Mike Pompeo claimed during an appearance on Fox News Channel's "Outnumbered" that Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California has leaked classified information.
Pompeo, who served as CIA director and then as secretary of state during former President Donald Trump's tenure, said during his time in those roles, he knows that Schiff "leaked classified information that had been provided to him."
Pompeo said that when information was supplied to Schiff and his staff, that information showed up in places it should not have, "with alarming regularity."

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has rejected the appointments of Schiff and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) to sit on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, on which they both previously served and which Schiff has previously chaired.
Pompeo has indicated that he is mulling the possibility of a 2024 presidential run, while Schiff has said that he will consider running for U.S. Senate if Sen. Dianne Feinstein decides to retire.
Meta announced on Wednesday that it plans to reinstate "Trump's Facebook and Instagram accounts in the coming weeks."
Schiff described the social media company's move as "dangerous."
"Trump incited an insurrection. And tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power. He’s shown no remorse. No contrition. Giving him back access to a social media platform to spread his lies and demagoguery is dangerous," Schiff tweeted. "@facebook caved, giving him a platform to do more harm."
Trump, who had long been expected to announce another White House run, officially announced in November that he is running for president again.
So arrest him.
Enemy of the state…
If Pompeo knew this at the time, why was nothing done?
sometimes you have to weigh things.
Exactly!
When will the gloves come off?? Will they ever??
News show has Pompeo come on and make that claim. How come the news anchors don’t then follow up with “How come you didn’t arrest him for that? It’s a federal crime!” Then shut your pie hole and don’t let the subject change.
And Pompeo didn’t say a word about it when it would have counted. Thanks for nothing, hero.
No backbone
Schiff needs to be in prison for the crimes he committed since Trump got elected. Talk about an insurrectionist, Schitt is the definition of one.
“If Pompeo knew this at the time, why was nothing done?”
That’s the first thing I wondered. If Pompeo “knew”, isn’t he obligated to report it to the FBI?
L
The Schiff has tided.
He may have ..and would anyone be surprised if the FBI didn’t do anything with the info?
Schiff has been leaking the intelligence committee’s work to the Washington press for years.
Schiff is a stuck pig.
Pompeo is the pick by GOP deep state for POTUS. No Trump, Pence, DeSantis. Pompeo was SOS and CIA. Perfect deep state GOP candidate.
.
Charge him/whistleblower him or STFU.
“And Pompeo didn’t say a word about it when it would have counted.”
You don’t know what he and Trump said to each other about the subject. Your comment assumes they did not speak to each other about it, but you have no evidence to assume that. Diane Fienstein and other Senate Dims were notorious leakers during the GW Bush years. Nothing happened to them.
“Pompeo is the pick by GOP deep state for POTUS. No Trump, Pence, DeSantis. Pompeo was SOS and CIA. Perfect deep state GOP candidate.”
You don’t know Pompeo and you don’t know what you’re talking about. Pompeo knew what the folks at State and the CIA were like, and in his job he trusted very few of them. He went around both agencies in handling Trump’s foreign policy initiatives, getting Trump appointed special operators and envoys to do the real work while he tied the hands at the CIA and State to not interfere. All the Middle East and Asian initiatives were handled by he and Trump that way.
