The House should Censure Adam Schiff

Adam Schiff has really gone too far.  For the last year and a half, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence committee has allegedly made a career of leaking information presented to that committee in closed session if anything could make the President or the administration look bad.  Schiff also used his position to get on TV more than almost any other Democrat in DC.

The Russia investigation, however, has fallen apart.  There still is no hint of evidence of collusion and it seems that Mueller has given up trying to find any.  That has pushed Schiff from leaking to lying.  Here's the start of a report about what Schiff said today:

The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee called President Trump the “gravest threat to American democracy” he’s ever seen after a Helsinki summit at which, he said, the president showed that he was “prepared to essentially betray the national security interests of the United States.”

Here's the problem.  Schiff wasn't in Helsinki.  He wasn't in the room with Trump and Putin.  He doesn't know what was said.  Nevertheless, without having any information, Schiff says that the President is prepared to betray our national security.  Schiff never explains how this betrayal is taking place.  He just levels the charge.

I think that the House should censure Schiff for this conduct.  He ought not be charging the President with what constitutes treason with not even any basis for his statements.
