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 Trumps 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 Schiffs 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 didnt 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.
Schiffs 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.

In other words you were trying to cover it up and got caught.
Lying sack of s***.
I predict that after the elections Schiff will do prison time for his dishonesty .
I don’t understand why the conservatives don’t play over and over the scolding Schiff gave Mcquire, during his testimony, for withholding the whistleblower’s complaint from Congress for so many days. It would show the depths of Schiff’s deception. He was trying to make everyone think he knew nothing of it the whole time.
Lying sack of Schiff.
bump
Lying sack of Schiff.
“Instead of having intellectual curiosity and looking the mysterious, coincidental “whistle blower,” Fox just...”
And they continue to display such journalistic malfeasance. Or maybe the “journalists” of our time lack common sense or critical thinking skills ... no longer taught in our schools.
Now that they have Schiftt on the record as saying “more clear”, a high school journalism student would have known to pounce.... like... “Why not totally clear instead of “more clear”? That “more clear” still sounds dishonest.” .... “”You alleged having facts regarding illegal Russian collusion against POTUS, an issue without your “facts” ever being disclosed, turned out to false ... why should you not be considered as “The Boy Who Cried Wolf?” one too many times here? ....”Since you covered up your office’s relationship with the “Whistleblower” prior to the complaint being filed, some could say your office coerced the complaint to be made against POTUS. Why should you not step down as chairman of your committee because you and your staff are now fact witnesses, biased in the outcome of the issue? SHould you recuse yourself to be able to vote on any impeachment question because of your involvement - you cannot be a witness and factfinder (juror)?”
I should have been much more clear, rather, “I should be better at lying.
That’s what Schiffty really means.
When a dem is caught lying, he just hasn’t been clear enough. It’a a pass and that’s the death of that story.
Yeah, that is very sketchy to say the least. Whistleblower = another moron that is about to find out the hard way that accepting the fat envelope full of $100 bills is nowhere near the scrutiny, having your life turned completely upside down, and putting your family through hell (ref: Stormy Daniels).
Parody, embellishing, manipulating, deception to project a false narrative equals lying / perjury.
Oh, nothing wrong with that. It would never cause a legal or perception problem.
Kidding, of course, his whole whistleblower thing is a crock and everybody knows it. It’s been a matzah ball hanging out there for how many weeks now? If they had anything, CNN and the other MSM would be parading the damning evidence 24/7. They’ve got jack and are looking more idiotic by the day.
I thought you had no contact? What’s to be clear about?
We're not dealing with the brightest bulbs in the chandelier here. Journalism is the major that people bottom out into when they fail out of history or the liberal (f)arts. They're the dim bulbs of the university system, they're as dumb as the treehuggers that try to be environmental engineers. It's no surprise to me that a huge percentage of them have substance abuse problems. Most college students that party leave it behind when they graduate and get a real job. Journalists trade the weekend college parties for getting drunk every night. That's why they love Michael Avenatti and Hollywood so much, they know a fellow junkie when they see one.
“I wonder if the Dems wish theyd never opened this can of worms.”
That would first require a guilty conscience, and they have none, not even in a case of self preservation.
Really big lies concerning people and cirsumstances
Undisclosed relationship with whistle-blower
Knew whistle-blower consulted with House members before going public
Is there anything Schiff could do to get impeached?
How about Pelosi, who played along as Schiff did all this, without so much as a stern angry condemnation?
Trump is not the problem.
This has collapsed like the Twin Towers. Everyone knew when he said he didn’t have contact it was a parody.
Same has been said of education majors w/o the substance abuse . . . in so far as they, as a group, score among the lowest in pre-college SAT test.
