Rep. Adam Schiff Responds To White House Challenge To Review Obama Surveillance…
If you’ve been following along you’ll note ranking member of the intelligence committee Adam Schiff (pictured above) didn’t want to see the ‘Gang-of-Eight’ level intelligence previously reviewed by Intel Chairman Devin Nunes.
However, as a result of President Trump publicly sending a letter to Adam Schiff and Senator Mark Warner, ranking member Schiff no longer has an option to keep looking away. If he refused to look at the surveillance intelligence Schiff would be exposing his political motivations – an entrenched ideology attempting to protect President Obama.
Trump smartly positions Schiff where his only play is to accept the invitation from the White House. Thus the press conference below and his answers to the questions. You only need to watch the first 10:00 minutes to get a sense of Shiff’s understanding of where he is: [video at link]
However, that said, the moment at 08:08 is very revealing in that Adam Schiff states he wants to conduct an additional intelligence hearing with three specific people: Former CIA Director John Brennan, former DNI James Clapper, and former interim Asst. Attorney General Sally Yates.
