As the country continues to grapple with the ongoing political divide, one thing remains clear: the need for accountability and transparency in our government. Recent developments have brought to light some troubling behavior from certain members of Congress, and it is imperative that we take action to ensure that those who abuse their power are held accountable.
One such example is the actions of Rep. Adam Schiff, who has been accused of mishandling classified information and potentially compromising national security. In response, Rep. Matt Gaetz has introduced the “Preventing Extreme Negligence with Classified Information Licenses” or “PENCIL resolution” that would bar Schiff from accessing classified information in the future.
No one can truly defend Adam Schiff.
He made his career leaking and then embroidering lies onto those very leaks.
That’s why I introduced the PENCIL Resolution today to block Adam Schiff from accessing classified information.https://t.co/xJtgk3Z3lZ pic.twitter.com/albYiDlxMM

This resolution is a necessary step in holding Schiff accountable for his actions and for protecting our nation’s classified information. It is not a matter of politics or party affiliation, but rather a matter of national security and the integrity of our government.
Furthermore, Schiff’s actions have also called into question his ability to effectively serve as a member of the House Intelligence Committee, which is responsible for overseeing the intelligence agencies and protecting classified information. His mishandling of classified information has led to a loss of trust in his ability to participate on the committee, and it is imperative that we take action to ensure that our intelligence agencies are being overseen by people who can be trusted to protect our nation’s secrets.

It is also important to remember that this resolution is not about silencing dissenting opinions or limiting freedom of speech, it is about ensuring that those who hold positions of power are held accountable for their actions. Our nation’s security and the integrity of our government are at stake, and it is our duty as citizens to take action to protect them.
In conclusion, the PENCIL resolution introduced by Rep. Matt Gaetz is a necessary step in holding Rep. Adam Schiff accountable for his actions and protecting our nation’s classified information. It is not a matter of politics or party affiliation, but rather a matter of national security and the integrity of our government. It is our duty as citizens to take action to protect our nation’s security and the integrity of our government.
