    Democratic whistleblower told FBI that Adam Schiff approved classified leaks to target Trump

    The whistleblower reportedly worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for over ten years, and reported Schiff's alleged behavior to the FBI in 2017.

    According to the report, the intelligence staffer called the leaking "treasonous" and "illegal," in addition to being unethical. He was most recently interviewed by the FBI in 2023.

    "In this meeting, SCHIFF stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States DONALD J. TRUMP. SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP."

    I hope they get this piece of dung

    OP link didn’t work for me. This is a “he said, she said thing”. But, likely Schiff did leak something. FBI being weaponized against politicians won’t end well. Good luck to Kash getting Schiff. Doubt it goes anywhere.

    “The alleged leaks fall outside the statute of limitations for prosecution on most legal theories, but the revelations nevertheless come at a sensitive time for Schiff, who recently was referred to the Justice Department for possible prosecution for potential mortgage fraud, based on a story first written by Just the News.”

    Exclusive: Democrat whistleblower told FBI that Schiff okayed leaking classified intel to hurt Trump

    Whatever they accuse you of doing is what they are doing.

    Yes. Piece of dung Kash Patel is leaking documents against political enemies.*





    * But not the ones Trump stole, refused to return, and hid in the public bathroom at his crummy golf resort.

    Schiff also got a pardon. Doubt this is going anywhere other than to force Schiff to pay for some lawyers.

    I'll preface this by saying that if he potentially committed a crime, and there's a credible allegation, it should be investigated, corroborated, and he should be charged if applicable. That being said, this seems a little far-fetched and feels a lot more like a selective declassification (legal leak) by the current Trump admin to continue to distract from other issues. Here's why I'm skeptical of this:

    • Schiff is a Harvard educated lawyer and former prosecutor so I find it unlikely that he would hold a staff meeting for the purpose of committing a crime.
    • The alleged context of the meeting doesn't make a lot of sense either. They would leak classified information as a pretense to initiate impeachment hearings. A leak that the Trump administration at the time would aggressively investigate to find the leaker.
    • The whistleblower went to the FBI during the first Trump administration meaning this would have been investigated at the time and therefore the FBI likely didn't find the claim credible or couldn't corroborate the claim.

    That being said, for this to be true, you'd have to believe that Schiff committed a very dumb crime with multiple witnesses, one that he was very likely to get caught, and the FBI buried the whistleblower claim rather than investigate it. It falls into the category of too good to be true which should make anyone skeptical - a whistleblower claim that confirms all priors about one of Trump's top enemies. Possible? Sure - anything is possible but certainly not the most likely explanation.

    2017? I think I read some of the leaked anti Trump stuff. Seems like I remember pretty much every NYT story about Trump was given to them by an undisclosed source or an unidentified source close to the matter. Bet that was Schiff.
