After over two decades in the U.S. House of Representatives, Adam Schiff has officially resigned, effective December 8, marking the end of his congressional tenure. Schiff will be sworn into the U.S. Senate on Monday, succeeding Senator Laphonza Butler after defeating Republican Steve Garvey in California’s Senate race.
The announcement came as Schiff cast his final vote in the House, expressing gratitude to his constituents in Los Angeles and anticipation for his work representing the entire state of California.
“I just cast my last vote as a member of the House of Representatives,” Schiff said in a tweet on Friday. “To my LA constituents — thank you for the amazing opportunity to serve. And to the people of the whole state of CA, I’m so grateful for your confidence and look forward to all we can get done together!”
Adam Schiff’s political career has been marked by his role in several high-profile investigations and controversies. Most notably, Schiff was a central figure in the Trump-Russia collusion investigation, which followed Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 presidential election. Schiff repeatedly claimed that there was “significant evidence” of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, a claim that was debunked after Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation concluded in 2019 without new indictments.
During his tenure as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Schiff spearheaded the first impeachment inquiry into Trump in 2019. The impeachment centered on allegations that Trump sought to pressure Ukraine into investigating political rival Joe Biden. Schiff also played a prominent role in the January 6 Select Committee, investigating the Capitol riots.
Critics, however, have labeled Schiff as a “serial liar,” accusing him of spreading false narratives, particularly regarding the Russia collusion claims. Conservatives have frequently pointed to his statements as examples of partisan overreach, with former President Trump and his allies calling for Schiff’s accountability.
Schiff’s transition to the Senate signals a continuation of his political influence on a broader stage. Having defeated former Major League Baseball player and Republican candidate Steve Garvey, Schiff will now represent California in the upper chamber of Congress.
His victory reflects California’s deep-blue political landscape, where Schiff’s progressive policies and vocal opposition to Trump resonated with voters. As a senator, Schiff is expected to focus on issues such as climate change, voting rights, and national security, while likely continuing to be a leading voice for the Democratic Party in high-stakes political battles.
As Schiff prepares to take his Senate seat, reports have emerged about a potential preemptive pardon from President Joe Biden. According to Politico, Biden’s aides are reportedly considering pardons for Schiff, former Rep. Liz Cheney, and others involved in the January 6 Committee.
The speculation stems from accusations that members of the committee, including Schiff, engaged in misconduct during their investigations into the Capitol riots. Trump himself has suggested that Schiff and others “should go to jail” for their actions, further fueling partisan tensions.
The rumored pardon would be part of a broader move to protect individuals who have become lightning rods for criticism from Trump and his allies. Others mentioned in the discussions include Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who faced intense scrutiny during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As Schiff moves to the Senate, questions linger about how his legacy will evolve. Supporters view him as a tireless advocate for democracy and accountability, pointing to his efforts to hold Trump and others to account during some of the nation’s most turbulent years. Detractors, however, see him as emblematic of partisan excess, accusing him of leveraging his position to push unfounded narratives.
In the Senate, Schiff will likely face a different set of challenges, including navigating legislative battles on pressing national issues. His ability to collaborate with colleagues across the aisle will be tested, particularly in a closely divided Senate.
While Schiff’s House career has officially ended, his next chapter in the Senate is only beginning. For California voters and political observers nationwide, his rise signals both continuity and change in the state’s representation. Whether he can transcend his controversial past to make a lasting impact in the Senate remains to be seen.
Schiff’s resignation may mark the end of one era, but it also sets the stage for new dynamics in Washington, as both his allies and critics prepare for the battles ahead.
In Commifornia Republicans might as well forget running for anything, the Communist voters are just plain stupid and keep on voting in the same shit bags to represent the dumbasses of Crapyfornia.
Get prepared for more Schif lies and made up bullshit that’ll make your head spin.
A wall should be erected around that biggest Communist State in the Union and use it for Criminals, A Dump site, A Radiation Dump.!
If anyone asks about where real Stupid people live point them towards Crapyfornia.
And anyone with an ounce of sense moves but when they do, they take their leftist ideology with them. Take Colorado for instance. It is a left wing bastion of ideology. Few if any Republicans gets voted in. Schiff is an example of leftist stupidity.
Brother Michael I agree with all of what you’ve pointed out! It goes to the heart of what I just wrote on that other article where we spoke about this same unbelievable mess of a “disintegrating once great state!” I’ll repeat it here because I can’t say it enough!
“Absolutely Michael, I see that seditious traitor the same way and how he got away with so much for so long already gets me very upset how Justice has been terribly compromised herein America! He’s one of the same ilk like that lying witch from Californication that screamed “Nobody is Above the Law” Pelosi; while “they of course break all the biggest laws continually for years now and skate!” That “guilty written all over him” slime bucket still echoes in my memory of how he had a “whistleblower” so much the same MO as Killery’s “Fusion GPS Christopher Steele Dozier” to nail Trump during those “totally concocted Impeachments” which “Shithead” and others should have been tried and executed for at GITMO! But we also know now, as usually for “evil commie Demoncraps,” “Zero Accountability!”
This paradigm has to flip; and sooner rather than later I pray!”
