Ex‑Intelligence Officer Claims Schiff Gave Green Light for Leak
Matt Margolis, a seasoned career intelligence officer who spent over a decade on the House Intelligence Committee slotting up for Democrats, has resurfaced his old dossier on a high‑profile political drama. He says that since 2017 the FBI was warned that Adam Schiff—then a rookie congressman—had actually signed off on blowing up classified documents to help paint President Donald Trump in a bad light. The whole affair, now famously debunked, was part of the Russiagate scare.
What the Officer Is Saying
- “I see a pattern,” he told investigators, pointing to the timeline.
- The leak was “approved” by a senior Democratic member of Congress.
- It was supposedly staged to create a narrative that Trump was colluding with Russia.
Why This Matters
Margolis’s claim suggests that political influence might have stretched beyond policy making into covertly engineering leaks. If true, the accused leak wasn’t a careless mistake—it was an orchestrated maneuver deployed to smudge a sitting president.
Chuckles & Rumbles
In a nutshell: “It was less of a leak and more of a lit‑up, legal‑scale PR stunt,” Margolis quips in the notes to the FBI. The story’s pedigree doesn’t seem to have been walled off by the bureaucracy – it surfed straight into the public eye like a virus that couldn’t be contained.
Schiff’s Political Plight: From Dossier Drama to DOJ Drama
Picture this: Adam Schiff, the maverick of the House Intelligence Committee, takes the stage as the very poster child of the Trump‑Russia collusion saga. He reads the infamous Steele dossier straight into the congressional record—one pass that most would call shameless. He even went on to boast of “intelligence” that proved Trump was guilty…in real life, this turned out to be pure fiction.
The Feds, the FBI, and the “White‑Blind” Game
- Just the News snagged FBI memos that Director Kash Patel has just shipped to Congress, revealing how Schiff was apparently using classified intel like a political weapon.
- According to the 302 interview, a Democratic “friend” of Schiff—who’s meanwhile also a California Senate seat holder—called the leaks “unethical, illegal, and treasonous.” Yet Schiff assured him no one would worry, claiming the “speech and debate clause” would save him.
- Surprisingly, no public statements from the Attorney General or the Solicitor General acknowledged that this punch‑line was legally solid.
- The DOJ, back when the scandal first surfaced, turned a blind eye, copying the same reasoning Schiff offered. They seemed to think a political scandal was a free‑wheeling “in the red” rhetoric.
2023 Leaks: A Little “Indictment” Party
Fast‑forward to 2023, a whistleblower (with a name we’ll leave redacted, because the truth sometimes needs a spoiler alert) recounted a meeting where Schiff explicitly fizzed accusations of “leaking classified info” to get Trump indicted. The whistleblower stated Schiff said it was “illegal,” but members of the meeting beatled the idea that there would be consequences.
With the statute of limitations by now, Schiff is safely out of the courtroom’s cross‑hair.
The Bumpy Road to Mortgage Fraud
And if that wasn’t enough, Schiff has recently been handed a DOJ referral over suspected mortgage fraud—adding another twist to a story that’s more crime thriller than typical congressional drama.
Patel’s Big Reveal & the Aftermath
Patel’s revelation is the fulcrum. “For years, officials used their positions to selectively leak classified information to shape political narratives,” he told Just the News. “It was all aimed at weaponizing intelligence and law enforcement for political gain, which erodes public trust.”
He underscores that the FBI will now lead the charge with DOJ partners and Congress will have a chance to uncover how political power was weaponized—and, hopefully, restore accountability.
The Bottom Line: Smash the Cynos in Washington
It’s impossible to ignore how Schiff hijacked congressional authority and classified intel to orchestrate what seems like a political war from the heart of government. The only real beneficiaries? Cynics who bet on Washington’s inability to police itself. For anyone holding an eye on politics, the sheer audacity of these abuses demands not just censure, but real accountability. Schiff’s betrayal—armed with classified intelligence, aimed to neutralize Trump—has finally been laid bare. The next page of this story will either follow a redemption arc or an all‑in‑the‑court‑room showdown.
