Adam Schiffing in his skivvies as Russian probe transcripts are revealed

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) might need to got to Costco for a few 6 packs. No, not for beer, for underwear.

This goes along with former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation and it makes Committee Chairman Adam Schiff's claim that he has evidence against the Trump campaign sound like the boy who cried that he has “direct evidence” of collusion.

One senior administration official told Fox News, “Schiff is in panic mode.”

The GOP sought to obtain over 6,000 pages of transcripts pertaining to 2017 and 2018 committee interviews after a bipartisan vote in 2018 to release the transcripts to the public.

The following day, acting DNI director Richard Grenell notified Schiff[less] that the redactions and declassification process was complete and the transcripts were ready for release, thus causing Schiff's eyes to bulge and his skivvies to moisten.

Now it was Schiff's move.

But on Wednesday, intelligence officials told the outlet that Schiff had his subcommittee staff director reaching out to other intel agencies to determine how Grenell was involved and what his role was, since he was not a Trump-hater and may have wanted to learn the truth. If Grenell was involved in the declassification process, Schiff would try to taint the veracity of the transcripts.

But lah-dee-dah; the redactions were completed before Grenell became acting director in February.

The redaction and declassification process took place under former directors Dan Coates and Joseph Maguire and conducted by career intelligence officials, Fox News reported. The official also told the outlet that the relevant heads of appropriate agencies were consulted on the declassifications and redactions of all 53 transcripts.

Grenell informed Schiff on May 4, that the review of 43 of the 53 transcripts "was completed in June 2019," and the "interagency review of the remaining ten transcripts has been completed," adding, "pursuant to your guidance, these transcripts have not been shared with the White House."

The final ten transcripts included interviews with Donald Trump Jr., former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, the president’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner, Trump aide, the hot Hope Hicks and former campaign manager the execrable Corey Lewandowski.

Putting Schiff deeper in the hole, Grenell wrote that he was "willing" to release the transcripts directly from the ODNI “as to ensure we comply with the unanimous and bipartisan vote to release the transcripts.” It’s unclear, at this point, when Grenell could release the transcripts.

A House Intelligence Committee spokesman told Fox News on Wednesday that the panel received Grenell’s letter on Tuesday.

“After more than a year of unnecessary delay, the ODNI has finally concluded its protracted classification review of the committee’s transcripts, and it also appears the White House has now abandoned its improper insistence on reviewing key transcripts, which the committee appropriately rejected,” the spokesman said.

“We are now reviewing the proposed redactions from ODNI based on classification, law enforcement sensitivity or items ODNI requests be for official use only,” the spokesman continued. “Given the overtly political role now played by the acting DNI, including the leak of his letter, this committee and the public can have little confidence that his determinations are made on the merits.”

The spokesman added: “This process had already taken far too long, most notably because the ODNI improperly held up the declassification review and release of several transcripts at the request of the White House.”

The spokesman also said that the committee’s review of ODNI’s “newly proposed redactions” would be “as expeditious as possible given the constraints of the pandemic.” He continued, “We look forward to releasing these transcripts, which relate to misconduct by the Trump campaign and the president himself.”

The 53 eligible transcripts include interviews with Don Jr., Bannon, Hicks, Kushner, Lewandowski, Roger Stone, Brad Parscale, Mike Caputo, Rick Dearborn, and former Trump attorney [now disbarred] Michael "The Chin" Cohen.

Interview transcripts with Obama officials such as former DNI Director James "Wittingly" Clapper; former Attorney General Loretta  Lynch; former UN Ambassador Samantha Power; former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe; former National Security Adviser Susan "It Was A Video" Rice; former Obama counselor and Hillary Clinton Campaign Manager John Podesta; and several more too corrupt to mention.

The people interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee during the Russia probe were all asked whether they had any evidence that Trump or anyone in his campaign conspired, colluded or coordinated with Russia during the 2016 campaign and not a single one of them could provide even a shred of evidence to support the collusion claim.

“The transcripts show a total lack of evidence, despite Schiff personally going out saying he had more than circumstantial evidence that there was collusion,” one source involved in House Russia investigations told Fox News.

Mueller, similarly, at the conclusion of his nearly two-year-long, overpriced, taxpayer-funded investigation, said he and his team found no evidence of criminal conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia, but did not reach a conclusion on obstruction of justice, which current Attorney General Bill Barr ultimately decided not to pursue.


While law enforcement officials have long maintained that there was clear intelligence Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election, to date, there have been no charges concerning actual conspiracy against people associated with the Trump campaign, which was at the core of the Russia investigation.

The Russia probe never produced charges linking the Trump campaign and Russia as part of a criminal conspiracy.
