Adam Schiff thought his past was buried for good.
But a bombshell FBI memo is threatening to unravel everything.
And Jim Jordan gave Fox News one reason to believe the Schiff whistleblower that exposed their entire game plan.
The whistleblower accusations that have Adam Schiff scrambling
A stunning FBI memo from 2017 has emerged showing that a whistleblower accused then-Congressman Adam Schiff of approving leaks of classified information specifically to target President Donald Trump.
The timing couldn’t be more damaging for Schiff, who built his entire political career on portraying himself as a defender of national security and proper intelligence procedures.
Now he faces allegations that he was doing the exact opposite – weaponizing classified information for partisan political attacks against a sitting President.
Republican Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan appeared on Fox News to discuss these explosive allegations, and what he said should have Democrats worried.
Jordan explains why the whistleblower has credibility
During his appearance on The Ingraham Angle, Jordan made it clear he wants to hear from this whistleblower directly.
"I hope the whistleblower will come forward and talk to our staff. We’ve dealt with whistleblowers several, you know, dozens over the last several years. I hope they’ll come forward, and we can talk to him," Jordan stated.¹
But Jordan didn’t stop there.
He provided the key reason why he believes this whistleblower is telling the truth about Schiff’s alleged misconduct.
"But what I do know is whether this guy’s credible or not, it seems to me he is, and the main reason I believe he’s probably credible is this is their pattern. They did it all along," Jordan explained.¹
That simple statement cuts to the heart of why these allegations ring true – they fit a well-established pattern of Democrat behavior during the Trump years.
The pattern that proves everything
Jordan pointed to documents declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, which he said show that intelligence officials altered an assessment for political purposes.
According to the article, Gabbard released declassified files alleging former President Barack Obama and his national security team fabricated and politicized intelligence after President Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election.
"They were leaking information to friendly news outlets to further this false narrative that somehow President Trump was working with the Russians and the election was compromised. It’s all baloney," Jordan continued.¹
The Congressman methodically laid out how this pattern of behavior was exposed through multiple investigations.
"We’ve had countless investigations, the Durham Report, the Mueller Report, all these things that said that was garbage," Jordan noted.¹
"And then, of course, we had the information that Tulsi just released, ODNI Director Gabbard just released three weeks ago, that showed what they were doing, where they changed the intelligence community assessment," he added.¹
This creates a devastating timeline of coordinated deception that spans years.
They always accuse others of what they’re doing
Jordan then connected the dots to show how Democrats consistently project their own misconduct onto their political opponents.
He reminded viewers what happened to former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, who was trying to expose these very same tactics.
"One other thing that I do think, well, I was just going to say, one other thing that I think is critically important is, remember what they did to Chairman Nunes. They accused him of doing this when he did it," Jordan said.¹
"They accused him of the very thing that they did, according to this whistleblower, typical left operation. Always accuse us of what they’re actually doing. All that. Devin was driven by it all along," Jordan continued.¹
This reveals the Left’s standard playbook – attack your opponents for the crimes you’re committing yourself.
Nunes was vilified in the media and faced ethics investigations for trying to expose the very intelligence community corruption that these documents now prove was real.
Schiff’s office goes into damage control mode
Predictably, Schiff’s office rejected the allegations completely.
They dismissed the claims as "false and defamatory" and tried to discredit the source by claiming the allegations stem from "a fired former staffer."²
Schiff’s office can dismiss the allegations all they want, but they’re dodging the real issue here.
If this whistleblower was just making things up, why did the FBI bother putting it in an official memo?
That’s not how federal investigations work – agents don’t waste time documenting random complaints that have zero substance.
Jordan’s pattern analysis cuts right through their spin operation.
Look, we’ve watched Democrats pull this exact move for years now – someone exposes their misconduct, they immediately cry "lies," then spend all their time attacking whoever brought the information forward.
It worked during the Russia hoax. They tried it with the laptop story. Now they’re running the same play with this whistleblower.
Here’s what’s really at stake
The Schiff situation isn’t just about one power-hungry politician who may have broken the rules.
This goes straight to the heart of how the intelligence apparatus got turned into a political weapon against Trump right after he won in 2016.
The timeline is clear: Obama’s team began politicizing intelligence assessments after Trump’s victory, leaks of classified information targeted the new President, and anyone who tried to expose this corruption was attacked and discredited.
Jordan’s analysis shows why this whistleblower’s allegations have credibility – they fit perfectly into a documented pattern of abuse that we now know occurred.
The fact that Tulsi Gabbard’s recent document releases corroborate this pattern of intelligence manipulation makes the current allegations against Schiff even more serious.
If these allegations are proven true, it would show that the corruption went even deeper than previously known.
It would mean that members of Congress were actively participating in the effort to use classified information as a political weapon.
The American people deserve to know the full extent of how their government was weaponized for partisan political purposes.
Jordan is right to call for this whistleblower to come forward and tell their story.
The pattern of behavior is already established – now it’s time to fill in all the details.
