John Solomon: Whistleblower Warned FBI That Adam Schiff Authorized Leaking Classified Information To Smear Trump

John Solomon, founder and chief investigative reporter for “Just The News,” reports on Monday’s “Hannity” reports that a whistleblower claims Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) leaked classified information to damage President Donald Trump.

SEAN HANNITY: And tonight, breaking news and new developments as the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax continues to unravel. According to our friend John Solomon and a new report tonight, just out, and he will join us in just a moment, a Democrat whistleblower repeatedly was warning the FBI beginning in 2017 that the congenital liar Adam Schiff had authorized leaking classified information to smear President Trump, which, by the way, could be a violation of the Espionage Act. Here with more on this breaking report, the editor-in-chief, founder, chief investigative reporter, justthenews.com, John Solomon. This is a big story, and this is a Democratic whistleblower, and there might be other Democrats implicated as well, like Kinzinger. JOHN SOLOMON, JUST THE NEWS: Yeah, well, one of the guys that’s in here is Eric Swalwell. Now, that is second-hand information from the whistleblower, but the whistleblower actually attended a meeting with Adam Schiff when he was a ranking member. Yeah. I stand corrected. SEAN HANNITY: They both hate Trump, so I kind of mix them up. JOHN SOLOMON: Yeah, they all merge together these days. Listen, this whistleblower literally sat in a meeting, he says, he tells the FBI, where Adam Schiff authorized the leaking of classified secrets to dirty up Donald Trump and to try to build towards either a select committee in Congress or a special prosecutor. This whistleblower was a career intelligence officer. He had worked for the House Intelligence Committee, Democrat staff, for a dozen years when he came forward to the FBI. He gave four interviews. He gave very specific information to the FBI, and nothing happened. Why? Because the Justice Department simply decided to take a pass. How many times have we sat around in the last decade and heard, we’re going to get to the bottom of that classified leak, and then a few months later, we couldn’t get to the bottom of that classified leak? In the case of Adam Schiff, they got to the bottom of some classified leaks, but the Justice Department chose not to act. So tonight, Attorney General, past Attorney Generals, people like Merrick Garland and Jeff Sessions and Rod Rosenstein, who was acting on Russiagate, they’ve got some serious questions answered. Did they know about this Adam Schiff stuff? Why did they allow it to be passed on, and will anything happen in the current Justice Department? SEAN HANNITY: Great question. Wasn’t it a hearsay so-called whistleblower that led to the entire Ukrainian impeachment? Just refreshing my memory. JOHN SOLOMON: Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And it turns out that what he described in the call wasn’t actually an accurate description of what happened. In this case, eyewitness in the room with Adam Schiff, able to deliver to the FBI. The good news is that Akash Patel has gotten these documents to Congress. By the way, this is the first of several major leak investigations we’re going to see over the next several days. You’re going to see other major people that were clearly identified by the FBI as having leaked classified secrets. Their own staff turned them in when interviewed by the FBI. Nothing again happened. It’s a common pattern. The question now is in Donald Trump’s Justice Department, does that dynamic change?
