Funny....Pelosi is whining about Trump blocking Fauci from testifying when Schiff has been blocking the release of House Intel Committee Probe transcripts approved for release since SEPTEMBER 2018

That's a lie.............but you already know that.

As I said yesterday, your thread is a pile of bullshit. Flogging the subject doesn't change a thing.

A House Intelligence Committee spokesman told Fox News Wednesday that the panel received Grenell's letter on Tuesday. (IOW, Schiff's committee has had all of one day since it was told the DNI's review has been completed.............dipshit.)

"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."

During his House Committee Coup hearings Schiff and his hand-picked Impeachment monkeys posted THEIR summary of what THEY said happened / was said, making it easily accessible, while hours or longer later making the real transcripts available on remote sites where it was hard to access.

Schiff criminally authored his own version of transcripts of the President's phone call and attempted to submit it as evidence.

For more than a year he perpetrated Sedition and lied to Congress and the American people by falsely claiming he had direct evidence of crimes committed by the president, evidence <Mueller and hois team did not even have - ALL OF WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE A LIE.

He lied again, over and over to Congress and the American people about the non-existent 'Whistle Blower' involving a coup attempt over a complaint that was addressed by every prosecutorial division in the DOJ who assed there to be no crime...before Schiff manufactured an entire political Impeachment out of it.

Schiff is a proven liar and criminal who should be in jail right now. Just like his sworn oath that he had criminal evidence against Trump this whole promise of his for over a year now to be transparent by releasing those transcripts is all BULLSHIT!

Grenell called his bluff...and is warning Schiff, 'Either YOU release them or I WILL!'

Grenell should just do it, because if he waits on Schiff to do it another year and a half - if not more - will go by.

SCHIFF IN 'PANIC MODE'
Russia probe transcripts show officials came up empty on collusion

NO SHIT!

1. Former FBI Agent P{age testified under oath and stated the FBI had conducted its own illegitimate investigation (based on NO crime / NO evidence) BEFORE THE OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION WAS OPENEN AND BEFORE MUELLER WAS APPOINTED SPECIAL COUNSEL and the FBI came up with NOTHING - NO EVIDENCE OF ILLEGAL COLLUSIUON.

2. Evidence / released documents show the FBI again came up with NOTHING in their investigation of Flynn - NO EVIDENCE OF A CRIME. The FBI agents investigated recommended closing the case against Flynn because they found NO CRIME. Only the little criminal, co-conspiring traitor Strzok kept the investigation open so the FBI could affect their 'perjury trap' Comey ADMITTED they engaged in.

3. The Weismann-Mueller report made it clear, confirming what all the other investigations had concluded: NO ILLEGAL COLUSSION WITH THE RUSSIANS!

4. Now the Russia Probe transcripts being released will confirm what FBI Agent Page testified to, what FBI Agents investigating Flynn concluded when they recommended closing the case against Flynn, and what the Weismann-Mueller team concluded in their report:

THERE WAS NO ILLEGAL RUSSIAN COLUSSION ON THE PART OF TRUMP AND HIS TEAM...,


........but overwhelming evidence shows there sure as hell was between Obama administration Agency Directors / agencies and the Russians, especially / specifically the FBI choosing to use information passed to them through an ex-foreign spy working with the Russians from the Russian Intelligence Service, information they themselves assessed to be RIS propaganda being used already against US foreign policy. The Obama administration / FBI illegally, treasonously used this information in a failed attempt to affect a political coup against the newly elected President of the United States

Next.

During Schiff's FAILED House Intelligence Committee Impeachment hearings, at the end of each session, Schiff refused to allow exact transcripts of everything said during the session to be released. Instead, he and fellow Democrats wrote up their own SUMMARY of what THEY claim was said / presented. (Yeah, we already got a sample of Schiff's 'transcripts' when he authored his own fake transcript of the discussion between the President and Ukraine PM and tried to criminally submit it as evidence during the hearings...). The actual transcripts were placed on some hard-to-download/open govt page, as Schiff attempted to force Americans to rely on HIS account of what happened each day.

As I said, this - Schiff's blocking of documents, as he did during the Impeachment hearings - should not even be a factor right nw as Schiff should be in PRISON right now.

I know it's difficult for you, but try not to be such a flame baiting dickhead. The reason for initially withholding the depositions was announced by Schiff and is routine in such instances.

..................................................................................................................................
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said in a letter Wednesday that interview transcripts from closed-door impeachment inquiry depositions will be made public when they do not "jeopardize investigative equities."

