Rep. Adam Schiff, election transparency crusader, does NOT want to #ReleaseTheMemo

Doug P. | 9:43 AM on January 20, 2018

California Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff has been among the leading voices on the Left calling for full transparency about the 2016 election so the American people can know exactly what happened. However, the transparency Schiff has called for apparently only applies to anything that might fit the Democrats’ “Trump/Russia collusion” narrative. As far as the classified memo that has shocked Republicans in Congress by documenting alleged surveillance abuses, Schiff is saying “not so fast”:

Schiff on FISA memo: The documents that supposedly inform these talking points are highly classified. And they will not be made public, making it impossible for the few Members who have seen the documents to explain the flaws and misstatements contained within the talking points

Schiff’s positions on the need for full transparency about what happened in 2016 are indeed highly selective.

Leaky Schiff has had the better part of 48 hours to come up with an excuse and this is his best attempt at spin? LOL #ReleaseTheMemo

The longer Schiff & the Dems lie, stall and obfuscate about the #FISAmemo the greater focus and attention they draw to it. It's going to come out, but now EVERYBODY is going to read it. Good job.#ReleaseTheMemo https://t.co/MGNtt6V2O9
