Two separate ethics complaints have been filed against Adam Schiff because he is totally corrupt. But, if you expect the House Ethics Committee to take action, you can forget that.
It is rare for a House member to be found guilty of ethics charges, and the few times they do, it’s a Republican. But, the complaints will be another wart on Schiff’s legacy. The complaints stem from a prank phone call to Schiff’s office that he thought was real. Radio personality, Vladimir “Vovan” Kuznetzov, a Russian entertainer, pretended to be Ukrainian lawmaker Andriy Parubiy. Schiff colluded with the man he thought to be Parubiy, thinking he could get dirt on President Trump. Ironically, that is what Democrats are accusing Trump of doing.

According to Fox News, the California Democrat is the subject of two complaints filed with the Office of Congressional Ethics related to a 2017 phone conversation Schiff had with a Russian comedian posing as a Ukrainian lawmaker.
One complaint, filed last week by the conservative nonprofit group Tea Party Patriots Action, states Schiff “used and abused his position” to “seek damaging and negative information about President Trump,” according to the report.
Another was filed Aug. 28 by Republican Jon Hollis, who is seeking to challenge Schiff for the Los Angeles-area congressional seat he has held since 2001. It accuses Schiff of “illegal collusion with foreign entities,” Fox News reported Wednesday.
However, the person on the other end of the line, who said he was Ukrainian lawmaker Andriy Parubiy, was actually Vladimir “Vovan” Kuznetzov, a Russian entertainer.
The fact that the phone call was fake doesn’t make Schiff’s interest in using a foreign government to obtain damaging information about the president any less real, Hollis charged in his ethics complaint.
“This letter serves as an official complaint to the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) regarding Rep. Adam Schiff’s illegal collusion with foreign entities and misuse of taxpayer resources for opposition research on political enemies,” Hollis wrote, according to Fox.
“The evidence supporting Adam’s Schiff’s violations of the law is compelling and irrefutable.”
