Adam Schiff Confirms Democratic Memo Contains ‘Sources and Methods’

Daily Caller:

  • California Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff confirmed that his party’s memo needed to be scrubbed for sources and methods
  • This directly contradicts House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s claim that the delay was President Donald Trump attempting a cover-up
  • Schiff criticized former President Barack Obama’s lack of response to cyber warfare

White House problems with the Democrats’ “rebuttal memo” on the surveillance of Trump associates are genuine and the document could disclose “sources and methods,” California Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence confirmed.

“We need to go through that and identify that which remains classified and would implicate sources and methods or investigative interests,” he said at a newsmaker’s breakfast meeting on Wednesday sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor.

His comments constituted a direct rebuke to his party’s top boss in the House of Representatives, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

White House counsel Don McGahn said in a statement Friday that Trump was “inclined” but “unable” to declassify the Democrat’s 10-page memo because it “contains numerous properly classified and especially sensitive passages,” according to Politico.

Schiff’s conciliatory statement could embarrass Pelosi. In a stinging comment following the McGahn statement, Pelosi said, “President Trump’s refusal to release Intelligence Committee Democrats’ memo is a stunningly brazen attempt to cover up the truth about the Trump-Russia scandal from the American people.”  read more

  1. What the hell! What ship is Shiff for brains on, now? I know he hasn’t found lucidity! I really hate the damn political games. HBO or NETFLIX needs a program to replace House Of Cards or whatever it was called. Maybe comedy of irony, SWAMP GAS, based upon the reality of our looney government, portrayed by the look alike characters of the SWAMP. But truthfully portrayed using current words, actions, speeches, behaviors, etc.

    Take a step away from the tragedy of our current circle jerk politics and you will see the cast of ludicrous characters. They are getting paid by us! And we keep electing them!

  2. “Schiff’s conciliatory statement could embarrass Pelosi.”

    Nancy has no shame or conscious, she is incapable of being embarrassed. She is just a National embarrassment.
