Far-Left Whistleblower Exposes Senator Schiff to FBI

This is big. A new whistleblower has come forward to expose Senator Adam Schiff’s (CA) blatant leaking of classified, and potentially dangerous, intelligence when he was the head of the House Intelligence Committee in an attempt to stymie Trump.

As reported by Fox News:

A Democratic whistleblower told the FBI that Adam Schiff approved leaking classified information in order to discredit President Donald Trump, according to newly-released documents.

The documents, which were obtained by Just The News, were recently handed over to Congress by FBI Director Kash Patel.

The whistleblower reportedly worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for over 10 years, and reported Schiff's alleged behavior to the FBI in 2017.

We knew Schiff was shady, but thanks to FBI Director Kash Patel, official documents now point to a team within Schiff’s office that reportedly conducted a targeted and coordinated attack on President Trump, specifically to dig up and leak classified documents to discredit, derail, and even potentially indict President Trump.

According to official FBI interview documents, a Democrat intelligence staffer met with Schiff, who expressed his intention to purposefully leak classified information that was derogatory toward President Trump, and he wanted that information to be used as the grounds for an indictment. The would-be whistleblower was rightly concerned about the ethics of this, not to mention the legality of it.

According to the report:

“When working in this capacity, [redacted staffer's name] was called to an all-staff meeting by SCHIFF,” the documents state, per Just The News.

“In this meeting, SCHIFF stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States DONALD J. TRUMP. SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP.”

“[The whistleblower] stated this would be illegal and, upon hearing his concerns, unnamed members of the meeting reassured that they would not be caught leaking classified information,” the report added.

Fortunately, this individual chose what was right over party and pushed back. Their concerns were apparently dismissed. Then the whistleblower went to the FBI – the Biden FBI – and I don’t even have to tell you how that went.

My dad, ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow, joined us and gave his analysis:

I think this is critical: This was a Democratic staff member who gave the information to the FBI, who was then interviewed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on three separate occasions that we know of. . . . The 302 is the form that the FBI utilizes when they interview. These are the notes taken by the FBI agents. Kash Patel is confirmed as the FBI director and gets this information, probably in the normal course of review. This was from 2017. And this individual alleges that Adam Schiff leaked classified documents to the media on purpose, knowing they were classified to tarnish President Trump. . . . This is what happens when the weaponization of an agency takes place.

And the Democrats went after President Trump with a vengeance, both while in office and then when we had President Biden, they indicted the former U.S. President in jurisdictions, alleging, by the way, the same kind of handling of classified documents. How come President Trump gets indicted for it, but with Adam Schiff, nothing happens? Well, I think that’s about to change.

Once this information is out, there will be further investigations. A grand jury should then be impaneled, and that grand jury should then, if the evidence supports it, bring a charge for violating a number of federal statutes here.

Some have pointed to the Speech and Debate Clause in the Constitution, Article I, Section 6, Clause 1, which states:

The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

My dad explained why Speech and Debate doesn’t apply here:

This has nothing to do with the Speech and Debate Clause, though. I mean, . . . that’s the first go-to that anybody who serves in Congress utilizes. . . . First of all, it wasn’t on the floor of the Senate. That’s in your House, number one. Number two, it wasn’t a Speech and Debate effort. It wasn’t statements made in that context. This was a leak. This is what the allegation is by this whistleblower. This is a leak of classified information that is not protected by the Speech and Debate Clause because if it were, America’s national security would be constantly in jeopardy.

And let’s never forget that Schiff, in his official capacity as House Intelligence Committee Chair, made up a fake transcript of a phone conversation between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, presented it as though it were evidence, and then later admitted that it was fiction. If you have to create fictional evidence to make your point, then you have no point at all.

It’s nonsense. A grand jury should be impaneled to investigate, and if the evidence is there, Schiff must be held accountable.

Today’s Sekulow broadcast included more analysis from my dad, Jay Sekulow, as well as from former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who discussed the upcoming meeting between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and much more.
