- 🎯 Congressman Rick Crawford, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, criticizes Adam Schiff's conduct during the Russia collusion investigation.
- 💡 Crawford alleges Schiff would leak information in real-time after closed-door meetings, then contradict the lack of evidence presented in those meetings.
- 🗣️ Schiff is described as a 'prolific liar' who claimed 'collusion in plain sight' without ever presenting evidence, according to Crawford and the committee's report.
The Russia Collusion Investigation
- 🔍 Crawford, who was on the committee throughout the probe, contrasts Devin Nunes's approach with Schiff's.
- 🏛️ Nunes initiated the investigation in 2017, delegating leadership to Representative Mike Conaway, while Schiff allegedly used his position to pontificate and mislead.

Obama Era Evidence and DOJ Actions

- 🔑 Crawford suggests President Obama authorized or was aware of the Russia collusion probe, stating he cannot escape culpability as it happened on his watch.
China as a Greater Threat
- 🇨🇳 While Democrats focused on Russia, Crawford argues China was a much larger adversary, stealing intellectual property and violating visa rules.
- 🪞 He believes China used the Democrats' focus on the Russia probe as a 'shiny object' to gain a stronger foothold in the U.S. and the Western Hemisphere.
- ⚠️ China's aggression in the hemisphere presents an existential challenge to the United States.
Sanctuary City Policies and DOJ Lawsuit
- 🏙️ The DOJ is suing New York City and Mayor Eric Adams over sanctuary city policies that allegedly release criminals onto the streets.
