Democrat Whistleblower Reveals Adam Schiff's Alleged Leaking of Classified Info in Russiagate Hoax

A former intelligence staffer alleges that Rep. Adam Schiff leaked classified information to discredit President Trump in the Russiagate hoax. The staffer considered the leaks "unethical," "illegal," and "treasonous." Schiff allegedly authorized the leaks to help lead to Trump's indictment. Although the leaks no longer fall within the statute of limitations, Schiff faces a referral to the DOJ for suspected mortgage fraud.

A former intelligence staffer has alleged that Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., authorized the leaking of classified information to discredit President Donald Trump during the Russia collusion "hoax" in 2017. The staffer, who worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee, considered the leaks "unethical," "illegal," and "treasonous" [1].

The FBI reports obtained and first reported by Just the News state that the staffer warned the FBI about Schiff's actions. Schiff allegedly approved the leaking of classified information to smear Trump and potentially lead to his indictment [1]. FBI Director Kash Patel declassified these reports, stating that Congress can now examine how classified information was used to shape political narratives [1].

The whistleblower, a career intelligence officer, worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for over a decade. He notified the FBI in 2017 of Schiff's alleged behavior but was reportedly told not to worry about it because Schiff would be spared prosecution under the Constitution's speech and debate clause [1]. The whistleblower was reportedly terminated for raising concerns about the leaks strategy [2].

Schiff, who is now a senator, served on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence before becoming chairman from 2019 to 2023. Schiff is currently under federal investigation for alleged mortgage fraud, involving two properties he owns in California and Maryland [3].

The leaks no longer fall within the statute of limitations, but Schiff faces a referral to the DOJ for suspected mortgage fraud [3]. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has also presented evidence to the DOJ showing that the Trump-Russia probe was part of a "coup" against Trump [2].
