House Democrats voted late Oct. 21 to set aside a Republican motion to censure House Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) “for conduct that misleads the American people.”

The resolution was introduced by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) and was tabled on a vote of 218–185, thus effectively killing it, at least for now.

Schiff has been Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) lead actor in the impeachment inquiry against Trump she announced Sept. 24, based on a whistleblower complaint alleging that Trump threatened during a July 25 telephone call with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky to withhold U.S. military if the latter didn’t reopen a corruption investigation of the business dealings there of Hunter Biden, former Vice President Joe Biden’s son.

As expected, Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) instructed Democrats to vote for tabling the Schiff censure motion, which would kill it. The first tally announced showed no Democrats voting with Republicans against tabling the resolution.

Even if the House ultimately impeaches Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) have made clear a motion to convict Trump would fail in the upper chamber.

Among the censure resolution’s charges are that during a nationally televised hearing on Sept. 26, Schiff “purported to relay the content of the phone call to the American people” by creating “a false retelling of the conversation between President Trump and President Zelensky,” instead of reading directly from the transcript.

Schiff later conceded his version of the call transcript was a “fable,” and the censure resolution describes it as an “egregiously false and fabricated retelling had no relationship to the call itself.”

The resolution further charges that Schiff’s actions “misled the American people, bring disrepute upon the House of Representatives, and make a mockery of the impeachment process, one of this chamber’s most solemn constitutional duties.”

In addition, the resolution condemns Schiff for spreading “false accusations that Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign “colluded with Russia” and claiming to have “more than circumstantial evidence” of the alleged collusion.

Also, the resolution condemns Schiff for “negotiating with Russian comedians who he believed to be Ukrainian officials to obtain materials to damage the President of the United States politically.” The Russians did so during a prank telephone call with Schiff, who was, at the time, the ranking Democrat on the intelligence panel.

The resolution calls for Schiff’s resignation as committee chairman, directs him “to forthwith present himself in the well of the House for the pronouncement of censure,” and prescribes that he will then be “censured with the public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.”

Pelosi has stood by Schiff, saying: “I’m very proud of the work that Adam Schiff is doing. I value the way he is conducting this.”

The democrats in the House always protects their own. They do not want all of their secret evil deeds exposed to the world but they will be. I believe God will bring about those who will bring the punishment they all deserve for deceiving the American people.

Nehemiah 13:7b-9 here I learned about the evil thing Eliashib had done in providing Tobiah a room in the courts of the house of God. I was greatly displeased and threw all of Tobiah’s household goods out of the room. I gave orders to purify the rooms And then I put back into them the equipment of the house of God, with the green offerings and the incense. Father, I ask in the name of Jesus for you to frustrate the plots of your enemies, which are the enemies of our nation and the enemies of our president. I ask that you would throw these people, especially Schiff and Pelosi out! Let our house and senate be purified and your equipment be brought back in. We know your equipment is your word, prayer, and your precepts. Father we pray for our House and Senate to be purified and for you to be the praise of this nation again. For you to be the God of this nation. I ask heavenly father for you to arise And let your enemies be scattered! In the name of Jesus
