The House will vote on a measure that would censure Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) for the second time in a week. Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's measure is only different this time because it does not 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 "driving out anyone who dares to think for himself or herself" and added, "But don't take my word for it."
"Just read Friday's statement by the twice-impeached inciter of insurrection, sexual abuser, defamer of women, and indicted pilferer of national security secrets, war plans, and top secret classified documents himself," he continued.
"On Friday, Trump posted this order to his followers, and this unveiled threat to anyone who would dare to defy his control over the GOP," Raskin said. "Quote, any Republican voting against Adam Schiff's censure or worse should immediately be primaried, he wrote."
"The Lunar Resolution is a weapon of mass distraction from Trump's indictment by a Florida grand jury on 37 federal charges relating to obstruction and unlawful retention of defense information for storing dozens of classified secret and top secret documents at his Florida resort, in his bathroom, his bedroom, and beyond, and then refusing repeatedly for more than a year to return any of 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, welcoming Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign," he added.
If I'm ever in legal trouble (again), can someone get Raskin to take a pro bono case for me, pretty please? Thank you in advance.
