Adam Schiff: From Russia Hoax Peddler to Fear-Mongering Extremist

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) says we can’t rule out the possibility that Trump will launch military strikes on “domestic groups” who oppose him

In a stunning display of unhinged paranoia, Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) appeared on MSNBC’s “All In” (clip is above), where he floated the absurd notion that President Donald Trump might unleash military strikes against domestic groups opposing him. Schiff, speaking to host Chris Hayes, warned that the administration’s aggressive stance against drug cartels like Tren de Aragua could escalate into attacks on American soil, stating, “The reality is we can’t rule that out. We can’t rule that out.” He speculated about lethal force being used without trial or due process, tying it to Trump’s references to an “enemy within” and past deployments of the military in U.S. cities.

This wild conjecture isn’t just Schiff’s latest bout of Trump Derangement Syndrome—it’s a continuation of a pattern of deceit and exaggeration that has defined his political career, earning him a well-deserved censure from the House and accusations of outright fraud.Schiff’s recent rant comes amid the Trump administration’s bold moves to designate violent gangs as narco-terrorists, equating groups like Antifa with foreign threats. Hayes highlighted Attorney General Pam Bondi’s comments on treating Antifa similarly to cartels, prompting Schiff to spiral into doomsday scenarios. “If you look at where this started, it started with blowing up ships,” Schiff said in the interview, before leaping to potential strikes on land targets in Venezuela and then, incredibly, to domestic opponents.

He invoked Trump’s “enemy within” rhetoric, claiming it views American cities as “military training grounds,” and concluded that targeting groups “closer to home, or even here at home” couldn’t be excluded. This isn’t reasoned analysis; it’s the ravings of a man who has spent years fabricating threats to undermine Republicans and President Trump. Conservative critics have long called Schiff a “lunatic” for such fear-mongering, and this episode only amplifies that label, showing a descent into even more irrational territory as Trump regains power.But Schiff’s current madness didn’t emerge in a vacuum. His history is riddled with proven lies, particularly around the infamous Russia collusion hoax that consumed American politics for years. As chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Schiff repeatedly claimed to possess “damning” evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia—evidence that never materialized. In 2017, he went on national television asserting there was “more than circumstantial evidence” of coordination, fueling a media frenzy that divided the nation.

Yet, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s exhaustive investigation found no such conspiracy, exposing Schiff’s assertions as baseless fabrications. Former MLB star and California Senate candidate Steve Garvey hammered this point during a 2024 debate, accusing Schiff of lying to 300 million Americans about Russia collusion. Garvey didn’t mince words: “You lied to 300 million people. “Schiff’s deceit went beyond mere rhetoric. He was accused of doctoring evidence to fit his anti-Trump narrative. During the January 6 Committee hearings, Schiff altered text messages between White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), presenting them in a misleading way to imply wrongdoing. This wasn’t an isolated incident; Schiff has a track record of mischaracterizing intelligence. In 2019, he fabricated quotes from Trump’s call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a congressional hearing, turning a routine conversation into a parody of mobster threats.
President Trump himself called for Schiff to be investigated for “fraud and treason” over this stunt, highlighting how Schiff’s lies eroded public trust in institutions. The Russia hoax wasn’t just a political misstep—it was a deliberate campaign of misinformation. Declassified documents revealed that Schiff, along with other Democrats like Rep. Eric Swalwell, pushed the Steele Dossier despite knowing its flaws. A Democratic whistleblower even informed the FBI in 2017 that Schiff authorized leaks of classified information to discredit Trump during the Russiagate probe. These leaks, aimed at painting Trump as a Russian puppet, were strategic and damaging. Former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova warned that Schiff could face up to 20 years in prison for such actions, calling it a clear abuse of power. Despite this, Schiff dismissed declassified intelligence from Rep. Tulsi Gabbard as “dishonest,” doubling down on his collusion claims even after they were debunked.
Schiff’s pattern extends to other Republican targets. He was censured by the GOP-led House in 2023 for his role in promoting the Russia hoax and misleading the public. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) introduced a resolution to expel him from Congress, citing his repeated lies as a threat to national security. The censure passed after an initial attempt failed due to some Republicans joining Democrats, but it marked a rare bipartisan acknowledgment of Schiff’s dishonesty. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy barred Schiff from the Intelligence Committee, stating he had “lied to the American public time and again.” Yet, California voters inexplicably elevated him to the Senate, a move conservatives decry as a stain on American politics. Beyond politics, Schiff faces personal scandals that underscore his hypocrisy. In 2025, allegations surfaced of mortgage fraud, with President Trump accusing him of falsifying residency claims on loan applications.
Trump called Schiff a “scam artist” and demanded prosecution, pointing to federal findings that Schiff may have committed fraud by claiming primary residences in both California and Maryland. Schiff responded by forming a legal defense fund, claiming it was to counter Trump’s “weaponization” of justice—ironically, the same tactic he used against Republicans. During Pam Bondi’s confirmation hearing for Attorney General, she blasted Schiff as a “failed lawyer” for his past misconduct, including similar attacks on others. Schiff’s obsession with Trump has only intensified. In August 2025, he accused the administration of “retribution” for probing figures like John Bolton, ignoring his own history of targeting rivals. He even suggested forming a Democrat “shadow cabinet” to undermine Trump’s agenda, with himself as a fake AG.
FBI Director Kash Patel eviscerated Schiff during a Senate hearing, calling him a “buffoon” and “fraud” for lying about Epstein files and more. Patel’s takedown was brutal: “You are the biggest fraud to ever [enter] the United States Senate.” As Schiff escalates his rhetoric—now warning of military strikes on Americans—it’s clear his lunacy knows no bounds. What began with the Russia hoax has evolved into full-blown conspiracy theorizing, eroding faith in democracy while projecting his own abuses onto others. Conservatives argue it’s time for accountability: investigations, perhaps even expulsion from the Senate. Schiff isn’t just a liar; he’s a danger to rational discourse, and his latest outburst proves he’s getting crazier by the day. If President Trump has his way, and he could force it, Adam Schiff should be arrested now for treason against the United Stats of America.
