Former Trump administration high-ranking official, Mike Pompeo, accused Rep. Adam Schiff [aka Schiffhead] (D-CA) of leaking classified information during his time on the House Intelligence Committee, where he and the other members are sworn to keep all classified information to themselves, which they don't.
The allegations come after Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) blocked the bug-eyed congressman's appointment to remain on the House Intelligence Committee, where he was its chairman the last four years and repeatedly made claims about information he alleged to have about former President Donald Trump and Russian collusion. Of course, all of this turned out to be a lie but Schiff remained as chairman and nothing was done to stop him from helping the Democrats steal the presidential election.
“During my time as CIA director and secretary of state, I know that he [Schiffhead] leaked classified information that had been provided to him,” Pompeo told Fox News on Wednesday.
Pompeo did not offer specifics, but he insisted the problem was bad enough to restrict what he shared with Congress.
He also appeared on Fox News' "Outnumbered" and was asked by co-host Emily Compagno why Schiff has not been held accountable if such leaks would be "a felony at minimum, up to treason."
“It’s a complicated process, right? It’s difficult to pin down precisely what happened,” Pompeo said. “But I could tell you that when we provided information to him and to his staff, it ended up in places it shouldn’t have been with alarming regularity. We could see it. In the end, I decided, I held back information from them as a result.”
That's what a trial for treason could sort out but it never came to that because people in power tend to get away with most anything, perhaps even murder (see Hillary Rodham Clinton for more on the subject).
Schiff denied leaking classified information, of course, because if he admitted to it, he'd be in big trouble. He unconvincingly told the Communist News Network in 2020, “I haven’t. My staff hasn’t,” but also added, “I can’t speak for what all the members of the committee have done or not done, including a lot of the Republican members.”
Others in the intelligence community have also pointed out that Schiff had leaked classified information to the public and therefore enemies of the United States. Former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell said the Schiff and his cronies “regularly” leaked classified information.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) suggested to conservative commentator Lisa Boothe in April 2021 that Schiff could be a source for dubious reports on Russia offering bounties to Afghan militants to kill U.S. troops. Schiff spokesman Patrick Boland shot back with a brief response to the Washington Examiner at the time, “Yet another false and baseless claim by Tom Cotton — you would think he would know better by now.”
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Speaker McCarthy kicked the Schiff off the House Intelligence Committee, along with Rep. Eric [aka Gasman] Swalwell (D-CA), the latter who was discovered to be banging Fang Fang a Chinese spy. McCarthy called Schiff a serial liar, especially in regard to investigations related to Donald Trump, and Pompeo praised the Speaker for removing Schiff from the committee.
Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) nominated Schiff to the committee over the weekend, calling him “eminently qualified.” After he was blocked, Schiffhead responded by claiming McCarthy’s move was “petty, political payback for investigating Donald Trump,” and that he had inside information that would take down the entire GOP, Donald and Melania Trump, Russia, Tucker Carlson, Hannity, Ben Shapiro, and the Rockettes.
