Fucking Schiff

Pg 281 of Durham Report

Following the meeting in the Senate space, Reed Staffer-2 informed University-!

Researcher-3 and University-I Researcher-2 that some other people were interested in

speaking with them. University-I Researcher-3 and University-I Researcher-2 agreed to

meet with these other people, who turned out to be HPSCI staffers, but the meeting needed to be quick due to University-I Researcher-3 's schedule. Reed Staffer-2 then brought them into the secure space of the HPSCI. 1623 Before the meeting, University-I Researcher-3 told Reed Staffer-2 that University-I Researcher-2 did not possess a security clearance, to which Reed Staffer-2 stated that the briefing would be unclassified. 1624

After arriving in the HPSCI secure conference room, Reed Staffer-2 introduced

University-I Researcher-3 and University-I Researcher-2 to several HPSCI staffers. During the meeting, University-! Researcher-3 and University-I Researcher-2 began to provide a similar presentation to that which they had given to the Senate staffers. Soon after the start of the presentation, however, the Committee staffers cut University-I Researcher-3 off and showed him and University- I Researcher-2 a news article about Trump, Russia, and Alfa

Bank that University-I Researcher-3 had not seen previously. 1625 The staffers asked

University-I Researcher-3 to read the article and said they wanted University-1 's help with the matter, and Reed Staffer-2 said University-I Researcher-3 "… could make it easier." 1626

University-I Researcher-3 said he responded by saying that it would be inappropriate for a public university to do that, and he suggested they contact DARPA.

University-I Researcher-3 told investigators that Reed Staffer-2 then said, "We are now in charge," and one of the HPSCI staffers said that their boss (Congressman Adam Schiff)

would soon take over leadership of HPSCI. 1627 University-I Researcher-3 took the

comment as a mild threat. University-I Researcher-3 said he then "dragged" University-I Researcher-2 out of the meeting. University-I Researcher-2 similarly recalled that University- I Researcher-3 had quickly ended the meeting. 1628 University-! Researcher-3 told investigators that he told University-! Researcher-2, "Don't touch this with a ten foot pole, stay away from this."
