A former member of the House says that Republicans should go after the security clearance of Adam Schiff. Chaffetz says that Schiff is the most discredited person coming out of the Mueller probe. He still insists there is evidence of collusion, but of course, he refuses to say what it is.
He is also known as a prolific leaker and therefore should not have access to classified information.
Chaffetz said:
“I think he should lose his security clearance and I don’t think he should be on the House intelligence committee. I wish the Republicans would gather in force and demand that change. Nancy Pelosi knows better. It is a privilege to sit on this committee but he’s used the guise of ‘hey, I see classified information and nobody else does and I’m telling you I’ve seen it first-hand.’ He’s the only person on the planet because he’s making it up and he shouldn’t have a security clearance if you’re going to act like that.”
“[Trump’s] had to sit back for the last two years, and think about it. All the Democrats tried to do is say ‘oh, he was going to take out Mueller. He was going to do this, he was going to do that.’ He didn’t do anything. He waived privilege, he gave them tons of documents, access to all the emails,” Chaffetz said earlier in the interview.
“Donald Trump Jr. was in there for hours and hours testifying. I don’t know that the president could have done any more for openness and transparency through this investigation. And it turned out exactly the way he said. He’s in the clear. But now there has to be a review of how this whole fiasco started.”
