Dem whistleblower told FBI Adam Schiff approved classified leaks to target Trump

WASHINGTON, DC: A Democratic whistleblower informed the FBI that Adam Schiff approved leaking classified information to discredit President Donald Trump, newly-released documents revealed.

The documents, obtained by Just The News, were recently handed over to Congress by FBI Director Kash Patel. It stated that the intelligence staffer, a Democrat by party affiliation who described himself as a friend to both Schiff and former Republican House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes, considered the classified leaking to be "unethical, illegal, and treasonous."

Moreover, he was told not to worry about it because Schiff believed he would be spared prosecution under the Constitution's speech and debate clause.

Whistleblower reveals he attended meeting where Adam Schiff greenlit leak

The Democratic whistleblower reportedly said that he attended a meeting where Adam Schiff greenlit the leak.

The documents stated, "When working in this capacity, [redacted staffer's name] was called to an all-staff meeting by SCHIFF."

"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," it further mentioned.

The report also added, "[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."

Meanwhile, John Solomon, who co-authored the report with Just The News' Jerry Dunleavy, was on Fox News' 'Hannity' to talk about the report.

He said, "This is the first of several major leak investigations we're going to see over the next several days. You're going to see other major people that were clearly identified by the FBI, having leaked classified secrets."

"Their own staff turned them in when interviewed by the FBI. Nothing, again, happened. It's a common pattern. The question now is, in Donald Trump's Justice Department, does that dynamic change?" Solomon added.

Kash Patel shared the report on his X account and said that the FBI "found it [and] declassified it."

The post read, "Now Congress can see how classified info was leaked to shape political narratives - and decide if our institutions were weaponized against the American people."

Whistleblower tells FBI Adam Schiff was promised CIA appointment if Hillary Clinton had won in 2016

The report also revealed that the Democratic staffer told FBI agents during an August 2017 interview that he was told by various HPSCI staffers in the October 2016 timeframe that if former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won the November 2016 election, Adam Schiff would be offered the position of CIA director.

Moreover, he told the FBI in December 2017 that "the mood within HPSCI was indescribable" after Trump's win, and that Schiff "was particularly upset, as he believed he would have been appointed as the Director of CIA" had Clinton won the election.

The whistleblower added that "the HPSCI minority viewed the [2016] election and its aftermath as a constitutional crisis" and that by February 2017, "all hell broke loose."

In August 2017, he told the FBI that "Schiff believed Russia hijacked the election, and the United States was in the middle of a constitutional crisis. Classified information began leaking to the media."

"The Democratic minority leadership of HPSCI was aware of the leaks but was under the impression that leaking the information was one way to topple the administration and fix the constitutional crisis," he added.

Moreover, he also provided details to the FBI in August 2017 about a February 13, 2017, HPSCI staff meeting where the HPSCI staff director and general counsel "advised the minority staff that he wanted to drive the ‘Russian involvement’ issue into a Joint Inquiry ‘similar to the 9/11 Commission.’"
