Why is Schiff's statement so shocking? B/c it's true.....and mentioning that he had such information is an "illegal leak."
Adam Schiff is the Chair (and former ranking Democrat member) of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Schiff's position allows him to see top secret data WRT the safety and security of Americans.
Schiff oversees all or part of the following executive branch agencies:
-Office of the Director 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 Intel, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency
-United States Army Intelligence and Security Command
-United States Coast Guard Intelligence
-Marine Corps Intelligence Activity
To date, publicity-obsessed Schiff has appeared on some 250 TV programs, haranguing and harassing and trying to
embarrass, the president, his family, and those connected to the Trump campaign.
Schiff is one of the disgruntled Hillary Democrats who never saw the Trump win coming and have spent their time---
since the day Trump was elected---trying to discredit the president.
=============================================
ADDENDA Schiff employed in his office, Imran Awan clan, as a high-paid IT staffer ..... now suspected of global spying.
At no time did Schiff advise these agencies that foreigners accessed intel data that could be used to imperil the safety and security of Americans.
==========================================
It is entirely possible that Schiff's Congressional activities have violated federal laws that might include, but are not limited to:
<><> Title 18 U.S.C. §1341, Mail Fraud, 18 U.S.C.§1001, Presenting a False Document to an Agent of the US Government for funding (may involve several felonies and could include forgery);

<><> 18 U.S.C. §241(Conspiracies Against Civil Rights). Violation of Civil Rights under Color of law and conspiracy. Conspiring with others to violate 4th amendment rights.
<><> Possibly full investigations centering on RICO conspiracies under 18 U.S.C. §1962(c) could be warranted because (1) the persons (2) were employed by or associated with a public enterprise (3) that engaged in or affected interstate commerce and that (4) the persons operated or managed the enterprise (5) through a pattern (6) of racketeering activity, and (7) the taxpayers were injured by reason of the pattern of racketeering activity.
