Some high-profile Democrats, like Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), are under fire now that John Durham's report has completely exposed the Russia collusion investigation as a total hoax.
Schiff, who heavily promoted the hoax witch hunt against former President Donald Trump, is now being targeted by the Republican-led House, with some members demanding he pay millions in fines, the Washington Examiner reported.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) recently filed a privileged resolution in which she demanded Schiff be censored, condemned, and ultimately fined some $16 million.
The amount of the fine is roughly half of what it cost the American taxpayer for Robert Mueller's hoax Russian collusion investigation.
Luna held nothing back in her assertion that Schiff be held accountable for wasting valuable time and resources, and tons of money, on an investigation that was proven to be nothing more than a political attack on the former president.
"I just filed a privileged resolution, H. Res. 437, to censure, condemn, & fine Rep. Adam Schiff $16 million (1/2 the cost of Russia investigation) for his egregious abuse of trust. I, with my GOP colleagues, look forward to an imminent vote to hold this feckless man accountable," Luna tweeted.

"Schiff lied to the American people. He used his position on House Intel to push a lie that cost American taxpayers millions of dollars," she said last week. "He is a dishonor to the House of Representatives."
The resolution filed this week also called for the expulsion of Schiff.

Not surprisingly, Schiff's people defended his role in the investigation, blaming "MAGA extremists" for taking action against him.
"MAGA extremists just filed a motion to censure and fine me $16 million because I stood up to Donald Trump and his allies. They’re 8 days away from defaulting on our debt, but Speaker McCarthy and his MAGA allies would rather try to silence me. But I’m not backing down. Ever," Schiff tweeted.

Only time will tell if the resolution gets a full vote and passes, but either way, it's a good start to holding some of the more egregious Democrats involved in the hoax responsible for their actions.
