Adam Schiff says he hasn't leaked classified info, but 'can't speak' for other House Intel Democrats
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/30/20 | Daniel Chaitin

Posted on 08/30/2020 11:43:21 AM PDT by Libloather

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff denied that he has ever leaked classified intelligence, but declined to say for other Democrats on the panel.

The California Democrat responded to President Trump suggesting he makes disclosures for political gain after the Office of the Director of National Intelligence informed Congress that the U.S. intelligence community will not give in-person election security briefings to lawmakers.

"I haven't. My staff hasn't. I can't speak for what all the members of the committee have done or not done, including a lot of the Republican members," Schiff told CNN's Dana Bash on State of the Union on Sunday after she asked if he or other Democrats on the panel have leaked classified information.

**SNIP**

"Whether it was 'Shifty Schiff' or somebody else, they leaked the information before it gets in, and what's even worse, they leaked the wrong information," Trump said, using his nickname for Schiff.

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe wrote in a letter to Congress on Friday that said he will inform Congress of election security threats in writing instead of using in-person briefings.

**SNIP**

Schiff told Bash that leaks are "always improper and sometimes they're illegal."

He also insisted that the Trump administration is perpetuating a "falsehood," noting that even information on paper can be leaked.

Strange comment. I bet his Democrat friends don’t like that.

Why didn’t he just say, “I have not leaked”?

As always, you have to listen carefully and with a critical eye ...er... "ear" here.

Sure, maybe *he* hasn't leaked classified info. But has someone on his staff? Every bit as bad (and illegal), has someone developed/stumbled upon classified info and schiff-for-brains confirmed it?

As a cleared person if schiff-for-brains knows of any classified spill - eg. through other House 'rats... He is required to report it. Silence makes him an accessory. An investigator working on a National Security investigation could (and perhaps should) lock schiff-for-brains in a room and start asking very uncomfortable questions. When it is NS the usual rules do not apply. You can be held, period. You don't get a phone call, you don't get a lawyer. You can be held at the discretion of say the base commander until he or she is satisfied the investigation is concluded. Could be years.

Maybe someone should remind schiff-for-brains about the fine print of that NDA he signed to gain access. He should probably find a good lawyer, he apparently isn't a very good one.

He is doing this with a wink and a not. As long as the other side does not care, it will not change. But now it appears the center may be lost to them. Too much and now too little too late. They have gone too far to the left, and cannot come back far enough. The Awans, Diane’s driver...take your pick of national security scandals. But they do come home.

Trouble is, Schifty...Trump baited you with select information, that no one else had, and it showed up where it shouldn’t have.
You were lying then, and you’re lying now, and the entire world knows it.

Schiff is a BullSchiffing piece of Schiff.

He needs to be in the Senate so that he and Shumer can fight over camera and microphone time.

Actually they both need to be out of OUR LIVES.

I Schiff you not!!!

The President should play Schiff's own game against him.

"The information I've seen, indicates that Adam Schiff is the leaker. I've also heard that the California AG is looking into Schiff's work as a DA. Looks like he did a lot of bad things to advance his career, including taking money from China to push the Russian Collusion hoax. So, we might have the doj looking into him as well."

The very fact that he said this indicates to me that he has indeed leaked classified information and KNOWS who else did. As a member of our government, it is his duty to report anyone doing that, but as an idiot and a libtard, he has been guilty of dereliction of duty on that.

“I haven’t. My staff hasn’t.”

Translation; Both myself and my staff, have.

So he gets the info , gives it to someone on his staff that probably sees it anyway and has them leak it.

Then uses the weaseling explanation I didn’t leak it.

_realpolitics.com reported that on Meet The Press, Schiff, the head of the Congressional Intel Committe actually said
“he had evidence" of Trump-Russia collusion. But he couldnt show it, suggesting to a national audience
that he alone had privileged information nobody else had.

Why is Schiff's statement so shocking?

B/c its true. Schiff undermined US Ntl security and imperiled Americans to keep the TV cameras rolling on himself.

Adam Schiff is ranking Democrat member on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

Schiff's Committee oversees all or part of the following executive branch departments and agencies:
- Office of National Intelligence
-Central Intelligence Agency
-Defense Intelligence Agency
-Department of Defense
-Department of Energy
-Department of Homeland Security
-Department of Justice
-Department of State
-Department of Treasury
-Drug Enforcement Administration
-Federal Bureau of Investigation
-National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
-National Reconnaissance Office
-National Security Agency
-Office of Naval Intelligence
-Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency
-United States Army Intelligence and Security Command
-United States Coast Guard Intelligence
-Marine Corps Intelligence Activity

================================================

TALKING POINTS---Did Schiff every notify these agencies that he was POSITIVELY SURE he had information on
Russia interference in US elections and that the intel given in confidence to him from these agencies may have been compromised?

He's the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. He's been a Congresscritter since 2001. I would LOVE to see the Dims lose their majority in the House and little Schiftless lose his little fiefdom - as well as his seat. He leaks and lies all the time and his personal vendetta against Trump has cost ALL Americans a lot. Such a weasel!

Shifty can easily say he's never leaked classified intelligence. What he does is, he gives the classified info to one of his aides, and it's the aide who leaks it.

See how that works?
