Revealed: 2019 Letter Schiff Sent to Then-DNI Chief Dan Coats Reveals How He Secretly Hid Dozens of Transcripts in Obama’s Spygate Scandal
GATEWAY PUNDIT ^ | 4/21/2020 | Christina Laila

Award-winning journalist John Solomon obtained a 2019 letter House Intel Chairman Adam (D-CA) sent then-Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats revealing how he secretly hid dozens of transcripts in Obama’s Spygate scandal.

The transcripts in question pertain to the ‘Russian collusion’ investigation.

In September of 2018, the GOP-led House, with bipartisan support, voted to make public the transcripts of 53 witnesses in the bogus Russia probe.

Here we are 19 months later and the transcripts are still hidden from the public even though US Intelligence has declassified and cleared for release.

he reason? Adam Schiff has been able to keep dozens of transcripts hidden with his backroom dealings with the ODNI.

Schiff got to work hiding the transcripts as soon as the Democrats took over the House in the 2018 midterms and he took over as Chairman of the Intelligence Committee.

According to John Solomon, the transcripts contain exculpatory evidence for President Trump’s team and Schiff demanded they be kept from Trump and White House lawyers — even if the declassification process required the transcripts to be shared.

Via John Solomon:

Shortly after Schiff took over from Republican Rep. Devin Nunes as chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) in 2019, he sent a letter to the office of then-Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats.

The letter obtained by Just the News specifically ordered that the witness transcripts — some of which contained exculpatory evidence for President Trump’s team — not be shared with Trump or White House lawyers even if the declassification process required such sharing.

Obstruction of justice, violation of civil rights under color of law, probably some laws broken related to handling of classified material; and if even the slightest bit relates to charging the President with ...”collusion” with foreign actors, then we are getting very close to Treason and a Death Penalty.
I’m not a lawyer. But I do like lawyer jokes.

Can’t let any actual evidence interfere with framing and railroading a conservative Republican president, right Adam?

You got your two articles of impeachment, right? So I say it’s time you get the handcuffs as your reward.

Now Schiff’s letter to Grenell makes more sense.
Grenell is acting DNI and has already told Schiff to take a hike-a-lonic.
Maybe Grenell will release what Coats wouldn’t ...?

The swamp is so deep I doubt Pres. Trump will be able to drain it enough to free us from this dirty filthy cabal of d-rats (but I repeat myself).

Coates had no reason to comply, Schiff was not chairman and had no authority to order Coates.
Coates complied because he was in on the coup.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They won’t because the GOP assisted the Kenyan from Indonesia in usurping the office that the Constitution says he may not hold and he used it to turn our entire government against us.

You should have just, IMO, posted Solomon's article, not the one from Gateway.

How Adam Schiff secretly thwarted efforts to bring transparency in Russia probe

Coates was playing on the wrong team.

I think it is equally revealing to compares Schiff's undeniable effectiveness with the manifest deviousness of Senator Burr.

That's a BINGO!

The letter obtained by Just the News... (see reply 13, posted @ Just the News on April 20, 2020)
Maybe Grenell is how Solomon gained the letter in the first place.
(the letter is not classified and it's not stated how Solomon got the letter)
Maybe the release of the letter (which happened two days ago now...
see above) was a different/secondary response to Schiff's letter) from April 7
so the public has a little bit more of the backstory to the brewing "feud".

One thing is certain, the intensity of interaction between Schiff and Grenell has been ratcheted up.

Intelligence chief Grenell hits back against Schiff criticism of agency reorganization

Maybe Grenell knew some little snake in the grass would run straight to Schiff with the info that the letter was found.
Maybe when the little snake in the grass told Schiff that Grenell found the letter Schiff thought he could make the first play and force Grenell down by putting sideways pressure on Grenell.
Maybe Grenell (and Solomon?) was giving Schiff some line so the hook sets firmly later on. (see - trout fishing)

I SO love playing "maybe".

Maybe it's important to note that Grenell's letter to Schiff is dated the same day as Solomon's article.
Maybe the time of the posting of Solomon's article is important too.
Maybe press responses had already been sent out by Schiff when Solomon posted his article.

Richard Grenell
His letter was sent to the press before it was sent to me. These press leaks politicizing the intelligence community must stop.

So Coats, took illegal conspiratorial orders, from Schiff, against the president.
