A US Representative accused of telling bold lies to the American people and manipulating the media with leaks of classified information gathered during a high-ranking committee hearing weaponized to smear his political opponents and shape public opinion in his favor has received some bad news about his schemes and tactics, as well as the consequences of lying.

For years, Adam Schiff, the former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, has been accused of leaking secret material. Some important personalities are refusing to let people forget about him now that he’s running for the United States Senate. Former CIA Director Mike Pompeo recently stated that Schiff should no longer have access to it, according to Martin Walsh of Conservative Brief.

“During my time as CIA director and secretary of state, I know that he leaked classified information that had been provided to him,” Pompeo said, noting that Schiff played a crucial role in the Trump-Russia investigation, which was plagued with leaks to the media for years.

Schiff has frequently used his privilege to deceive the American people about critical facts, a constitutional entitlement that has been abused.

Here is how the US Congress defines the power:

“They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

It might explain Schiff’s desire to remain in office.

Schiff is the master of the Speech and Debate Clause, which he believes protects him:

Pence is now claiming the Speech and Debate Clause — meant for senators and members — allows him to avoid testifying about Jan 6.

Just shows the lengths Pence will go to avoid doing his duty and telling the truth.

What a way to launch a presidential campaign.

Schiff was busted and caught leaking information:

“It’s a complicated process, right? It’s difficult to pin down precisely what happened,” Pompeo said. “But I could tell you that when we provided information to him and to his staff, it ended up in places it shouldn’t have been with alarming regularity. We could see it. In the end, I decided I held back information from them as a result.”