The Dear Colleague letter is designed to counter arguments from Republicans in both the White House and Congress that Democrats are conducting an invalid investigation, since their witness interviews are being held behind closed doors, outside the eyes of the public and lawmakers who don't sit on the three committees leading the investigations.

"At a time that it will not jeopardize investigative equities, we will make the interview transcripts public, subject to any necessary redactions for classified or sensitive information," Schiff wrote.
"We also anticipate that at an appropriate point in the investigation, we will be taking witness testimony in public, so that the full Congress and the American people can hear their testimony firsthand," he added.

Let’s see why Schiff might be trying to keep from releasing them, shall we? A good article that outlines just some of the statements Schiff made that were not true-
“Sechin is reported to be a former KGB agent and close friend of Putin’s. According to Steele’s Russian sources, Page is offered brokerage fees by Sechin on a deal involving a 19 percent share of the company,” the California Democrat added.

Schiff’s decision to embrace the dossier and read it into a government proceeding gave the document enhanced public credibility with the media, just weeks after it had been leaked to the news site Buzzfeed and before its funding origins and accuracy were determined.

Three years later, Schiff is the House Intelligence Committee chairman. But his claims that day, and many others like it over the three years of the Russia scandal, have fallen into grave discredit, directly contradicted by intelligence evidence in recently declassified or released FBI and Justice Department memos and reports, a Just the News review has found.

For instance, Schiff claimed this about the Steele dossier in a Nov. 15, 2017 interview with The Wall Street Journal: “The bigger factor is how much of it can you corroborate and how much of it is true. A lot of it has turned out to be true.”

By the time Schiff made that remark, the former FBI Director James Comey had publicly warned the dossier contained "salacious and unverified material" and the bureau’s own spreadsheet had shown the dossier possessed several errors and mostly uncorroborated evidence, Justice Department memos show. Significant errors or contradictions with Steele's sources had been flagged already by January 2017.

“Despite the FBI’s efforts to corroborate and evaluate the Steele election reporting, we were told by [an FBI employee] that, as of September 2017, the FBI had corroborated limited information in the Steele election reporting, and much of that information was publicly available. Most relevant to the Carter Page FISA applications, the specific substantive allegations contained in Reports 80, 94, 95, and 102, which were relied upon in all four FISA applications, remained uncorroborated and, in several instances, were inconsistent with information gathered by the team,” Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz wrote in his December report.

More recently declassified memos show Steele was far from being held in “high regard” as Schiff claimed at the hearing: By March 2017, the FBI had already terminated Steele for leaking (November 2016), been warned he was susceptible to Russian disinformation (2015), and been told he had an extreme bias against Trump (August 2016).

And Steele’s primary sub-source had disputed to the FBI facts attributed to him in the dossier, warning that Steele’s claim about the Page meeting with Sechin was inaccurate and fed to him by someone connected to Russia intelligence, raising the distinct concern it was disinformation.

“The Primary Sub-source told the FBI that one of his/her sub-sources furnished information for that part of Report 134 through a text message, but said that the sub-source never stated that Sechin had offered a brokerage interest to Page,” Inspector General Horowitz reported.

In a recently declassified footnote, Horowitz added: “The Primary Sub-Source also told the FBI at these interviews that the sub-source who provided the information about the Carter Page-Sechin meeting had connections to Russian Intelligence Services (RIS).”

04-15-20_ODNI_Declassified_Footnotes_20-00337_Unclassified.pdf




At that same March hearing, Schiff pushed another Steele dossier claim. “According to Steele’s Russian sources, the Trump campaign is offered documents damaging to Hillary Clinton, which the Russians would publish through an outlet that gives them deniability, like Wikileaks.”

But like much of the information in the dossier, the FBI found the claim did not stand up when they interviewed Steele’s alleged sources.

“The Primary Sub-source said, among other things, that he/she had only one, 10- to 15-minute telephone call with someone he/she believed was Person 1 and did not recall any discussion or mention of WikiLeaks,” Horowitz reported. “… His/her statement that he/she did not recall any discussion or mention of WikiLeaks during the telephone call was inconsistent with those allegations.”

Many of Schiff’s claims that directly conflict with public evidence today were introduced in formal congressional proceedings.

For instance, here are three claims in Schiff’s Jan. 29, 2018 minority Democratic memo on the House Intelligence Committee’s Russia probe and the conflicting evidence:

Schiff Report Claim: “FBI and DOJ officials did not abuse the FISA process, omit material information, or subvert this vital tool to spy on the Trump campaign. … DOJ met the rigor, transparency, and evidentiary basis needed to meet FISA’s probable cause requirement.”

