Shifty Adam Schiff, congressman from the 30th district of California, is up to his old tricks—lying to the American public about election interference. This past week, news broke that former President Donald Trump’s campaign was hacked, and some important files were stolen, including the file about the vetting process of Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance.

The FBI has begun investigating the hack, and reports suggest that Iran is behind it and not Russia as previously thought. In an intelligence report, Microsoft explained that the nature of the hack and subsequent contact of the media through a fake account under the pseudonym “Robert” suggest Iranian fingerprints are on this cyberattack. “Iranian cyber-enabled influence operations have been a consistent feature of at least the last three U.S. election cycles. Iran’s operations have been notable and distinguishable from Russian campaigns for appearing later in the election season and employing cyberattacks more geared toward election conduct than swaying voters,” a report stated.

Of course, all of these facts played no bearing in Adam Schiff’s take on the latest hack. Schiff took to social media to repeat the propaganda he spewed against Trump after the 2016 election. Despite the intelligence suggesting the hack came from Iran, Schiff trotted out the hackneyed villain—Russia Russia Russia.

In a thread on X, Schiff waxed idiotically trying desperately to link the Iranian hack with the one in 2016. He first attempted to be a noble statesman and condemn foreign interference outright saying, “[W]e should all condemn any foreign interference in our elections, no matter which party it harms or helps, Democrats or Republicans. No equivocation.”

He then shredded any ounce of credibility and integrity that statement bought him by directly stating that Trump worked in collusion with Russia in 2016. “In 2016, the Trump campaign welcomed Russian interference, took advantage of it, and then sought to deny it, much to the detriment of the country,” he wrote.

During much of Donald Trump’s presidency, Schiff served as chair of the House Intelligence Committee and was privileged to information many other government officials were not. So when he lied about having evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia, many believed him, and an investigation ensued. After millions of American tax-payer dollars were spent investigating the claim, Schiff became a proven liar.

Last year, Schiff was formally censured by the House of Representatives for his negligence and false accusations. Representative Anna Paulina Luna from Florida laid out the facts best when she spoke right before the censure vote. “As chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff launched an all-out political campaign built on baseless distortions against a sitting U.S. president, at the expense of every single citizen in this country and the honor of the House of Representatives,” Luna said. “With access to sensitive information unavailable to most members of Congress and certainly not accessible to the American people, Schiff abused his privileges, claiming to know the truth while leaving Americans in the dark about his web of lies… lies so severe that they altered the course of the country forever.”

The motion to censure Schiff passed along party lines on the second try. The first one failed because it contained language that would have required Schiff to pay a $16 million fine. Considering Schiff is continuing to repeat the lie, he obviously has not learned his lesson and perhaps the fine would have done him some good.

It is obvious that Adam Schiff yearns for the spotlight. With the whiplash-inducing speed of the news cycle, his name is not on the lips of the media. So when he saw an opportunity to regurgitate the lie that brought him notoriety, he threw any modicum of integrity out the window and seized it. Perhaps he is scared of his own coming election. In his US Senate race against Steve Garvey, some media polls, like KTLA, have Schiff behind Garvey. Additionally, Garvey has raised more campaign funds than Schiff recently. Like any good Democrat running for office and scared of losing, Schiff is pulling out the propaganda to demonize his opponents rather than standing on his policies—probably because Marxism and radical progressive ideology is a losing platform that has done California no favors.

  1. Integrity and Schiff cannot coexist.
    He cannot help it, he is a pathological liar! He knows it, we know it and he knows we know it!
    I think he dwells in the sick gratification of his lies!

  2. It’s not surprising that Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff, who looks like a creepy groomer, is still pushing the Russia collusion hoax? It’s what pathological liars do?

    Meanwhile, Schiff has been strikingly absent from the national fentanyl conversation? According to Peter Schweizer’s book “Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans” Schiff has “financial connections to individuals involved with criminal networks in Southern California, many of whom are tied to money laundering and the drug trade.”

    Schiff represents California’s 30th Congressional District, which includes Burbank, Hollywood, Glendale, and Pasadena. Schweizer notes that the fentanyl crisis is rampant in upscale Burbank where at least seven high school students had overdosed on the deadly synthetic opioid in 2022 alone. Now, schools in the Burbank Unified School District are required to carry naloxone in the event of overdoses. The effects in the city have been far-reaching. The LA area saw fentanyl deaths skyrocket “by a stunning 1,208 percent from 2016 to 2022,” Schweizer reports.

