day as this.

Adam Schiff Gets John Durham to Admit Russia Helped Trump
When Republicans brought Special Counsel John Durham to the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, they thought it’d be an opportunity to score points on Democrats—particularly Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who spent years hyping up Donald Trump’s connections to Russia.
What they got instead was a viral moment when Schiff got Durham—the man tasked with concluding whether the FBI’s investigation of Russia’s connections to the 2016 Trump campaign was appropriate—took Durham to task.
Schiff, a former impeachment manager against Trump, questioned Durham about whether President Trump flaunted information that was released by Russian hackers during the 2016 election. Durham repeatedly insisted he had no knowledge of the matter. But in the midst of the exchange, Durham clearly stated he doesn’t doubt the validity of evidence showing Russia was trying to help Trump—something many Republicans have vehemently denied.
It really looks as if Schiff's real offense was to publicly criticize their Dear Leader.