Declassified Facts: Horowitz told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Dec. 11, 2019, “I do not think the Department of Justice fairly treated these FISAs.” His report went even further in describing how the FBI violated its own rules in submitting four FISA applications with a total of 51 pieces of unverified, inaccurate or false information. “FBI personnel fell far short of the requirement in FBI policy that they ensure that all factual statements in a FISA application are ‘scrupulously accurate,’” he wrote. “We identified multiple instances in which factual assertions relied upon in the first FISA application were inaccurate, incomplete, or unsupported by appropriate documentation.” The FISAs were so flawed in fact that DOJ has formally withdrawn two of the applications from the court in their entirety because they were incontrovertibly inaccurate.

Schiff Report Claim: DOJ and FBI officials “made only narrow use of information from Steele’s sources about Page’s specific activities in 2016.”

Declassified Facts: Horowitz directly contradicted this claim, concluding the dossier “played a central and essential role” in the FISA application. “The FISA request form drew almost entirely from Steele’s reporting in describing the factual basis to establish probable cause to believe that Page was an agent of a foreign power,” the IG wrote.

Schiff Report Claim: “DOJ provided additional information obtained through multiple independent sources that corroborated Steele’s reporting.”

Declassified Facts: “We found that the FBI did not have information corroborating the specific allegations against Carter Page in Steele’s reporting when it relied upon his reports in the first FISA application or subsequent renewal applications,” Horowitz reported in December.

One of the revelations that most undercuts Schiff’s early embrace of the Steele dossier came only recently, when footnotes declassified from the Horowitz report showed the U.S. intelligence community first warned that Steele was susceptible to Russian disinformation starting in 2015 and by early 2017 had specific information in his dossier traced to Russian Intelligence Services (RIS).

“We identified reporting the Crossfire Hurricane team received from [REDACTED] indicating the potential for Russian disinformation influencing Steele's election reporting,” Horowitz wrote in one explosive footnote. “A January 12, 2017, report relayed information from [REDACTED] outlining an inaccuracy in a limited subset of Steele's reporting about the activities of Michael Cohen. The [REDACTED] stated that it did not have high confidence in this subset of Steele's reporting and assessed that the referenced subset was part of a Russian disinformation campaign to denigrate U.S. foreign relations.

“A second report from the same [REDACTED] five days later stated that a person named in the limited subset of Steele's reporting had denied representations in the reporting and the [REDACTED] assessed that the person's denials were truthful," the footnote added. "A USIC report dated February 27, 2017, contained information about an individual with reported connections to Trump and Russia who claimed that the public reporting about the details of Trump's sexual activities in Moscow during a trip in 2013 were false, and that they were the product of RIS 'infiltrating a source into the network'” of Steele.

Those four red flags about Russian intelligence dirty tricks in the Steele dossier all were reported inside the intelligence community before Schiff read parts of the document into the congressional record.

Schiff’s claims on his many television and media appearance during the early days of the Russia collusion narrative have also aged poorly.

In early February 2017, Schiff fanned the narrative that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn may have sought to undercut President Obama’s sanctions on Russia during a phone call with the Russian ambassador and should be prosecuted under the Logan Act.

“Trump’s team, through Flynn, reaches out to the Russian ambassador and potentially says, 'Don’t worry about those sanctions. We’re going to take care of business. We’re not going to bite the hand that fed us.' That’s something that needs to be investigated. That’s hugely consequential,” Schiff told The Atlantic magazine in a Feb. 14, 2017.

By the time Schiff uttered those words, the FBI agent who had investigated Flynn’s contacts with Russia had already concluded on Jan. 4, 2017 that there was “no derogatory information” about Flynn’s contacts and recommended closing down the case, according to recently declassified FBI memos.

File
FBIFlynnCaseCloseMemo.pdf




And recently declassified documents from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe show that the FBI had informed DOJ by late January 2017 that Flynn was not acting as an agent of Russia. Likewise, the main prosecutor for national security cases inside the Justice Department, Mary McCord, and others thought prosecuting Flynn under the Logan Act was unlikely or a “long shot” after reading Flynn’s actual words from a transcript of his conversation with the Russian ambassador, the memos show.

“McCord said that upon learning of Flynn’s phone calls with Ambassador Kislyak, a Logan Act prosecution seemed like a stretch to her,” the Mueller summary of her interview stated.

And a top FBI official's handwritten notes expressed concern the bureau's treatment of Flynn amounted to "playing games" and appeared to involve an effort to get him into an interview where he might so he could prosecuted or fired.

Once again, Schiff was peddling claims that DOJ, FBI and the intelligence community had already dismissed.
