Wannabe authoritarian Adam Schiff should sit on no committees

From The Washington Examiner, by Commentary Writer Zachary Faria, 4 January 2023, 02:22 PM.

Here is the lede plus three:

While House Republicans continue to broadcast their incompetence to the country, other promises may end up being forgotten.  Some should not, including the promise to bar Rep. Adam Schiff from House committees.

Schiff, the California Democrat who served as the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, may be the most destructive member of the House.  While the bigotry of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (D-CA) association with a Chinese spy have drawn the most ridicule, it is Schiff’s tenure as the appointed intelligence master of the Democratic Party that raises the most concerns.

Most recently, journalist Matt Taibbi revealed that Schiff demanded Twitter censor and remove several of the site’s users, including banning accounts, deleting tweets, suppressing search results, and reducing the visibility of tweets.  The demands were so drastic that censor-happy Twitter balked at all of them, even Schiff’s demands to take action against the “harassment” of his staff.

Schiff used his position as a congressman and the chairman of the Intelligence Committee (and the implicit threat of government action that comes with it) to demand that Twitter censor people.  That is how Schiff views the role of government.

I see the Writer's point.  On the other hand, I was thrilled to see Rep Schiff on the 6 January Committee.  With his promises of revelations about then President Trump, which never emerged, he was in essence a Denier of the 2016 Election outcome.  An especially dishonest politician, willing to impeach President Trump so as to reverse the outcome of 2016.  It made the House 6 January Committee appear to me as a total farce.  Just another example of Speaker Nancy Pelosi's mindless animosity toward President Trump, like ripping up a State of the Union report, in public, as an example of distain.

That being said, I can see the value of implementing this Demoocratic Party initiative against Rep Schiff.  His actions as a Congressman indicate that Mr Schiff is not worthy of being on any Congressional Committees.
