What is most interesting about this story is what Schiff doesn’t say. First he says that nothing warranted different from the normal reviewing procedures by Devin Nunes. As we reported, Nunes’ review was perfectly normal. NSC helped him view it, because again that’s normal. Others in the White House didnt know about the information which is why he had to inform them of it. Most importantly, Schiff doesn’t dispute anything about the material itself, which means it says exactly what Nunes says it does, otherwise he would dispute it.
WASHINGTON — Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., traveled to the White House Friday to view documents President Donald Trump has said partially vindicate his claim that his predecessor ordered surveillance of him during the campaign.
In a statement, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said he was told they were “precisely the same materials” viewed previously by the committee’s chairman, Republican Rep. Devin Nunes of California, and Schiff said they should now be shared with the full panel membership.
“Nothing I could see today warranted a departure from the normal review procedures,” Schiff said, adding that he could not discuss the contents of the documents, which remain classified.
