Adam Schiff Starts a Legal Defense Fundraise As He Senses the (Say It With Me) Walls Are Closing In Plus: Fauci Suppressed Intel That China Created Covid-19
This is illegal fundraising, isn't it?
Adam Schiff has always loved the spotlight, but not like this. The California senator, best known as the face of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax and the architect of the first impeachment circus, is now launching something very different: the "Senator Schiff Legal Defense Fund."
Schiff filed the paperwork with the IRS last week. This move doesn't exactly inspire confidence in his future. You don't create a legal defense fund unless you expect things to get messy. And he knows he's in serious trouble over his alleged mortgage fraud.
According to his camp, this isn't about a real scandal but revenge. A Schiff spokesperson immediately blamed Donald Trump and his supporters for supposedly weaponizing the justice system.
"It's clear that Donald Trump and his MAGA allies will continue weaponizing the justice process to attack Senator Schiff for holding this corrupt administration accountable," the spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "This fund will ensure he can fight back against these baseless smears while continuing to do his job." Translation: Schiff knows the walls are closing in, but he wants his donors to pay the bill.
The problem is that the allegations against Schiff don't look like political fiction. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) referred him to the Justice Department last month. Investigators say Schiff falsified bank documents and property records related to a Potomac, Md., home, securing sweetheart loan terms between 2003 and 2019.
And: Prosecute Fauci.
Senior American intelligence officials concealed classified intelligence that COVID-19 came from a lab from the president and the public, granting Anthony Fauci's inner circle extraordinary influence while silencing their own spy scientists, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found.
Evidence pointing to a lab leak included signals intelligence collected from Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leaders in 2019 between Beijing and Wuhan revealing a major emergency, one former official told the DCNF. An increasingly political deep state concealed it from President Donald Trump during the first two months of the pandemic, deflecting blame from China as political rival Joe Biden sought to lay responsibility for the pandemic squarely at Trump's feet.
Higher-ups continued to dismiss evidence for a lab leak as the fodder for a conspiracy theory and Trump's hardline stance against China, deceiving millions of Americans about a disease that upended their lives and felled loved ones. Spy scientists at four intelligence agencies and four other government officials spoke to the DCNF on condition of anonymity to reveal previously unreported details about censored intelligence under two presidential administrations.
Spy scientists also decoded engineering in the COVID-19 genome -- clues Chinese authorities were powerless to hide, two spy scientists said. But this evidence was conspicuously omitted from public reports released by the intelligence community under then-President Biden, as senior officials instead elevated the analyses of Fauci's inner circle, who argued the virus was assuredly natural. The omission prompted a formal complaint from one agency, one spy scientist said.
Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard told the DCNF she would hold the intelligence community accountable by working with whistleblowers, reviewing classified material, and investigating where taxpayer funds may have helped create the COVID-19 virus.
"It is clear that dissenting views were likely silenced to support the Biden Administration's preferred narrative. Under President Trump's maximum transparency agenda, we're committed to exposing the truth so that we can build back trust in the intelligence community," Gabbard said.
Some officials responsible remain in government service, including at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), a government official told the DCNF.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe, a longtime critic of the politicization of intelligence about the origins of COVID he witnessed as DNI during Trump's first term, will hold individuals accountable, CIA spokesperson Liz Lyons told the DCNF.
...
Fauci was granted a full pardon by President Biden on his last day in office, Jan. 20, 2025.
Jon Myers, a former director of regional intelligence in the Pentagon for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the DCNF that he could say with "100% certainty" that in the fall of 2019 he had seen intelligence about an incident at a lab in Wuhan when reviewing traffic on the Pentagon's secret compartmentalized intelligence machine and had included this information in his "read boards" for commanders.
But that information never reached Trump's Presidential Daily Brief in January or February 2020, a former senior White House national security official told the DCNF.
"Customer #1 was getting nothing related to the origins," he said.
You won't be surprised to learn that the New York Times joined in the effort to smear the scientists trying to find the real origin of covid-19.
In early February 2020, Redfield, a virologist, and Pottinger, a former journalist who had reported on the SARS epidemic in China, were poring over binders of evidence that clearly contradicted the narrative that the lab origin theory was a conspiracy theory, Redfield said. Pottinger tasked the IC with digging into both the natural and lab origin theories.
