REPORT: Schiff Knew of Whistle-Blower Accusations Before Complaint Was Filed
Schiff denies he met with the so-called “whistle-blower” before a complaint was filed.
Wednesday, the New York Times reported that Rep. Adam Schiff, the House Intel Committee Chairman who beclowned himself repeatedly in the Trump/Russia conspiracy mongering, had knowledge of the whistle-blower’s concerns about Trump’s conversation with the Ukrainian president before an official complaint was filed.
From the NYT:
The Democratic head of the House Intelligence Committee, Representative Adam B. Schiff of California, learned about the outlines of a C.I.A. officer’s concerns that President Trump had abused his power days before the officer filed a whistle-blower complaint, according to a spokesman and current and former American officials.
The early account by the future whistle-blower shows how determined he was to make known his allegations that Mr. Trump asked Ukraine’s government to interfere on his behalf in the 2020 election. It also explains how Mr. Schiff knew to press for the complaint when the Trump administration initially blocked lawmakers from seeing it.
The C.I.A. officer approached a House Intelligence Committee aide with his concerns about Mr. Trump only after he had had a colleague first convey them to the C.I.A.’s top lawyer. Concerned about how that initial avenue for airing his allegations through the C.I.A. was unfolding, the officer then approached the House aide. In both cases, the original accusation was vague.
The House staff member, following the committee’s procedures, suggested the officer find a lawyer to advise him and meet with an inspector general, with whom he could file a whistle-blower complaint. The aide shared some of what the officer conveyed to Mr. Schiff. The aide did not share the whistle-blower’s identity with Mr. Schiff, an official said.
Schiff denies he met with the so-called “whistle-blower” before a complaint was filed. The NYT report seems to back-up Schiff’s claim. Having knowledge of an incident and meeting with the individual bringing a complaint are different. I’m sure we’ll learn more in the coming days.
That said, advance knowledge gave Schiff a leg up in planning the dog and pony impeachment show that has become our national shame du jour.
A flashback to September 24, when I reported that @RepAdamSchiff somehow knew to open hearings into Giuliani-Ukraine on 9/9, the same day he learned about an IC whistle blower complaint but supposedly wasn't told its substance. Now we know he did know.https://t.co/SSy4hhVOAz https://t.co/FJifKK4ZHR

Sorry, but Schiff has lied repeatedly, with his track record of lies told I wouldn’t trust him in telling us his name without lying.
When his eyes are bugging out he is lying.
Schiff has been accused of Treason.
This evidence just seals the verdict.
Neocon anti-Trumper, Ben Shapiro, claims ir is wrong to refer to a whistleblower working through the system as treasonous behavior.
Not clear that policy should be the subject a a “whistle blower complaint”. Also the Inspector General of an intelligence agency has no jurisdiction to investigate Presidential actions. Finally, talking to Adam Schiff is not going through channels. One knows he will leak.

Schiff has now lied during multiple congressional sessions & lied to the public on countless occasions on national television. There is absolutely no reason to comply with his kangaroo court subpoenas. Censure not enough. Full expulsion is the only remedy.

LOL
“Neo-CON anti-Trumper, Ben Shapiro” – that says it all!
The US constitution says the same thing.
Anyone accusing Schiff of treason is brazenly defying the constitution. It would make just as much sense to charge the accuser of treason.
The information was classified when it was leaked to House. That would be treason, if leaked to someone who wasn’t qualified to see it. So yes, treason was committed, as far as I can tell.
But it is alright with you when the Democrats relentlessly accuse Trump of treason?
You notice the pattern?
Always protecting the commies and always trying to remove Trump from office.
The boy does not care about the name calling of Kristoff and Krugman. Both are Agents of the Party.
He’ll be adjusting his bowtie when they come to take him and his in for whatever kangaroo court charges they want.
Wouldn’t want to disagree with the opposition, he might actually win something.
It’s treasonous in a sense that it is a betrayal of this worthless hack whistleblower/leaker’s legal and ethical duties. But why worry about pressing treason charges? Whole lotta other charges can be leveled against this sleaze for mishandling classified info. First and foremost though, this scum should be fired.
OH MY!!!

SURPRISE! ICIG Michael Atkinson — Who Turned in the Partisan CIA ‘Whistleblower’ Complaint — Was Top Mueller Hoax Operative
Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson turned in the partisan CIA operative’s ‘whistleblower’ complaint to start the latest impeachment probe against President Donald Trump.
Of course, the liberal mainstream media has ignored this crucial player in their latest impeachment quest.
They don’t want you to delve to deep into Michael Atkinson’s background.
That is because Michael Atkinson played a major role in the Trump-Russia Mueller hoax……
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/10/revealed-icig-michael-atkinson-who-turned-in-the-partisan-cia-whistleblower-complaint-is-top-mueller-hoax-operative/
they may not have talked with Schiff for Brains, but they have admitted that the leaker contacted them first, long before they went to the IG, so they are just parsing words, not being honest.
that also means the leaker is NOT a whistle blower, and is not entitled to any protections under that law.
Could this have to do with Schiff’s leaks?

