Sen. Roger “Doc” Marshall, R-Kan, on Thursday called for accountability for Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., for approving the leaking of classified information to smear then-President Donald Trump in 2017 when he was still a member of the House.
“We used to have a saying, ‘loose lips sink ships,’” Marshall said on the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show. “Right? So, for whatever reason, members of Congress are just really loose with their lips and with these secrets.
An intelligence officer who worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for more than a decade repeatedly warned the FBI beginning in 2017 that Schiff approved leaking classified information to smear Trump over the now-debunked Russiagate scandal, according to an FBI memo first reported on by Just the News.
The FBI 302 interview reports obtained by Just the News state that the intelligence staffer — a Democrat by party affiliation who described himself as a friend to both Schiff, now a California U.S. senator, and former Republican House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes — considered the classified leaking to be “unethical,” “illegal,” and “treasonous,” but was told not to worry about it because Schiff believed he would be spared prosecution under the Constitution’s speech and debate clause.
