An unidentified Democrat whistleblower told the FBI that then-Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff approved leaking classified information to smear Trump, according to newly declassified FBI 302 interview reports obtained by Just The News.

Beginning in 2017, the intel officer who worked on the House Intelligence Committee repeatedly told the FBI that Schiff authorized leaking classified information to destroy Trump during the Russiagate hoax.

The whistleblower said Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell was likely the source of the classified leaks.

At the time of the leaks, Adam Schiff served as the ranking member (and later the chairman) of the House Intelligence Committee. Schiff is now a US Senator for California.

The Gateway Pundit repeatedly reported on Schiff’s leaks to the media during the Trump-Russia witch hunt.

According to the newly declassified FBI report, DOJ officials did not show any interest in probing Schiff over his illegal leaks.

The whistleblower told the FBI as recent as 2023 that he personally witnessed Adam Schiff approve the leaking of classified information.

“When working in this capacity, [redacted staffer’s name] was called to an all-staff meeting by SCHIFF,” the interview report said, according to Just The News. “In this meeting, SCHIFF stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States DONALD J. TRUMP. SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP.”

The whistleblower also told federal agents that Schiff was promised the posiition as CIA Director if Hillary Clinton won the 2016 election.

The Democrat whistleblower was abruptly fired for reporting Schiff’s leaks to the FBI.

Just The News reported:

A career intelligence officer who worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for more than a decade repeatedly warned the FBI beginning in 2017 that then-Rep. Adam Schiff had approved leaking classified information to smear then-President Donald Trump over the now-debunked Russiagate scandal, according to bombshell FBI memos that Director Kash Patel has turned over to Congress.

The FBI 302 interview reports obtained by Just the News state the intelligence staffer — a Democrat by party affiliation who described himself as a friend to both Schiff, now a California senator, and former Republican House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes — considered the classified leaking to be “unethical,” “illegal,” and “treasonous,” but was told not to worry about it because Schiff believed he would be spared prosecution under the Constitution’s speech and debate clause.

No publicly-disclosed opinion from the Attorney General or the Solicitor General can be found making that determination as a matter of law.

But officials told Just the News that DOJ officials showed little interest in pursuing Schiff when the allegations were brought to them years ago, citing the very same excuse the lawmaker had offered.

We found it. We declassified it.

Now Congress can see how classified info was leaked to shape political narratives – and decide if our institutions were weaponized against the American people. pic.twitter.com/PCpLFLuPmI

The U.S. Department of Education has opened investigations into five universities for offering scholarships that exclude U.S. citizens and legal residents in favor of undocumented students, including recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

The Washington Post’s editorial board complained about this today, saying that ‘helping undocumented students’ to ‘afford’ higher education ‘isn’t discrimination.’

The Trump Administration is arguing in court that prioritizing illegal aliens over American citizens is discriminatory against American students based on the protected class of ‘national origin.’

The Post utilizes several often-used left-wing memes related to immigrants, namely that these workers will ‘do the jobs Americans won’t do’ when it said: “The American Immigration Council reports that many of them go on to fill essential roles in health care, education and tech — sectors facing urgent workforce shortages.” The Post also uses the ‘diversity is our strength’ meme, when it says, “These immigrants make universities — and the country — richer, stronger and more intellectually vibrant.” The Post also uses the left-wing meme of ‘cost the U.S. government far less than they contribute, financially and otherwise,’ which has been repeatedly disproven.

The median federal student-loan balance held by U.S. citizen borrowers who attended government colleges is roughly $30,000 presently. The average cost of college tuition & fees at public 4-year institutions has risen 141.0% over the last 20 years.

Even in the comments attached to the Washington Post article, their own left-wing readers are not happy with their editorial stance. The Post’s own “AI-generated summary” of the comments characterizes that they “predominantly express strong opposition to universities providing scholarships to undocumented students” and summarize the comments as saying it’s unfair to prioritize non-citizen illegals over American citizens.

Even though the readership demographics of the Washington Post skew heavily left, with 59% identifying as liberal/progressive and only 11% as conservatives, their own readers were upset and angry with the paper’s position supporting illegal aliens over American kids:

State schools are typically heavily subsidized by state governments with tax dollars to provide lower-cost options for residents. The policy goal is to provide high-quality education to citizens who cannot afford it, but left-wing activists in college administrations and in the federal government, have been steering resources to illegal immigrants and their children instead.

The media typically refers to these children of illegals as “Dreamers,” a nickname that comes from the proposed DREAM Act (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors), a never-passed bill that aimed to give certain undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children a path to legal status.

The universities under investigation are:

• University of Michigan
• University of Louisville
• University of Nebraska Omaha
• University of Miami
• Western Michigan University

The investigations follow complaints from the Legal Insurrection Foundation, which argues that such scholarships violate Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by discriminating on the basis of national origin.

At the University of Michigan, the “Dreamer Scholarship” awarded $100,000 in 2023–2024 to undocumented students. The school distributed $855 million in total financial aid during the same year.

Undocumented students are ineligible for federal financial aid and typically rely on state support, institutional aid, and private scholarships. Several states, including Texas and Florida, have recently repealed laws granting in-state tuition to undocumented students.

There are an estimated 528,000 DACA recipients under age 18 at present according to federal data. Estimates of the total number of illegal immigrants in America range from 17 million to 29.5 million, with 7 million entering the country since Joe Biden’s Presidency started.

