Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) was briefed on unverified intelligence that Russia was offering the Taliban to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan - yet did nothing with that information, according to The Federalist.
Schiff, who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, was a key player in the attempt to remove Trump from office - first claiming he had evidence of collusion with Russia, before pivoting to the Ukraine saga where he spearheaded the House's impeachment of Trump over his request that Ukraine's new president investigate Joe and Hunter Biden over allegations of corruption.
And yet, somehow Schiff failed to weaponize the 'Taliban bounty' story for months after his staff was briefed on the rumor during a February congressional delegation (CODEL) trip to Afghanistan.
The Federalist points out Schiff's hypocrisy:
Schiff’s recent complaints that Trump took no action against Russia in response to rumors of Russian bounties are curious given that Schiff himself took no action after his top staff were briefed by intelligence officials.
As chairman of the intelligence committee, Schiff had the authority to immediately brief the full committee and convene hearings on the matter. Schiff, however, did nothing. He did not brief his committee on the matter, nor did he brief the gang of 8, which consists of top congressional leadership in both chambers.
Schiff is demanding that the Trump administration brief all of Congress about the unverified allegations, yet he himself did not ask for a briefing of the Intelligence Committee following the February briefing of his own staff.

Adam shift impeached a president on a lie. A crime that Biden actually committed. So I would say Adam is the most powerful man in America and will be the next AG.
And I would say no chance of adam shit being the next AG. TRUMP is a smart man, not an idiot like .... will you know where I'm going with this 9:00
7:08 Same as dog faced pony soldier :)
He is a total waste of air space. POS!
This all goes back to 2010 all they did was change the date and the targeting source. Iran was offering 1000 per American head, that was under Obama. These Demonrats were at the helm. They are changing the narrative to make it look likes happening under Trump and its all as Trump says. FAKE!
