Adam Schiff has been proven to be a liar. Schiff’s memo rebuttal to Nunes’s memo has been shown to be false thanks to the IG report. [Schiff Memo](https://www.vox.com/2018/2/24/17048764/schiff-memo-nunes-read-full-text-pdf) [IG Report](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=26&ved=2ahUKEwjQw6DwpLDmAhUphuAKHf8WCLQQFjAZegQIBxAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fjustice.gov%2Fstorage%2F120919-examination.pdf&usg=AOvVaw3y7zu7Baw34PR5JHcQ9E-l) There’s no excuse for Schiff’s lies, he had access to the same information as Nunes which means he knows better but still lied to the American people. Schiff has not credibility and should be removed as the chairmen of that committee. ---

Before we delve into the details, I want to make sure I understand the underlying principle here. Are you asserting that if an elected official lies to the American people about law enforcement findings, they should be removed from power? ---

You’ll need to be more specific. You should know better than to merely post links leading to long reads without saying what is present in those links to support your comments. ---

There’s no excuse for Trump’s lies, he had access to the same information as the FBI, CIA, DOJ and the Democrats, which means he knows better but still lied to the American people.

He’s been doing the same thing in the Carter Page/FISA thread for months. “The IG report proves that the FBI lied!” “Where does it say that?” “It’s in the report, see for yourself!” “The report is 400 pages, where does it say that?” ---
