The Walls Are Closing in on Adam Schiff and He Knows It

2025-08-21

[PJ] Adam Schiff

…who is reasonably bright, having graduated near the top of his classes at Stanford and Harvard Law, then successfully prosecuted a Russian spy before going into politics. So why he was stupid enough to get himself in trouble like this is a bit of a puzzle…

has always loved the spotlight, but not like this. The California senator, best known as the face of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax and the architect of the first impeachment circus, is now launching something very different: the "Senator Schiff Legal Defense Fund."

Schiff filed the paperwork with the IRS last week. This move doesn't exactly inspire confidence in his future. You don’t create a legal defense fund unless you expect things to get messy. And he knows he’s in serious trouble over his alleged mortgage fraud.

According to his camp, this isn’t about a real scandal but revenge. A Schiff spokesperson immediately blamed Donald Trump and his supporters for supposedly weaponizing the justice system.

"It’s clear that Donald Trump and his MAGA allies will continue weaponizing the justice process to attack Senator Schiff for holding this corrupt administration accountable," the spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "This fund will ensure he can fight back against these baseless smears while continuing to do his job." Translation: Schiff knows the walls are closing in, but he wants his donors to pay the bill.

The problem is that the allegations against Schiff don’t look like political fiction. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) referred him to the Justice Department last month. Investigators say Schiff falsified bank documents and property records related to a Potomac, Md., home, securing sweetheart loan terms between 2003 and 2019.

Schiff denies everything, calling it politically motivated. Of course, that’s what he always says. The Maryland Attorney General is now actively investigating the case.

#5 So why he was stupid enough to get himself in trouble like this is a bit of a puzzle

All school proves is you can retain information and regurgitate it over the course of the degree. It has NOTHING to do with smarts. Lord knows I've meet some fucking stupid doctors.

Schiff is a parrot and a minion that tried to reach beyond his ability. Now he has been exposed.

#4 So why he was stupid enough to get himself in trouble like this is a bit of a puzzle…

He's a sociopath and, if you're gonna be a sociopath at that level, you better be smarter than he is.

#3 It cant happen fast enough. Our nation has suffered under his corrupt political attacks. He lied to the American people, bastardized our constitution to meet his nefarious goals, and hurt an elected president and ALL Americans! He did more damage to our nation than the Rosenburg's and Benidict Arnold combined...

From their mouth to the ear of G*d. Long past time for Pubs (or anti-Globalists any place else) to take the gloves off.

#1 Adam seems a likely case for accountability because of his acts are heinous and despicable while his personality is unlikable. His portrait could easily be an illustration for any number of negative words in the dictionary, in fact, if you spliced his face on the original cartoon of the Grinch, his theme song would correlate. The same could be said for John Brennan.
