Schiff Complains Democracy Under Attack — After Getting Caught Plotting Against Democratically Elected President

President Trump might scratch his head at Sen. Adam Schiff declaring democracy is under assault—especially when it comes from a man who, by his own actions, plotted against a duly elected president. A recent explosive moment on “The Alex Marlow Show” laid it out plainly:

“[W]e busted you leaking against [Trump] in what was clearly an illegal way, and you’re probably going to skate a little bit because of the statute of limitations. Everyone’s going to know you’re a liar who’s subverting the country with the Russian collusion hoax more than ever.”

That scathing line hit the mark. Schiff is now complaining about democracy being under attack, even though he was caught orchestrating curated leaks to undermine the Trump presidency. He framed himself as the guardian of truth, yet the records show something far different—his leadership of a political leak campaign masquerading as watchdog accountability.

From a conservative perspective, this matters deeply. Trust in institutions depends on integrity. When elected officials weaponize classified information against political opponents, it erodes faith in government and undermines the rule of law. The burden falls on leaders to uphold transparency without abusing power, not weaponize it—especially when taxpayer dollars are at stake and national security hangs in the balance.

The broader pattern here reflects a dangerous slippery slope: when one party believes itself above the rules, democracy isn’t protected—it’s weakened. And when that face of “defense” is really attempting to topple a legitimate presidency, we’ve crossed a red line. Voters deserve better than hypocritical virtue signaling from the halls of Capitol Hill.

That’s why seeing this hypocrisy exposed isn’t just satisfying—it’s a call to real accountability. Democracy must be defended in deed, not just rhetoric.
