Whereas for years Representative Schiff abused this trust by 
citing evidence of collusion that—as is clear from reports 
by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Department of Jus-
tice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, and Special 
Counsel Durham—does not exist; 
Whereas by repeatedly telling these falsehoods, Representa-
tive Schiff purposely deceived his Committee, Congress, 
and the American people; 
Whereas Representative Schiff lent credibility to the Steele 
dossier—a collection of debunked collusion accusations 
funded by President Trump’s political rivals—by reading 
false Steele allegations into the Congressional Record at 
a HPSCI hearing on March 20, 2017; 
Whereas, once again abusing his privileged access to classi-
fied information, Representative Schiff composed a false 
memo justifying the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act 
(FISA) warrant application on Trump associate Carter 
Page, which Inspector General Horowitz later found was 
riddled with 17 major mistakes and omissions, provoking 
FISA Court Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer to state 
unequivocally that the Federal Bureau of Investigation 
‘‘mislead the FISC’’; 
Whereas by publicly smearing Carter Page as a Russian col-
laborator and justifying spurious investigations of him, 
Representative Schiff contributed to the gross violation of 
a United States citizen’s civil liberties, thereby commit-
ting the very abuses HPSCI is tasked with identifying 
and thwarting; 
Whereas, as HPSCI ranking minority member and Chair-

denying that his staff coordinated with a whistleblower to 
launch the first impeachment of President Trump; 
Whereas, as part of his impeachment efforts, during an 
HPSCI hearing on September 26, 2019, Representative 
Schiff recited a false, concocted rendition of a phone call 
between President Trump and Ukrainian President 
Volodymyr Zelensky; 
Whereas Representative Schiff exploited his positions on 
HPSCI to encourage and excuse abusive intelligence in-
vestigations of Americans for political purposes; 
Whereas Representative Schiff used his position and access to 
sensitive information to instigate a fraudulently based in-
vestigation, which he then used to amass political gain 
and fundraising dollars; and 
Whereas the American taxpayers paid $32 million to fund the 
investigation into collusion that was launched as a result 
of Rep. Schiff’s lies, misrepresentations, and abuses of 
sensitive information: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That— 
(1) the House of Representatives censures and 
condemns Adam Schiff, Representative of Califor-
nia’s 30th Congressional District, for conduct that 
misleads the American people in a way that is not 
befitting an elected Member of the House of Rep-
resentatives; 
(2) Representative Adam Schiff will forthwith 
present himself in the well of the House of Rep-
resentatives for the pronouncement of censure;
