What if I told you a top advisor for Adam Schiff during Russiagate and the first Trump impeachment "burrowed in" to the federal bureaucracy and apparently is still there?😲

If anyone seems likely to oppose the Trump admin from within, it's him.

Meet Lucian Sikorskyj.

According to his verified LinkedIn profile, he serves as an associate administrator for security and hazardous materials safety at the FAA.

President Biden brought him in as a political appointee, but he switched to a "career" job in September.

So what if some FAA safety staffer once worked for Schiff? Why should I care?

It's called "burrowing in." Presidents appoint 3K people for "political" positions, but most of the 2.3M federal workers are in non-political "career" roles.

A recent @ScottWRasmussen poll found 75% of the DC-based feds making $75K+ who voted for Kamala Harris in the last election said they would not follow a lawful Trump order if they considered it bad policy.

The deep state in a nutshell.

So, yes, it matters that Sikorskyji previously worked for Schiff.

In fact, Sikorskyji spent 2.5 years as a senior advisor to Schiff while he chaired the House Intelligence Committee👀

He "played a key role in complex congressional investigations."

What was Schiff up to at this time?🤔

Oh yeah, he was insinuating he had access to secret documents proving Trump was a Russian asset. As head of the Intel Committee, Schiff might have had such access. Only problem? The documents didn't exist.

The House censured Schiff in June 2023 for abusing "positions of extreme trust" by "alleging he had evidence of collusion that ... never existed."

When Russiagate fell apart, Schiff's committee led the charge to impeach Trump over a phone call with Ukraine's president.

Sikorskyji also served on Biden's National Security Council and in the Department of Homeland Security under Alejandro Mayorkas.

He has an impressive resume, but he's definitely a political animal.

A @HouseIntel Committee spox told me the committee (now under @RepRickCrawford) “does share the concerns about federal employees, particularly ones in the Intelligence Community, who cannot separate their politics from their jobs.”

A spox for @HouseIntelDems told me,“Lucian Sikorskyj’s work on the Intelligence Committee focused on the bipartisan oversight of the Intelligence Community, particularly counterterrorism.”

The spox noted Sikorskyji worked over 20 years in both Dem and GOP admins, and said "all members" of the Intel Committee valued his expertise.
