House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) was called out by the Washington Post<\/em><\/a>\u00a0for claiming last month that his panel\u00a0had “not spoken directly with the whistleblower<\/strong>” – a CIA employee whose second-hand account of a phone conversation between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky sparked\u00a0impeachment proceedings.<\/p>\n

“Have you heard from the whistleblower? Do you want to hear from the whistleblower? What protections could you provide to the whistleblower?” Schiff was asked during a Sept. 17 interview on\u00a0MSNBC<\/em>‘s “Morning Joe.”<\/p>\n

“We have not spoken directly with the whistleblower. We would like to,<\/strong>” replied Schiff, adding “But I am sure the whistleblower has concerns that he has not been advised, as the law requires, by the inspector general or the director of national Intelligence just how he is supposed to communicate with Congress, and so the risk to the whistleblower is retaliation.”<\/p>\n

After it was revealed that\u00a0the whistleblower approached Schiff’s panel – which then directed him to a Democrat attorney,\u00a0<\/strong>the\u00a0Post<\/em>\u00a0gave Schiff\u00a0four Pinocchios\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>for his statement, which they called “Flat-out false.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n
