A Democrat whistleblower’s claims, supported by newly declassified FBI interview documents, now pose a significant threat to the political future of Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA).
Should the whistleblower’s narrative prove to be true and prosecutors decide to take action, Schiff may encounter not only the potential end of his political career but also substantial financial repercussions and lengthy prison sentences. As Tolman pointed out, the legal risks could escalate rapidly: “It depends on the counts in the indictment… The fine is up to $250,000 for every leak that’s charged.”
These allegations trace back to Schiff’s tenure in the U.S. House, where he held the position of ranking member — and subsequently chairman — of the House Intelligence Committee during the Trump–Russia investigation.
According to Just The News, the whistleblower, who had been employed by Democrats on the committee for over a decade, consistently informed the FBI starting in 2017 that Schiff had sanctioned the leaking of classified intelligence to the media to undermine then-President Donald Trump.
