Conservatives are ramping up their calls for Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) to be held legally accountable for his role in pushing a now well-debunked claim that President Donald Trump was a dupe for Russian President Vladimir Putin during his first term.<\/p>\n

The so-called \u201cRussian collusion\u201d narrative, which Schiff and many others in the media pushed for years during Trump\u2019s first term, was the subject of multiple investigations by the House and by independent prosecutors, including John Durham, a former U.S. attorney, and Robert Mueller, a former FBI director.<\/p>\n

But all of them concluded that there was zero evidence supporting the claim, while other investigators discovered that a plot to saddle Trump with the false claim in order to hamper his presidency and his ability to carry out his foreign policy vision for the country.<\/p>\n

Now, several conservative voices are calling for FBI Director Kash Patel and the Justice Department to hold Schiff and others accountable for pushing the dangerous hoax.<\/p>\n

\u201cREMINDER: Adam Schiff was ONLY pardoned for J6 committee-related offenses NOT the Russia hoax. Not election interference. Nothing else. Kash is going to take this criminal down. Watch. The Hammer of Justice is coming, Pencil Neck Schiff,\u201d conservative influencer Nick Sorter\u00a0noted\u00a0on his X account Monday.<\/p>\n

Others agreed with him in their responses.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow we know why Schiff is so panicked about Patel being confirmed as the FBI Director. Patel can lock Schiff Up in prison [where] he belongs,\u201d\u00a0wrote\u00a0one X user.<\/p>\n

\u201cWill it really happen? Will he finally be accountable for the millions he deceived, the millions he\u2019s cost taxpayers, the turmoil in foreign relationships over his lies and subversive behavior? I truly hope so!\u201d another\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a good point. I thought Schiff was pardoned for anything that happened in those years. But you\u2019re right. Nice catch, Nick!\u201d\u00a0added\u00a0influencer Paul A. Szypula.<\/p>\n

In addition, former conservative broadcaster and Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, whom Trump picked to be the FBI deputy director last weekend, had a cryptic message for Schiff during one of his last broadcasts ahead of the president\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy is Adam Schiff so worried? I strongly encourage you to go back and take another look today at the Russia collusion hoax,\u201d Bongino began during a segment.<\/p>\n

After noting that the story is now several years old, Bongino added: \u201cI\u2019m gonna be straight with you. I don\u2019t wanna move on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Continuing, he said, \u201cWe had the FBI in conjunction with the Department of Justice, officials in Congress, foreign governments and intel people fabricate a story, invent a story that could have caused and done serious long-term harm to international relations with a nuclear-powered foe. It\u2019s kind of a big freakin\u2019 deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cListen to me \u2014 this is gonna be very important in the coming days,\u201d he went on, perhaps dropping a hint that he was about to be appointed to the FBI. \u201cI\u2019m not letting this go. I wanna find out what happened because it can never happen again. Not to a Democrat. Not a Republican. Not to a Libertarian. Not to any United States citizen,\u201d Bongino said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou do not get to alter or try to change the course of electoral politics by fabricating a story hijacking the justice system then to give the patina of truth to a fake story,\u201d he continued. \u201cYou don\u2019t get to do that. Why do I bring that up now? Because who was the ringmaster of that circus? Yes, Adam Schiff, and no, I\u2019m not letting it go,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Last week, Schiff (D-Calif.) took the highly unusual step of\u00a0traveling\u00a0to the FBI headquarters building in Washington, D.C., this week to lament the president\u2019s choice of Patel to become the bureau\u2019s new director just hours before the full Senate confirmed him.<\/p>\n

Following his remarks, others \u2014 including Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk \u2014 noted on social media that Schiff\u2019s antics reflect his realization that Patel, who uncovered the \u2018Trump-Russia collusion\u2019 hoax, is well aware of the California Democrat\u2019s role in perpetuating that lie, even turning it into one of two impeachment cases during Trump\u2019s first term.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
