Nancy Mace is a colossal liar.
And so today Mace said another, saying that Rep. Adam Schiff was censured for leaking classified documents during the Russia investigations, which is patently untrue.
Even the Fox News chyron said Schiff was censored for the Trump-Russia allegations, with no documents leaked.
“He was censured and expelled from the Intel committee for leaking classified information from the Intel committee,” Rep. Mace said. “And as the left and the Democrats encouraged, leaking classified information is okay as long as your last name isn’t Trump, because that’s the same group of people who want to see Donald Trump spend the rest of his life in prison for having documents he did not disclose.”
Representative Schiff was not censured or expelled from the Intel committee for leaking classified documents.
McCarthy gave in to the wackos so he could get their votes to become president and agreed to take on Schiff, who was a highly effective lawmaker in both impeachment trials. Schiff was kicked off the committee because Qevin said so.
The censorship was Republican revenge on the Russian investigations, as PBS reports.
The revised resolution says Schiff held positions of power during Trump’s presidency and “abused that trust by saying there was evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.”
“Representative Schiff deliberately misled his committee, Congress, and the American people,” the resolution reads.
We know there was certainly collusion between Trump campaign officials and Russia – it was proven and fully described in the Mueller report. Schiff exhibited some of that during his destruction of Durham yesterday.
In either case, there was no mention of former President Schiff leaking classified documents to anyone, including the media.
The meme docs leak began with a claim by Mike Pompeo made in January, which has never been verified by anyone.
Lying to protect Trump is the platform of the GOP.
