Schiff has made it his mission to attack Trump. But now he’s finally lost it.
And Adam Schiff is peddling absolute insanity after being shown up by the Trump administration.
Schiff Rejects Gabbard’s Claims on Obama’s Role in Russiagate
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) dismissed allegations from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that former President Barack Obama and his national security team fabricated the Trump-Russia collusion narrative during the 2016 election.
Gabbard declassified a 2020 House Intelligence Committee memo asserting that Obama’s team, including CIA Director John Brennan, produced a “false” Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) claiming Russian President Vladimir Putin favored Trump.
Schiff told Fox News Digital on Capitol Hill, “I think what Gabbard and her staff are doing is dishonest and misstated, and I’ll leave it at that.”
White House spokesman Davis Ingle countered, calling Schiff a “chief propagandist” of the “Russia collusion hoax” and accusing him of covering his tracks.
Schiff’s prominent role as a House Intelligence Committee leader during the 2016 Russia probe, where he repeatedly pushed unverified collusion claims, has drawn renewed scrutiny, particularly as his past actions are questioned amid allegations of personal misconduct.
Russiagate’s Origins and Schiff’s Role Under Scrutiny
The 2016 Trump-Russia collusion narrative, often termed the “Russiagate hoax” by critics, stemmed from the Steele dossier, a discredited report funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
The dossier’s unverified allegations fueled FISA warrants against Trump aide Carter Page, but Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s 2019 investigation found no evidence of criminal conspiracy.
Gabbard’s declassified memo claims Obama’s team, including Brennan, Susan Rice, and others, published 15 substandard reports post-election to bolster the 2017 ICA’s assertion that Putin aimed to “denigrate” Clinton and boost Trump.
Schiff, as a leading voice in Congress, amplified these claims, insisting on their accuracy even recently, stating, “It’s been proven accurate.”
Critics argue Schiff’s unwavering support for the flawed narrative, despite evidence like John Durham’s 2023 report highlighting FBI mishandling, reflects a partisan agenda that misled the public and undermined trust in democratic processes.
Schiff Faces Broader Allegations Amid Accountability Push
The Justice Department has formed a “strike force” to investigate Gabbard’s evidence of Obama-era misconduct in the Russia probe, aligning with President Trump’s calls to expose the “Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.”
Trump has targeted Schiff, nicknaming him “Shifty” and alleging on Truth Social that he “falsified Loan Documents” related to a 2003-2019 Maryland property, as claimed in a U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency letter to the DOJ.
Schiff, who led Trump’s first impeachment, dismissed these accusations as “baseless political retribution,” but they add to questions about his credibility.
