Florida Rep. Ana Luna filed a resolution on Wednesday evening to expel Rep. Adam Schiff, formerly the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, from Congress alleging that he pushed a false narrative to the American people in the Trump-Russia investigation.
"Adam Schiff lied to the American people. He used his position on House Intelligence to push a lie that cost American taxpayers millions of dollars and abused the trust placed in him as Chairman. He is a dishonor to the House of Representatives," Luna said in a press release Wednesday, May 17.

Republicans, like Luna, have been vocal that lawmakers should face the consequences for the report after the Durham Report found significant FBI failures and no evidence that Donald Trump's campaign was coordinated with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election.
The full report was released by the Justice Department on Monday, May 15 after a year-long investigation in a report that spans more than 300 pages.
"The Durham Report makes clear that the Russian Collusion was a lie from day one and Schiff knowingly used his position in an attempt to divide our country," Luna added.

In the past, Schiff has repeatedly claimed there is "clear evidence on the issue of collusion" between the Kremlin and Trump's 2016 campaign.
"I don't want to go into specifics, but I will say that there is evidence that is not circumstantial. But as I've said all along, there's plenty of evidence of collusion," he told "Meet The Press" in 2017.
Following the freshman's congresswoman's announcement, Schiff struck back in a Twitter post, saying that a "MAGA Republican" wants payback.
"A MAGA Republican Member of Congress just filed a motion to expel me from the U.S. House of Representatives. I stood up to Donald Trump and held extreme MAGA forces accountable," Schiff wrote in a Twitter post Wednesday night. "Now they want payback. They'll go after anyone who defends the rule of law."
While the Constitution gives Congress the ability to impeach federal officials and judges, it does not allow Congress to impeach its own members. However, members of Congress can be removed by expulsion, which requires a two-thirds vote.

There should be consequences.
Hey Vic, do you recognize this guy?
Hey Al, do you recognize this woman?
She was the one who made it all up!
Nah, his constituents will keep electing this proven liar.
Making them the real dimwits.
How about a comment about Schiff and his lies to the American people?
But that would be on topic and we can't have that........./s
He doesn't have a meme for that.
It would also take an ability to communicate beyond prewritten pictures created for him by his masters.
“Raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated.”
They got caught!
Yet, even Durham found that the origins of the CIA and FBI investigations (plural) into Trump's secretive relationships with Putin and Russia were legally predicated!
Are you going to now show us that the report actually said the opposite of what it clearly said?
The last person who tried that is no longer with us.
I still say he's trying to hypnotize us!
Lol ... he reminds me of the SNL character who said .... “yeah, that’s the ticket” as he lied outrageously
I don't know when Republicans will hit back, it's way past time.
The way has been pointed out for them.
Beats the living hell out of all those 'investigations' you constantly tout which produced NOTHING regarding Trump/Russian collusion.
He did a tremendous amount of damage to this country with his lies.
Adam Schiff reminds me of Mr. Potatohead,
Mr Potatohead is Brandon the Human Fuck Up Machine.
Schiff is Bobble Head Boy.
Time to put it to a vote.
Should this unapologetic liar be removed from congress?
Why in the world would you remove Adam from Congress when this liar is still there?
He lied about playing volleyball, Schiff lied to the public about national security issues including falsely claiming to have evidence the President colluded with a foreign power. Schiff's a traitor, Santos is a joke.
I ask the same question from the other way.
You've been trying to knock this guy out, so why dosen't McCarthy do the same with Schiff, Swalwell and Omar?
LMAO, volleyball was the least of his lies, and there are dozens of them. In addition you do know that he was indicted for:
What is George Santos charged with?
The 13-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury Tuesday includes
Schiff is has been in Congress how long now? And has lead how many investigations based on lies where he claims he has either "seen the evidence" or "has the evidence"?
The DOJ hasn't moved on Schiff once. Meanwhile Santos is already facing Federal charges.
How can hypocritical Democrats and leftist be screaming for Santos' head; while the Shit Show Schiff is still in office?
You've done it again.
We'll see if any of them has an answer.
We all know that there will never be a straight answer to this.
At 5:PM I'll post a list of how many were capable of answering the question.
Great rant and you didn’t use brown shirts one time. Since you addressed your comment to me where I was screaming for santos head? I just pointed out what a liar he is.
santos was indicted on numerous charges. To date schiff has not been indicted on any charges. See the difference?
Sure there will be and there is. Schiff has not been indicted for any crime. until the republicans can produce one all of you can keep on whining it does’t mean anything but it seems to satisfy your imagination.
Tried and failed to answer the question.
Is a crime the new standard for House censoring or expulsion?
Only in the eyes of a blind man or partisan hack.
So you are claiming that Shiff had evidence of Trump/Russia collusion? Is THAT the nonsense you are sticking with?
It will never happen. The Establishment Republicans in the House will side with the Democrats.
The doctrinaire Conservatives are loyal to McCarthy. I think they'll go along. Thus far we have seen unexpected unity from center & right.
Anna Luna should be careful about who she is calling a liar, here in Florida she is known as the mini George Santos.
It took a brave woman to go against Schiff.
I take it you were in favor of what Schiff did? Lying & leaking? All is fair in love & war?
LOL, what bravery did it take, she is a Republican what ill could fall her from Schiff?
It's foolish to make assumptions, Vic. It makes one look foolish.
As I have stated produce an indictment and then you have something to talk about until then all it is is a lot of hot air.
" Knowingly using your position on House Intel to push a lie that ripped apart our country , cost taxpayers millions of dollars, and authorized spying on a US President and then proceeding to double down on the lie within days of the Durham report coming out makes you unfit for office ," wrote Luna in a late Wednesday tweet, adding "Ethics should investigate."
Widespread support for Donald Trump to become president in 2016 is what ripped apart our country. He was the most unqualified person to run for high office in modern American history.
That's like saying obesity causes people to eat too many cheeseburgers.
He is an idiot and that makes him a perfect California candidate to replace Feinstein.
Most of the lefties here ONLY care about Trump or Republican lies. Remember Harry Reid's attitude about LYING on the floor of the Senate? They were all happy and cool with his lies, just like they were about Adam Schiff's lies. Mainly because they made Trump a target.
We have to try and make him accountable.
