Ric Grenell warns Schiff: "Watch Out Schiff, It's All on Paper Now" (intel briefings set to expose leakers)

DNI's John Ratcliffe's intel briefings, now in writing, will expose leakers and end the weaponization of cherry-picked intel, says former acting DNI Richard Grenell on Newsmax TV.

Grenell singled out House Intel Committee Chair Adam Schiff, D-Calif, as the leading culprit; he was quick to talk about the supposed "problem" of Russia election propaganda to try to damage President Trump...... downplaying the true "crisis" of China's election meddling waged to get China pal Joe Biden in the White House.

"Schiff leaking one-sided information creates a false narrative," Grenell said, saying Schiff is "ignoring the China crisis" for political purposes.

"We all know this and Adam Schiff can't say it," Grenell continued about the "crisis" with China vs. the mere social media propaganda from Russia. "He has to gloss over it, because it's not good for Biden or the Democrats when the Communist Party of China outright wants them to win."

Ratcliffe has announced he would no longer feed classified intelligence to Schiff in a verbal briefing, instead putting it all on paper and creating a paper trail — one that might also help expose the criminal leaks of classified intelligence.

"What Adam Schiff says on CNN and MSNBC is not what people tell us under oath. When a Congressman verbally leaks to a reporter, there's no paper trail. A reporter can say, 'oh, I don't know where we got this' and pretend like it's a credible source."

Grenell cautioned reporters: "Do not take Schiff or his staffers' word for it. Ask to see the documents. You should know now the intel briefing is written, and you should ask, 'let me have the full context, let me have the full writing, because I know it's in writing,'" Grenell said.

Maybe I’m missing it, but this seems silly.

Schiff can still whisper to CNN that he heard in an intel briefing that Trump runs a slave ring. CNN can say, “Show me the briefing” but Schiff can say “I’d rather not” and CNN is just going to run with it anyway. They don’t care about verifying information — isn’t that already clear?

But you're missing the point-------even IF he whispers it, DNI has proof-positive in writing that the tip came from an intel briefing.

Also done: a fake tip is given a leaker to have as evidence to ID the leaker since only the leaker would have the false tip.

I think you’re giving the media too much credit. These people are stupid. Besides, some of the fake news organization bosses have rules that say “you must have documentation of fake news before we publish or go on air with fake news”. It may not catch all of them but I’ll bet it catches some, the dumb ones. And the same leak-tracing principles can be applied to verbal briefings, as long as they are done one-on-one. In other words, unique identifying markers are added to each verbal briefing. At best, the potential leakers could get together and compare notes but even supposing they spot the marker, then what do they do? Which version do they report? Either way, someone will be identified as a leaker.

Schiff: “Ha. I’m not worried. When they delay this past the Dem Inauguration Day I’ll be in my formal attire celebrating at four or five big parties in DC.”

“To update the saying ‘Man proposes, God disposes.’ The AG’s office proposes, we Dems dispose. Right in the dumpster.”

Schiff on their radar.

No clue as to what has been planned;
well aware there is one and only one rule
1. THOU SHALL NOT LEAK.

All eyes are upon Schiff, an actor right
out of the
movie: “The Eye Creatures”. (1965)

He “got his man” a few weeks ago, won’t dare do anything more closer to the election.

And Bilbo Bagpipes hasn’t arrested any Republican friends of Trump lately with which to defend himself.