Of course, the violation is clear, but there will be no prosecution.
Schiff may be a little more careful after he was humilated by the Russian comedians peddling <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gop-rep-digs-up-audio-of-schiff-saying-he-would-accept-dirt-on-trump-from-ukrainian-politician-in-prank-call"false dirt to Schiff.. But Schiff’s vile mission remains the same.
This report might explain why Nancy Pelosi announced the House majority’s “impeachment inquiry” before the complaint by the (so-called) (self-styled) whistleblower released. It’s reasonable to conclude that she knew its substance or contents and that, to her, it was explosive enough to justify announcing the impeachment effort.
And we all need to stop calling this FAKE “whistleblower” that.
They are not.
Perhaps “Democrats LIAR!”
I’m guessing schiff mislead or flat out lied to nancy. schiff removal countdown clock has started.
No way. Pelosi is as dishonest as Schitt.
They’re both anti-American liars.
What a despicable little bug-eyed prevaricator.
Notice him saying “I never MET the whistleblower” – that’s legalese. He can say “now did I talk with him on the phone? Oh lots of times! and we emailed a lot today!!! But I was always careful to walk out of the room before he walked in to talk to my staffers, so I never actually “met” him.
I’m not joking.

“I can unequivocally state that neither any member of the legal team nor the whistleblower has ever met or spoken with Congressman Schiff,” @MarkSZaidEsq, one of the attorneys representing the whistleblower, tells me”
1) Notice they didn’t say they haven’t been in COMMUNICATION with him. They just said they haven’t ‘met’ or ‘spoken with’ him. There are literally a dozen different ways to communicate that don’t involve direct meetings or phone calls.
2) They said CONGRESSMAN SCHIFF. Not ‘anybody from Schiff’s office’. ‘Congressman Schiff’.
What a fucking weasel.
“The early account by the future whistle-blower shows how determined he was to make known his allegations that Mr. Trump asked Ukraine’s government to interfere on his behalf in the 2020 election. ”
They write this as if it’s established fact. Investigating Biden is “interfering with an election” . Apparently this is a horrendous offense. So by that definition, using the US House to investigate Trump is interference in the 2020 election and the Democrats are committing a horrendous crime.
Such a splendidly punchable face.
Wait a second…Putting aside the apparent underhanded actions by Schiff, there remains the consequences that should visit this so-called whistleblower. An unauthorized disclosure to Schiff’s staff (unauthorized in the sense of violating the statutory requirements and presidential directives) would deny this whistelblower/leaker any protections offered by the statute, even if this were a legitimate complaint under the facts and law (which it is not). Frankly he should be fired and prosecuted.
CTH is pointing the finger at Michael Barry.
What if they gave an Impeachment party, and no one came?
Or there’s this.

Ukraine Launched July Probe Of Military Hardware Sales By Adam Schiff Fundraiser
“On Sunday 29 September, a theme was going viral on social media that a Ukrainian-American arms merchant, Igor Pasternak, has held fundraising events for Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA). Some other allegations about Pasternak – e.g., that he is closely tied to George Soros – don’t seem to have a paper trail that could be verified with online research. But the report that Pasternak has done fundraising for Schiff is documented.
Although the widely-cited 2013 fundraiser was in Washington, D.C., Igor Pasternak’s company headquarters is in Montebello, California, on the east side of Los Angeles. It’s near Schiff’s CA-28 congressional district, which lies to the north of it and encompasses major suburbs like Burbank and a chunk of Glendale….”
Concerned about how that initial avenue for airing his allegations through the C.I.A. was unfolding, the officer then approached the House aide.
Any functional organization would immediately terminate an employee who so casually blew off official channels.
He is a current Deep State CIA employee!!!!!!!!!

What a friggin’ shock.
It’s almost as if President Trump has deployed spies to spy on the #Resistance spies!
Do the Schiffs of the world really think the whistleblower will be able to remain anonymous throughout the whole process? Prove to the world that he exists by producing him now because it’s starting to look like Schiff wrote it himself.
So we are supposed to believe Schiff now? Why?
He lost any confidence in a thinking person years ago, while the impeachment addled leftist might still think he’s honest, the rest of the world says no.
“I can unequivocally state that neither any member of the legal team nor the whistleblower has ever met or spoken with Congressman Schiff,” @MarkSZaidEsq, one of the attorneys representing the whistleblower, tells me.
And yet this statement does not preclude any other liaisons, including other attorneys, serving as an intermediary between these two parties. Strong-sounding statement that does not hold up to much scrutiny.
by “knew of” what they really mean is “collaborated with”.
