No, im pretty sure someone from the FBI leaked it. I don’t think Schiff was in the loop that early on.
I don’t put anything past Schiff.
Back on 5/7 I saw this tweet and thought it might have to do with Shitft being the leaker. It was posted shortly after the news announcement that Richard Grenell was seen with his briefcase full of documents being delivered to Barr.

Hi Adam
It’s kinda’ ironic that some of the shittyest politics ever to come from a member of the house is from a guy named Schiff.
Maybe the “Unknown” “Whistleblower” did it. He needs to be subpoenaed to testify and try his best to defend his life in D.C.
Obamagate was carried out by the executive branch, reporting to Obama. Schiff was in the minority until the midterms but when he became chairman he launched into all the endless witch hunts on his own. I suspect he wanted to show how the Great and Powerful Schiff could help the cause and curry favor among the true power brokers but it backfired. Because their plan included going on TV and lying and making up crap to promote the Russia hoax, but whe he called them to testify, thinking they’d now go on the record with the same garbage, they told the truth or developed bad memories to avoid perjury. It’s OK to like to a TV reporter but it’s not OK to lie to Congress.
So there he sat, after doing his big secret investigations, with a pile of testimony that didn’t prove what he set out to prove. So he sat on it, until Rick Grenell called his bluff last week.
