Republican Representative Thomas Massie from Kentucky is refusing to support any punishment for Democrat Representative Adam Schiff’s involvement in the sham investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Despite knowing that the allegations were false, Schiff and other liberals allowed the investigation to proceed, wasting precious resources that America doesn’t have in abundance these days. This misleading investigation was started by Hillary Clinton, who created the lie that President Donald Trump was colluding with the Russians to discredit him before the election.
@RepThomasMassie said he will not support a House resolution to fine @RepAdamSchiff for his involvement in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Massie claimed it would violate the Constitution.https://t.co/LYQTVeGezc

Barack Obama and Joe Biden knew that Clinton was lying, but they did nothing to stop it. As the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Schiff should have prioritized America’s interests over his party’s, but he didn’t. Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna from Florida is pushing for justice by imposing a significant fine on Schiff for abusing his constituents’ trust for political gain.
The Constitution says the House may make its own rules but we can’t violate other (later) provisions of the Constitution.
A $16 million fine is a violation of the 27th and 8th amendments.

However, Representative Massie from Kentucky is not ready to take such an extreme step. He argues that while Schiff acted unethically, a $16 million fine would go against the 27th and 8th amendments of the Constitution. Massie has recently filed a lawsuit against Speaker Nancy Pelosi over a salary reduction he received for refusing to wear a mask, indicating his dedication to upholding the Constitution.