The Washington Post’s editorial board criticized the investigations, describing them as “absurd” and “cruel,” and argued that undocumented students contribute to the economy and fill roles in sectors facing worker shortages.

By taking heavily subsidized in-state tuition spots, accessing need-based and “Dream” grants, and enrolling without generating the federal reimbursements on which colleges depend, illegals simultaneously crowd out citizen students, shift fixed overhead onto the remaining reimbursable pool, and trigger new capital projects that are financed through higher tuition and fees, so every American on campus ends up paying a hidden surcharge that often runs into thousands of dollars annually.

Part of the media’s messaging on illegal immigration is to constantly claim, without evidence, that illegals are always cost-neutral or ‘pay their share of taxes.’ Yet studies show that illegal aliens are major ‘fiscal drains’ on the country’s public revenues. Estimates are that every illegal costs the country $10,400 per year, significantly depleting funds for K-12 education, hospitals, Medicaid, among other public assistance programs.

The Education Department has not announced when the investigations will conclude.

The Washington Post has an estimated daily circulation of 110,000, and 135,000 for its Sunday edition, and an estimated 2 million total subscribers both digital and online. It is owned by Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, who operates an Amazon PAC that gives equally to both parties. Amazon employees have historically given 85% of their campaign donations to Democrats. The Post endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016, Joe Biden in 2020, and Kamala Harris in 2024, through a signed piece and not through the editorial board.

President Donald Trump has struck a groundbreaking deal with semiconductor giants Nvidia and AMD that will pour millions into America’s coffers, and it’s triggering all the right people.

According to the Financial Times, Nvidia and AMD have agreed to hand over a staggering 15% of their revenues from high-end chip sales to China as part of a special arrangement with the Trump administration. The deal was a condition for granting export licenses for their top-tier chips, Nvidia’s H20 and AMD’s MI308, to the Chinese market.

The move is essentially a “sales tax” on some of America’s largest tech firms for doing business with Beijing, and the money will go straight to the U.S. government.

But while the far-left media is still scrambling to figure out how to spin this as “bad for democracy,” one unlikely voice, Trump-hating billionaire Mark Cuban, just lit up the Democrats for failing to achieve what Trump just did in one stroke.

Cuban, who has spent years trashing Trump, took to X to roast far-left darlings Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Chuck Schumer, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren:

Hey @AOC, @BernieSanders, @SenSchumer, @SenWarren, every Dem should be thanking @potus for doing what the Dems have dreamed of doing, but have NEVER been able to do, creating a sales tax on 2 of the biggest semi companies in the country ! This opens the door for Sales Tax for export licenses on EVERYTHING!

He is going to generate corporate tax revenue that you guys only wish you could pass. You should be thanking him all day, every day for this brilliant move you guys couldn’t ever pull off !

In the future, don’t call it a tax, call it a Commission for America. BOOM!

Hey @AOC , @BernieSanders , @SenSchumer , @SenWarren , every Dem should be thanking @potus for doing what the Dems have dreamed of doing, but have NEVER been able to do, creating a sales tax on 2 of the biggest semi companies in the country ! This opens the door for Sales Tax…

In another post, Cuban wrote:

This is a “billionaire’s tax” structured as a royalty or sales tax on semiconductors from the most valuable company in the world, sold to China.

While it’s scary on a lot of levels to businesses and entrepreneurs, it’s what @aoc, @BernieSanders and @SenWarren should have thought of. They are so intent on income and wealth taxes on “oligarchs”, they have no concept of leverage in business. Trump does.

Potus is more progressive when it comes to taxation than anyone in the progressive wing of the Dems has ever been. The Dems should be celebrating just how progressive it is. The irony.

If Dems celebrated this as they should, republicans would be so confused. lol.

He wants to grab whatever revenue he can from our biggest businesses, which are owned by … wait for it … billionaires. He knows they will pay for something he has, that they need. in order to grow their companies. That’s understanding leverage

He took 15 pct of equity from a company. That is the ULTIMATE wealth tax. He diluted every shareholder, upfront , regardless of their net worth. Lol. A progressive dream !

Everyone knows how I feel about POTUS, but he doesn’t get everything wrong.

Tariffs are bad. They kill small businesses and entrepreneurs. A group he never talks about. He is dead wrong here.

And I disagree on most of the non-business things he does.

But when it comes to tax revenue generation , as I’ve said to many Dems over the last 12 months, if you want to generate revenue from the richest of us, give them incentives to give you money and do the right thing. Particularly for their businesses.

Trump gave nvidia incentives to pay probably 4b and growing per year, know that created 25b or more in high margin revenue.

Will this make up for the explosion of the deficits we face ? Not as it stands now. Not close.

But give him credit for knowing how those CEOs approach problems and opportunities , and using his leverage to generate tax revenues .

This is a “billionaire’s tax” structured as a royalty or sales tax on semiconductors from the most valuable company in the world, sold to China.

While it’s scary on a lot of levels to businesses and entrepreneurs, it’s what @aoc, @BernieSanders and @SenWarren should have… https://t.co/OrqgwLvduW

Translation: Cuban just admitted Trump outflanked the Left at their own game, taxing corporations, while protecting American interests abroad.

The irony is almost too perfect. The Democrats who scream about “corporate greed” and “making the rich pay their fair share” are now watching Trump make it happen in a way they never could, and with their biggest tech allies footing the bill.