What has happened to that state in the last few decades is sinful; look at San Francisco and LA that are horrible hellholes with so many messed up, derelict undesirables running madcap throughout; it’s just a crying shame!
Brother Lawrence, I totally agree.
Something has got to be done about the way things are going on in Crapyfornia, it’s the most corrupt Anti-American Communist run POS to be part of the United States and more so than Communist New Jerk.
I’ve read an article that the Communist Democrats are planning on training and propping up AOC for running for the 2028 President election.
Imagine the dumbest idiot out of New Jerk as a President.?
She’ll lose before she announces her run for President.
And of course the Communist Voters in Crapyfornia and New Jerk will vote for her. The jokes will begin and the memes will be the funniest we’ve heard since the Anti-American Communist Muslim Obama and Biden stole the election.
Haha, absolutely spot-on Brother! I see it all as being like some huge crazy joke but sadly so many suffer because of these derelicts in positions of authority! But there is hope that major positive change is coming to knock the wind out of their sails once and for all time!
Build a border wall East of California let them join Mexico or become their own country. Then Newsom can become queen of his own corrupt country. Then all illegals can live there permanently. Queen Newsom would control his own party.
truth on Newsome!!
He is one sick perverted maniac!
Sue; I never thought of that which is both funny as hell and a hellish nightmare simultaneously; but it might be the real solution for that corrupt to the core state if things don’t turn around soon!
I lived out there years ago primarily the LA area for a while, and even had a nice vacation with my girlfriend at the time in San Francisco and the Napa Valley. It was all so peaceful and decent back then as we even strolled along downtown (clean and filled with nice restaurants and shops) then nearby checked out Lombard Street which runs from the Embarcadero to the Presidio, a once most famous and must see section the switchback-filled stretch in Russian Hill. And along the bottom of the hill, where we could appreciate the unique layout of the zigzagging road and from the top, a clear view down Lombard toward Telegraph Hill and the North Beach neighborhood.
But I wouldn’t get miles within that hellish nightmare city now! Maybe just a flyby in a copter!
Why do they need pardon if they have been on the up and up and told the truth to the American people? I smell a rat!! And it reeks!!
Stench City!
the only way this career a -hole is going to leave is through natural death old age, dementia ,and even that does not qualify as you see with, Biden and Feinstein , the dems look the other way and can not face the truths about their colleagues who can not think and work. in their old age.
That’s because they are such hypocrites and liars they live in a world of DENIAL!
Oh wow, wait till they face their Maker!
Bug Eyes needs to be relegated to the Graybar Hotel where he belongs with other Democrats
Without any doubt!
“….look forward to all we can get done together!” Schiff
The only thing this lying POS should be “looking forward to” is, as President-elect Trump suggests, a long stretch in JAIL! The fact that Joltin’ demented, corrupt, Joe Biden even contemplates (like he is capable of contemplating anything) issuing “blanket pardons” to all the true ‘criminals’ in his corrupt administration is proof positive that the screed carved in stone above that SCOTUS lair REQUIRES changing to read, “NO EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW,” as there has been none for decades in America!
I agree and stated the following elsewhere on this site.
I do agree and too many sheeple out there who have been indoctrinated or programed to be watchful little minions of the ever so corrupt and sinister in our government and mass media; not far off from any communist nation say like Russia! Many people throw out the term Amerika quite often I noticed and that is a sign of what I’m saying has been a decades process of infiltration, manipulation and control of the masses! This country is such a freaking mess and falling off the precipice!
Just the fact that we have such a rotten lying mean spirited to her core person on a major Network spewing trash every day says a lot about what the Agenda really is here in the “Fall of the New Roman Empire!” “The Mass Invasion by Illegal Aliens” from over 150 countries in the tens of millions is just another part of the big plan, the Agenda!
Now the IRS is geared up with Body Armor and Military Automatic Weapons to go out and roust up the Taxpayers like some Nazi Gestapo says a whole lot about what they’ve been planning!
bad schiff couldn’t happen to a more deserving state of flakes & nuts. RED states need to separate from this evil empire. STOP funding our abuse and abusers (gov’t.)
Tim, you’re right its like Stockholm Syndrome masochism on steroids!
Pardons are from criminal acts which we know they did and the pardons are proof they did criminal acts. It doesn’t protect them from civil law suits. So you can’t put them in jail so discover the evidence that these people violated the constitutional rights including Trump and go after them financially including Biden and family. That would be a lifetime pain if they had to pay heavy settlements and combine that with locating and returning to the US Government all they money that any of them embezzled from using the governments good name.
Crush them like the cockroaches they are with no mercy whatsoever! They’ve earned it so give them just what they deserve!
I just wish the Lord would touch Shiff as he’s taking his place in the Senate & he’d fall over dead. maybe that would wake the rest of them up & they would finally realize the Lord is definitely in charge.
Schiff dient serve the public in any way. His entire career has been spent on creating a government within THE government, to destroy and conflate the United States into a third world failure instead of a leader.
He has LIED to the PEOPLE at large and his reward for lying and spending hundreds of millions on partisan politics is to be raised up to Senate.
The good part is that in the Senate he will have ZERO power even within his own party. After all, it was HIS PARTY MEMBERS that elected TRUMP!
Things are not as they seem; big brother is playing us if we allow it!
