Schiff Panics: Accuses Trump of Cover-up With Declassification of Campaign Spying Docs
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, attacked President Trump Thursday night as being “un-American” after Trump announced he was authorizing Attorney General William Barr to declassify and release documents related to Obama administration and Deep State spying on Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
Schiff accused Trump and Barr of conspiring to “weaponize law enforcement and classified information against their political enemies”, which are the very things done to Trump by the Obama administration and the Deep State that Barr has been tasked by Trump to investigate.
Schiff posted to Twitter: “While Trump stonewalls the public from learning the truth about his obstruction of justice, Trump and Barr conspire to weaponize law enforcement and classified information against their political enemies. The coverup has entered a new and dangerous phase. This is un-American.”

The coverup has entered a new and dangerous phase.
This is un-American.
