The complaint alleges that Schiff, (the guy who Greg Gutfeld says looks like Woody from "Toy Story") acted inappropriately when he met with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson and with Michael "I'd Take a Bullet for Trump" Cohen, the former Trump attorney, before their congressional hearings.
Last week, the Daily Wire discussed Schiff’s “nagging ethics questions,” pointing out that his meeting with Simpson has the appearance of impropriety, as it took place before Simpson testified about his involvement in the alleged Russian collusion narrative and his role in the FBI’s previous investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
Whether or not Schiff[less] has a quid pro quo arrangement with the Comedy News Network is not known at this time, but would anybody be surprised if one day Schiff becomes a political analyst [accent on 'anal'] for the network?
“Rep. Schiff has an ethics problem. His and his staff’s irregular communications with anti-Trump witnesses reflect poorly on the credibility of the House and its committees’ investigations,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a press release.

The article was published just before it was discovered that Schiff met with Cohen for a total of 10 hours before Cohen testified before the House regarding what he knows about other alleged crimes committed by President Donald Trump.
While the JW complaint focuses on the two meetings, it also noted that Schiff appears to leak confidential information to the media during closed-door testimony. Multiple sources have reported that Schiff will leave the room during testimony, and a few minutes later, a “scoop” would appear on CNN reporting on something from the meeting. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) said Schiff also left the room during Donald Trump Jr.’s closed-door testimony and CNN got a "scoop" once again. Former staffer Donny Ferguson said Schiff did this during Benghazi hearings, and the same thing happened during Cohen’s testimony.

“It has long been apparent that Rep. Schiff can’t be trusted to lead the Intelligence Committee, so we hope that Democrats on the Ethics Committee stop protecting Mr. Schiff and take action,” Fitton said.
The complaint cites the House Code of Official Conduct and media reports on Schiff’s behavior, but then uses Schiff’s own words against him. In 2017, Schiff demanded then-House Intel Chair Devin Nunes (R-CA) recuse himself because he had told Trump about an “incidental collection” of campaign communications.
At the time Schiff wrote that “I believe the public cannot have the necessary confidence that matters involving the president’s campaign or transition team can be objectively investigated or overseen by the chairman.”
