Whether far-left Democratic U.S. Senator Adam Schiff of California faces possible prosecution for ordering the release of classified information in 2017, when he was ranking member of the House intelligence committee, is legally murky.
But one thing isn’t. Either Schiff or the whistleblower is a felon. In the first case, the felony is leaking classified information. In the second, the felony is lying to the FBI.
Law Professor Jonathan Turley has offered an analysis of Schiff’s situation on X and on his website pursuant to revelations from newly declassified FBI files that a Democratic staff member spilled the beans on Schiff. If Schiff did what the staff member alleged, it was a “premeditated” crime, Turley averred.
That effort, by the way, didn’t stop with promoting the Russia Collusion hoax, which was conceived by Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign hitmen, approved by Clinton, and aided and abetted by the Obama administration.
Plus, Schiff was a major player behind the lie that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation. And he falsely claimed that U.S. intelligence officials believed as much.
