Schiff admits he should have been 'much more clear' about contact with whistleblower
Fox News ^ | 13 October 2019 | Andrew O'Reilly

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., admitted on Sunday that he should have been clearer about his contact with the whistleblower who filed a complaint about President Trump’s July phone call with the Ukrainian president.

“I should have been much more clear,” Schiff said during an interview on CBS’ “Face The Nation.”

Fox News reported earlier this month that the intelligence community whistleblower did not disclose contact with Schiff’s staff to the intelligence committee inspector general (ICIG).

The sources said ICIG Michael Atkinson told lawmakers in a closed session that the whistleblower did not disclose the contact with the California Democrat's committee and that Atkinson didn’t investigate that contact as he had no knowledge of it.

Sources also told Fox News that Atkinson also revealed that the whistleblower volunteered he or she was a registered Democrat and that they had a prior working relationship with a prominent Democratic politician.

Schiff’s office acknowledged earlier this month that the whistleblower had reached out to them before filing a complaint in mid-August, giving Democrats advance warning of the accusations that would lead them to launch an impeachment inquiry days later.

The source said Atkinson told lawmakers he did not know how a Schiff tweet in August and other statements about Ukraine appeared to reflect the substance of the whistleblower complaint, which was not declassified and not shared with Congress until the end of September.

Lying isn’t exactly being clear to ANY degree.

My Thesaurus doesn't list “clear” as a synonym of “honest”.

No kidding.

Neither he nor his staff should have had any contact with the “whistleblower” prior to him coming forward.

They probably prepped him on what to say.

I wonder if the Dems wish they’d never opened this can of worms.

Let’s bring back an old classic Watergate days euphamism. What he said was at variance with the facts.

Fox: "Oh look, eureka, Schiff did it... again, oh a squirrel, look"

Instead of having intellectual curiosity and looking the mysterious, coincidental "whistle blower," Fox just let their impeachment monkeys run wild over the last few weeks.

Schitt is incapable to telling the truth any time he runs his mouth.
