Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, said on Thursday that the White House's announcement of materials relevant to his panel's investigation raises "profound questions" about how and why that information was made available, and to whom.

"I was informed in a letter from White House counsel that the National Security Council staff found these materials in the ordinary course of business," Schiff told reporters at a press briefing. "Now, that timing concerns me."

He questioned why the materials came to the White House by way of Nunes rather than by a more direct route.

"If that was designed to hide the origin of the materials, that raises profound questions about just what the White House is doing," Schiff said.

"If, in-fact, the National Security Council staff that discovered these materials, reportedly in the ordinary course of business, are the same national security staff that provided them to the chairman to be provided to the president, it raises the profound question why they were not directly provided to the White House by the national security staff, and instead were provided in a circuitous route involving the chairman,"

If, in fact, it was info White House staffers found in the ordinary course of their work, why all the “cloak and dagger stuff” with Nunes, instead of taking the information straight to Trump, Schiff questioned. The circuitous route might have been “designed to hide the origins of the information,” he suggested, which “raises profound questions about what the White House is doing.”

“Why all the subterfuge?” he asked.

in the actual press briefing he must have used the word circuitous a dozen times.. redirect, reinforce, and that is all the liberals remember,.. circuitous route. :roll:
