The top Democrats on the House and Senate Intelligence committees notified the nations spy chiefs Friday that they intend to closely monitor efforts by Attorney General William P. Barr to review the government probe of President Trumps 2016 campaign and expect them to inform lawmakers about the extent to which their agencies are cooperating.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam B. Schiff sent letters to the heads of the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency, as well as the director of national intelligence, demanding in-person briefings to discuss what materials Barr has sought thus far and that copies are to be shared with the committee. He insisted, too, that they notify the panel in advance if Barr intends to declassify anything, noting when they disagreed with his orders and why.
Sen. Mark R. Warner (Va.), asked the spy chiefs to immediately inform the panel if you see signs that Barrs inquiry risks compromising intelligence-gathering sources and methods
Trump last week granted Barr full and complete authority to declassify government secrets and directed the intelligence agencies to comply swiftly with the attorney generals audit of their work related to the 2016 election. The move has drawn outrage from congressional Democrats, who continue to clash with the White House over its refusal to cooperate with their investigations of the president, and it has unnerved current and former FBI officials and those in the intelligence community who have denied Trumps claims that spying was conducted on his campaign.
Barrs inquiry represents a disturbing effort by the President and the Attorney General to politicize the Intelligence Community and law enforcement, Schiff wrote in his letters, saying Trump and Barr were engaged in a public campaign to further a conspiracy theory and their efforts could undermine national security.

.... the fear of the guilty treasonous, rancid scum.
Isn't that very notion a conspiracy theory of its own?
And he should be.
AND CRY WOLF 🐺!!!
Coates and Haspel are to ignore a direct order from the CinC. Yeah right s/
This guy Schiff has always looked like a bug eyed cchikd molestor. Maybe it’s just an act....
So that’s the congressman from North Hollywood? Well I’ll be a suck-egg mule!
I call for an intelligent investigation of all Democrats running for President. Look at Joe Biden with China and Ukraine suspicions payments to his son. So this of course would not be spying, but we must look very closely with all our fully intelligent tools to determine if any foreign influence over any Democratic contender. Im sure Adam would not object to such actions.
There's still a huge backlog of unrequited congressional document requests from the Nunes/Gowdy days. So, we'll get to it when we can....
I think he is a lot worse than that.
Adam Schiff, being the arrogant POS that he is, is probably not that afraid of Barr, figuring that Barr will make some noise investigating but not actually poke anybody with his stick. Should people start getting indicted and hauled before a grand jury, then Schiff might get nervous. However, how often do congress critters ever have to face real legal jeopardy?
I thought you liked investigations Adam, ya douche?
PRE-DAWN RAIDS!
....he should get time for every leak he gave to any media source...any lie he told,POS
Darn, I misread the headline as Adam Schiff Dead.
From the article: “Barrs inquiry represents a disturbing effort by the President and the Attorney General to politicize the Intelligence Community and law enforcement, Schiff wrote in his letters, saying Trump and Barr were engaged in a public campaign to further a conspiracy theory and their efforts could undermine national security.”
More libturd projection, it seems...
Looks like Schiff and the Dems are trying to Obstruct Justice here?
And well he should be!
Schiff isn’t afraid of anything. Nor has he any reason to be.
We’ll be lucky if Struck and Page do more than 90 days in a federal penitentiary....
Talk about OBSTRUCTION.... indict the POS!
