Schiff Learned Of Russian ‘Bounty’ Intelligence In February, Withheld Information From Congress, And Took No Action

"""Schiff Learned Of Russian ‘Bounty’ Intelligence In February, Withheld Information From Congress, And Took No Action""" Top committee staff for Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, were briefed in February on intelligence about Russia offering the Taliban bounties in Afghanistan, but he took no action in response to the briefing, multiple intelligence sources familiar with the briefing told The Federalist. The intelligence was briefed to Schiff’s staff during a congressional delegation, or CODEL, trip to Afghanistan in February.

Schiff, who has acknowledged President Donald Trump was never briefed on the so-called intelligence, has thus far refused to disclose that his staff was personally briefed. The revelation raises serious questions that Schiff is once again politicizing, and perhaps even deliberately misrepresenting, key data for partisan gain.

Asked by a reporter Tuesday if he had any knowledge of the Russia story prior to the New York Times report, Schiff said “I can’t comment on specifics.”

The unnamed intelligence sources that conspired with the NYT to commit treason are Schiff’s staff members

I don’t know why, but it’s almost like a word association game, every time some mentions Adam Schiff, I immediately think “industrial shredder”.

Good question is Who benefits from this learned (leaked) information regarding Russia......... low and behold Schiff arises to suddenly again being news worthy!....

Schiff is as nasty a character as Pelosi...but we've seen and heard the Russia, Russia Russia drumbeat pounding before......

Agreed.

Junk news.

Thousands of reports come in daily and all that stuff needs vetted. Much of it is junk because the sources often have an agenda (eliminating someone they don’t like, manipulating us, make money and tell us tall tales so we keep paying them). I saw this in Iraq many-many times. It was actually quite amusing at times. The Iraqi’s learned quickly to to tell us that someone was with AQ. LOL

Of course the news grabs this and runs with it.

I am sure if I find a source that tells me about the Satanic/Occult connection with the Nazi’s the History channel will run with that too. LOL

In this case, because it’s election year and the Russians are the bad guys again, this makes front page news when in reality it should fall off altogether as unsubstantiated or factually questionable.

.

Isn’t the whole point of a legislative intelligence committee is to have oversight ?

Well, why didn’t they (Schiff) bring THIS thing to the public’s attention — IF they thought Trump supposedly wasn’t handling it Right ?

If its such a big thing ? If it is even real.

No, THIS is a case of something that very well isn’t true, but can NOW be bent any which way the leftist biased mainstream media traitors, NOW that it is closer to the Election.

COLLUSION WITH PUTIN SCHIFF ??? YOU ??? THE OTHER DEMS ON THAT COMMITTEE ???

Time to RESIGN Schiff, for YOUR negligence/treason - IF this story is such a big thing.

Yep - Is that squinty-eyed Baier at 6pm? I wouldn’t know.

Cavuto worse. Bream not much better. Daytime and weekends unwatchble.

Schiff just walked into a trap. Read the part about the CODEL travel records, which were supposed to have been disclosed in the Congressional Record by now, but they were left out.
