“Proof Schiff Leaked Classified Intel To Indict Trump” 

By Jeff Childers, practicing attorney

[COMMENTS BY DONNA GARNER: FBI Director Kash Patel has just released declassified FBI interview reports going back to 2017. 


These reports came from a “whistleblower” who is a longtime Democrat and who was assigned to the House Intelligence Committee.


The “whistleblower” indicated that in 2017 then-House Rep. Adam Schiff personally and deliberately leaked classified information in front of staff with the stated goal of “indicting Pres. Trump” with “RussiaGate” lies. 


At the time, the “whistleblower” kept protesting the lies but was constantly reassured by Schiff that all the people involved would be protected from prosecution. 


It looks as if Adam Schiff was wrong.


It appears that Schiff and his “team” will
NOT be protected from prosecution now that FBI Director Kash Patel is in charge.]

The latest shoe in the RussiaGate declassification story dropped late last night [8.11.25], and the stakes ratcheted up yet another level. 


Here comes the most mind-blowing dot of all.
 


Yesterday, Trump-aligned Just The News broke a searing story under the headline, “
Exclusive: Democrat whistleblower told FBI that Schiff okayed leaking classified intel to hurt Trump.” 


About ten hours ago, 
FBI Director Kash Patel posted this on X:


According to newly declassified FBI interview reports, a longtime Democrat analyst assigned to the House Intelligence Committee
[“the whistleblower”] said then-House Rep. Adam Schiff personally greenlit leaking classified info in 2017 to hurt Trump — in front of staff, with the stated goal of “indicting the president.” 


The whistleblower himself called it “unethical,” “illegal,” and even “treasonous,” but was reassured that Schiff believed the speech-and-debate clause would protect him from prosecution.


The whistleblower complained to the FBI multiple times over six years, between 2017 and 2023, describing meetings,
naming Eric Swalwell as another suspected leaker, and recounting specific episodes including one where aparticularly sensitive documentwas leaked to the press within 24 hours of being viewed by a handful of staff and members


The leaker also said he was fired for “lack of party loyalty” after refusing to join the leaking conspiracy.



Unsurprisingly,
the DOJ never acted


Director Patel has now turned over to Congress the FBI’s internal 302 interview memos, along with other leak-related documents, hinting at a broader reckoning with politicized intelligence. 


Note the 
timing of this latest declass.



This isn’t gossip, partisan spin, or a creative reading of timelines. 


It’s a sworn Democratic insider, embedded on the House Intelligence Committee, telling the FBI in multiple formal interviews AT THE TIME that he personally heard Adam Schiff convene staff, outline a plan to leak classified information damaging to Trump, and state the explicit goal: “
INDICT THE PRESIDENT.” 


The whistleblower detailed a coordinated 
process:


(1) sensitive documents restricted to a small circle; 


(2) Schiff deciding what would leak; 


(3) staffers offering reassurances that they “would not be caught”;


(4) an admission that betrays consciousness of guilt, and; 


(5) an awareness that they were crossing legal lines.


The leaks then appeared in the press almost verbatim within days. 


Layered with dates, meetings, named players, and repeat episodes over months,
it meets the textbook definition of a conspiracy: multiple actors, in agreement, secretly, committing unlawful acts toward a shared objective


Captured in official FBI 302s now in Congress’s hands, it is the most direct, contemporaneous evidence yet that RussiaGate’s narrative wasn’t merely sloppy intelligence work — it was a deliberate, organized, secret plot carried out while knowing it was wrong.


We just learned
who the conspiracy’s Congressional ringleader wasAdam Schiff


Back in the early RussiaGate phase, Schiff told media outlets he had 
seen direct evidenceof Trump–Russia collusion, language clearly intended to suggest insider sourcing. 


In hindsight — and in light of these newly revealed FBI 302s — it’s hard to avoid the pattern: 


Schiff presenting himself as the conduit for virtuous truth-tellers exposing Trump, while allegedly running his own clandestine leak network inside the House Intelligence Committee, drip-feeding classified material to the press for the identical political ends
as Obama, Comey, Brennan, and the rest.


If Democrats want to argue about
whether Schiff’s treasonous leaks of classified intel were protected by his speech privilege, whether his crimes lie beyond the statute of limitations, or whether his Biden pardon provides immunitythey still lose


Any argument conceding 
the facts of what happened fails from the first.


The only way they can avoid this one is by somehow discrediting the whistleblower. 


But the whistleblower —described as an experienced intelligence analyst— knew 
at the time that providing false statements to the FBI was a serious federal felony. 


Nor did the FBI discredit his claims 
at the time—instead, it even seemed to verify the claims, citing Schiff’s privilege rather than tossing out the evidence as insufficient.


This latest disclosure is clearly the next step in the mounting stream of disclosure,
carefully building a public permission structure for arrests or other substantive action


That much seems obvious.
