Schiff threatens that the Intelligence Agencies may be concerned with what they share with Congress. Think about that. When did the Intel Agencies get more power than their Congressional oversight? The Congressional Intel oversight committee is supposed to "Oversee" the Intel agencies to protect the American people. The Agencies do don't get to choose what they share.
