The House will vote on a measure that would censure Representative Adam B. Schiff (D-California) for the second time in a week. Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s measure is different this time only because it doesn’t include the possibility of a $16 million fine against Schiff.
Rep. Jamie Raskin took Republicans to task and called it “a weapon of mass distraction from Trump’s indictment.”
The Maryland Democrat accused them of “hunting anyone who dares to think for themselves” and added, “But don’t take my word for it.”
“I have just read Friday’s statement from the insurgent instigator, sex abuser, defamer of women and charged with theft of national security secrets, war plans and top secret classified documents himself,” he said. he continued.
“On Friday, Trump mailed this order to his supporters, and this threat laid bare to anyone who would dare challenge his control over the GOP,” Raskin said. “Quote, any Republican voting against Adam Schiff’s censure or worse should immediately be a primary, he wrote.”
“The Lunar Resolution is a massive distraction weapon from Trump’s indictment by a Florida grand jury on 37 federal charges related to obstruction and unlawful withholding of defense information for storing dozens of classified documents secrets and top secrets at his Florida compound, in his bathroom, bedroom, and beyond, then repeatedly refusing for over a year to return these official documents to the archives and the FBI,” Raskin said. .
“It’s amazing to me that they have to change the subject from one of Donald Trump’s current offenses against America to one of his older offenses, praising Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign,” he added.
If I (still) have trouble with the law, can someone ask Raskin to take a pro bono case for me, please? Thanks in advance.
