Explosive new allegations suggest Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., may have greenlit the leaking of classified information to tarnish President Donald Trump during the now-debunked Russia collusion narrative.
According to newly declassified documents obtained by Newsmax, a Democrat whistleblower has accused Schiff of endorsing unethical and potentially illegal tactics while serving on the House Intelligence Committee, setting off a firestorm of scrutiny over his past actions, Newsmax reported.
Let’s rewind to 2017, when this whistleblower, a seasoned intelligence officer with over a decade of service for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee, first raised the alarm to the FBI about Schiff’s alleged conduct.
This wasn’t just a casual complaint—the officer labeled the supposed leaks as “unethical,” “illegal,” and even “treasonous,” painting a damning picture of political gamesmanship at the highest levels.
Even more eyebrow-raising, the whistleblower claims Schiff’s team assured them not to fear prosecution, citing protection under the Constitution’s speech and debate clause as a convenient shield.
The Department of Justice wasn’t too eager to dig deeper, reportedly brushing off the issue with the same constitutional excuse, leaving one to wonder if accountability is just a buzzword in Washington.
Fast forward to more recent times, and the whistleblower was interviewed again by the FBI in 2023, showing this isn’t some dusty old grievance but a lingering concern.
Adding insult to injury, FBI memos reveal the whistleblower told a former GOP colleague on the committee that Schiff’s staff terminated their position, allegedly due to a perceived lack of “party loyalty” after voicing objections to the leak strategy.
That’s right—raise a principled concern, and you might just find yourself out of a job, which hardly screams “bipartisan integrity” from the folks in charge.
Late last month, a source informed Newsmax that FBI Director Kash Patel uncovered sensitive documents tied to the origins of the Trump-Russia probe in a secretive FBI room, shedding new light on old controversies.
Patel didn’t hold back on social media, declaring, “We found it.” He went on to emphasize that Congress can now examine how classified info may have been weaponized to craft political narratives, a statement that cuts to the heart of public trust in our institutions.
Call it a gut punch to those who believed the Russia collusion saga was aboveboard—Patel’s words suggest a deliberate effort to manipulate the story, and that’s a bitter pill for any American to swallow.
On July 18, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced she was presenting substantial evidence to the DOJ, claiming then-President Barack Obama and his national security team orchestrated a long-running scheme against Trump following his 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton.
Meanwhile, Schiff faces separate heat, as Breitbart reported on Aug. 6 that he’s under federal investigation for allegedly falsifying mortgage documents to snag favorable home loan terms, a criminal referral made by the Federal Housing Finance Agency to the DOJ.
Between these latest whistleblower claims and ongoing probes, Schiff’s tenure on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence is under a microscope, leaving conservatives to question whether justice will finally catch up—or if political privilege will win again.
