The FBI says that California lawmaker Adam Schiff "leaked classified information" in order to get President Trump indicted in 2017. Why would he do this? Because he wanted to be the Director of the CIA if Hillary Clinton won the Presidency and he was "particularly upset" about that, according to recently declassified information.

The FBI released testimony from a Democrat staffer who blew the whistle on Russiagate as far back as 2017. According to FBI summaries, Schiff — then a California Representative — instructed the staffer to leak classified information and assured him he’d be shielded from prosecution under the Constitution’s speech and debate clause.

The staffer said Democrats were feeding the press “impressions” of Russian collusion without evidence, and in some cases, directly leaking classified material. This matches what the Twitter Files showed — Schiff pressuring the platform to “find” Russian bots and threatening them when they couldn’t.

Schiff’s CIA ambition is news. The Clinton campaign never floated his name for an intelligence role, and Schiff has no intelligence background — he’s a career politician.

So the question is: Was he trying to take down Trump out of pure vendetta, or did Hillary Clinton hint at a quid pro quo if they pulled it off?