    However, during Schiff’s tenure as House Intelligence chair during the 116th and 117th Congresses, the committee “did nothing” to address the issue of fentanyl, according to Blood Money. “If you go to the Intelligence Committee’s webpage that describes its work under his tenure, the word ‘fentanyl’ yields no results,” Schweizer reveals. “That is to say, the Intelligence Committee under his leadership, by its own account, did nothing on a topic that the Obama administration had declared a threat to our national security in 2017. A search of Schiff’s congressional webpage yields a lone mention of ‘fentanyl,’ a brief reference to a single piece of legislation.” Schweizer emphasizes that “Schiff was outspoken on the far, far less dangerous outbreak of monkeypox, demanding more action on a vaccine, even though it has killed no one in the United States at the time of this writing.” “Why Congressman Schiff has little to say about the deadly fentanyl crisis is an abiding mystery,” Schweizer writes. “Part of the reason may be that raising the issue might cause undue attention to his financial connections to individuals involved with criminal networks in Southern California, many of whom are tied to money laundering and the drug trade.”

    Allied Wallet – a “sketchy firm” that “was tied to money laundering, with a major footprint in China” – made one of the top donations to a joint fundraising committee that Schiff established with then-Sen Barbara Boxer (D-CA) in 2017 called PAC for a Change, Schweizer alleges. The $95,000 contribution from the company – which “made money processing credit card payments” for clients described as “‘high risk’ online retailers that traditional financial institutions avoid” – was followed by donations from individual company executives to Schiff’s Congressional campaign, according Schweizer’s Blood Money. One donation came from the company’s head, Andy Khawaja, a dual U.S. and Lebanon citizen who would be embroiled in a federal investigation.

    “Schiff’s congressional campaign took in at least $36,000 in donations from executives at Allied Wallet,” Schweizer notes. “Another $16,100 came from Khawaja, and two additional $10,000 contributions came from two other executives of the company. While Schiff was accepting those donations, it was publicly known that Allied Wallet had been under FBI investigation. It was not the first time: in 2010, Allied Wallet had been forced by federal authorities to forfeit $13 million for its involvement in an illegal gambling scheme.” Schweizer states that Khawaja was seeking “political access,” and with Schiff, he “clearly gained” it.

    “At the time Schiff accepted donations from the executives, the company was being investigated for its ties to ‘illegal pharma’ companies around the world. Khawaja threw a lot of money around, clearly in search of political access,” Schweizer writes.

    Schweizer also points out that Democrat mega-donor Ed Buck – who was convicted of two counts of distribution of controlled substances resulting in the death of two male prostitutes in 2022, was another donor to Schiff’s campaign and was also “a social acquaintance” of the representative.

    Moreover, according to Blood Money, China UnionPay – a Chinese state-owned company through which triads launder money – and Allied Wallet had a partnership. China UnionPay, “a card brand that ‘is often seen as an arm of Chinese state policy,’” has “close ties to the CCP,” Schweizer reports. “UnionPay has been used by organized crime groups and drug traffickers all around the world, including the Chinese triads. Allied Wallet seemed to function ‘as a sort of credit card processor for fraudsters, swindlers, and rip-off artists bilking the public out of more than $100 million.’”

    Schiff served as a California state senator before being elected to Congress in 2000. Schweizer writes that “some” of Schiff’s work in the California state senate “fueled financial crimes in his district.”

    “One bill related to Medi-Cal created a gateway for considerable fraud, which an organized crime syndicate in his district seized upon, perpetuating the largest Medicaid fraud case in history at the time. California business leaders warned Schiff about the fraud they were witnessing, but he appears to have ignored it,” Schweizer writes. “In 2010, four hundred FBI agents executed a massive investigation and arrested seventy Armenian mobsters. The criminals ran 118 phantom clinics, many of them in Schiff’s district. The ringleader, Armen Kazarian, lived in Schiff’s district.”

    Schiff voted against legislation in the U.S. House that would have further empowered the federal government to combat “gang violence by creating ‘an antiracketeering statute similar to the one used against the Mafia dons to prosecute criminal street gangs,’” Schweizer writes.
