Rep. Adam Schiff took his all-out war-of-words with the White House to new heights Monday night; bizarrely claiming President Trump is intentionally killing Bald Eagles for campaign contributions.
“The bald eagle is the proud symbol of our nation. Should it become extinct, it will be a tragic symbol of our selfishness and greed. The Endangered Species Act helped rescue the eagle from its plight, but now that law is being weakened. For Trump’s donors and allies. For money,” posted Schiff on social media.

Schiff directly accused President Trump of advancing “conspiracy theories” as well on social media Monday; conveniently forgetting his own track record on Russia-collusion, Obstruction of Justice, and other unfounded allegations against the White House.
“Trump brings conspiracy theories from the darkest corners of the internet to the Oval Office. Lies about Obama’s birth, JFK’s death, or now, that the Clintons are responsible for murder… Trump has lied over 12,000 times. He’s the most dishonest president in our history,” posted Schiff on Twitter.

Schiff weighed-in on Robert Mueller’s disastrous testimony last month; saying the “essence” of the former special counsel’s testimony is that “the President is unpatriotic.”

SCHIFF SHOWDOWN: Adam Schiff Says AG Barr ‘Must Step Down’ After Mueller Letter
Rep. Adam Schiff called for Attorney General William Barr’s resignation Wednesday morning; saying the top DOJ official “must step down” over his handling of Robert Mueller’s ‘No Collusion’ conclusion.
“Barr’s answer to @RepCharlieCrist, denying knowledge of Mueller’s concerns over his summary, was deliberately false and misleading. If he were an ordinary citizen, it might be considered perjury. As our top law enforcement official, it’s even worse. He must step down,” posted the liberal lawmaker hours before Barr appeared before the US Senate.

SCHIFF SHOWDOWN: Adam Schiff Says Barr Must Resign, Calls Him ‘Second Most Dangerous Man’ in US
Rep. Adam Schiff demanded Attorney General William Barr’s immediate resignation this week; labeling the senior Trump aide the “second most dangerous man in the country.”
Schiff published a scathing op-ed in USA Today Friday directly accusing Barr of “misleading the country” after he declined to indict President Trump of obstructing justice.
“William Barr should resign,” writes Schiff. “The public servants there and in similar offices around the country deserve an attorney general who shares their abiding commitment to the rule of law, demonstrates strength and independence, speaks truth to power and represents no one person, but all Americans.”
“That makes Bill Barr the second most dangerous man in the country. It also renders him grossly unfit for office,” he adds.
