Democrats successfully table House Republicans' push to censure Rep. Adam Schiff for impeachment probe comments.
House Republicans on Monday pushed for a vote to censure Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee leading the Democrats' impeachment probe of President Donald Trump, but Democrats successfully tabled the motion in a 218-185 party line vote.
"It will be said of House Republicans," Schiff tweeted shortly after the vote was tabled,"When they found they lacked the courage to confront the most dangerous and unethical president in American history, They consoled themselves by attacking those who did.
"I hear what you want," Schiff continued as he gave his version of the call."I have a favor I want from you, though, and I'm gonna say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? Lots of it -- on this and on that." The resolution also seeks to condemn Schiff for claiming the whistleblower had no contact with the House Intelligence Committee prior to filing the complaint.
On Oct. 4, after this news came to light, a Washington Post fact-check gave Schiff four Pinocchios for making false statements. A committee representative told the Post that Schiff"acknowledges that his statement should have been more carefully phrased to make that distinction clear.""I should have been much more clear, and I said so the minute it was brought to my attention," Schiff told CBS anchor Margaret Brennan.