By late April, New York Times reporters on the intelligence beat prepared a story smearing Pottinger's request as pressure to arrive at a predetermined conclusion, emails show.
Communications officials at the DIA, State Department and ODNI prepared a response to refute the Times' claims, documents show. Then-DNI Ric Grenell said in an April 29, 2020 email that the "IC wide statement" would say "we are down to two options for covid."
But the next day, ODNI released an inaccurate and oddly premature statement that there was "wide scientific consensus" the virus could not have been "manmade or genetically modified."
There was no input from Pottinger's group at the NSC, rattling some in the White House, one official said.
...
The same day ODNI released its false statement, the Times published its story about Pottinger. It cast him as "conclusion shopping" akin to the runup to the Iraq War. The Times also cited Fauci's "Proximal Origin" paper as evidence of a natural origin. The Times had reported earlier that month that the CIA's experts had not found any evidence of a lab accident.
ODNI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (created by Bush's stupid post-9/11 reorganization) was of course headed by James "that's our story and we're sticking to it"/"There is no 'I' in 'Intelligence'" Clapper at this time.
Clapper must have filled ODNI with Obamaite traitors, because Tulsi Gabbard just announced she is clearing house:

@nicksortor
🚨 BREAKING: Tulsi Gabbard is set to announce she is striking nearly **50%** of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, saving taxpayers almost $700 MILLION per year
Tulsi is taking a HACKSAW to the deep state!
@TulsiGabbard says "ODNI 2.0" will AGGRESSIVELY refocus on its national security mission, call this "the start of a new era focused on serving our country, fulfilling our core national security mission with excellence, always grounded in the U.S. Constitution, and ensuring the safety, security, and freedom of the American people."
Fox says she'll cut 40% of ODNI.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced plans Wednesday to cut her agency's workforce by up to 40% in the coming weeks -- and eliminate several offices that "politicized" the flow of critical information.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence had been staffed by more than 1,800 employees when Gabbard was sworn in but is expected to retain just 1,300, while at least three offices deemed redundant will be shut down, according to senior officials.
Not all of that reduction in force will come from firings, with many employees shifted to other executive branch agencies.
The "core functions" of those offices -- Foreign Malign Influence Center (FMIC), National Counterproliferation and Biosecurity Center and the Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center -- will be taken up either by ODNI's Mission Integration office or the National Intelligence Council.
The latter comprises the most senior intelligence analysts, who help oversee more than a dozen agencies.
ODNI officials claimed in a briefing with reporters that the FMIC had eroded civil liberties and damaged Americans' trust, particularly during the Biden administration -- and even aided big tech platforms in moving to censor speech like The Post's bombshell story on former first son Hunter Biden in October 2020.
One official compared the office to the State Department's Global Engagement Center, which Secretary Marco Rubio closed down in April following similar accusations of suppressing free speech.
The other two offices focused on monitoring threats involving weapons of mass destruction and cyberattacks -- both of which are handled by other existing executive branch agencies.
And about those pardons: Biden's own DOJ raised flags about "his" pardons, noting that they were overbroad, non-specific, and may not hold up in court.
An internal email that Associate Deputy Attorney General Bradley Weinsheimer sent on Jan. 18, 2025, expressed alarm over the scope and vagueness of the mass pardons. He warned that the language in one of the warrants was "highly problematic" because it lacked clarity and may have unintentionally allowed dangerous criminals to walk free. He also stated flatly that the DOJ, the very agency tasked with reviewing clemency applications, had been cut out of the loop entirely.
That's not how the system is supposed to work.
Presidents have the constitutional power to issue pardons, but history shows there's usually a vetting process to prevent abuses and to protect public safety. Biden's team threw that out the window.
Weinsheimer specifically cautioned that the blanket wording could make some of the commutations ineffective, or worse, extend clemency to violent crimes that weren't supposed to fall under Biden's stated standards. The White House, meanwhile, ignored victims' families who pleaded against releasing certain offenders. Instead, they shoved through three massive autopen-signed warrants covering thousands of cases without so much as a second thought.
And they didn't even discuss the fact that they weren't even signed or authorized by the "president."
