House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff is planning to selectively release information from some of the 53 declassified transcripts of witnesses that testified before Congress regarding the FBI’s Russia probe into the Trump campaign. This move, comes after a long battle against Republican colleagues, who are fighting to make all the transcripts available to the American public, said a U.S. official, with knowledge of Schiff’s plans.
Schiff has been fighting the release of the transcripts.
The decision for Schiff to publish a selective portion of the 6,000 pages of transcripts comes after a recent public showdown with Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, who is also fighting to make all the transcripts public. In fact, Grenell reiterated in a letter Wednesday that if Schiff doesn’t make the transcripts public then he will release them himself.
Interestingly, the committee voted unanimously in the fall of 2018, to make all the transcripts public after declassification, which has already been done.
“Schiff’s planning to selectively leak to the liberal media what he wants, while keeping the truth from the American people,” said one source, familiar with Schiff’s plans.
“If (Schiff) selectively publishes just some of them now, it’ll be rank hypocrisy,” Said One Congressional Source
Schiff’s office did not immediately respond to an email for comment.

All or nothing, Shiftless.
He’s a gutless wonder.
What Schiff releases doesn’t matter. Grinnell said he would release all of them.
They'll be howling anyways.
Partial release by Schiff will no doubt result in full release by the DNI.
“If (Schiff) selectively publishes just some of them now, it’ll be rank hypocrisy,” Said One Congressional Source “
Get a clue the rats are immune to charges of hypocrisy. They better not let this punk get away with this.
Of course he does, he wont release it ALL, he will just release what he thinks is good for him..release it all, but he wont we all know he wont
Waiting for Atkinson’s transcripts. This will prove that Schiff for brains was lying about his contact with the whistleblower.
Let him go ahead and dig his hole even deeper by selectively releasing. Then Grenell can release full transcripts showing what Schiff was trying to hide. Will be twice as dramatic.
Yup. Don’t think Grennel will suffer this FOOL’s stuff LIGHTLY!
You just have to know Cakepop will withhold the docs that implicate him in criminal acts.
Just look for Grenell to release those with a fanfare.
57 pages have been released, is that all of them or only what douche bag Schiff wants out
Just RELEASE THEM Grinelle!!! I am sick of all talk and no action
Grenell should have never spoken, and simply acted. He shouldn’t have given Schiff an opening.
I wonder what he held back.
house versus dni food fight? :-/
The article states there are 6000 PAGES of transcripts.
