Adam Schiff -- who fought the release of the GOP-backed memo and described it as a danger to national security -- made a 2013 appearance on Russian television news station RT calling for transparency in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act system.
Schiff said in 2013 that the FISA court needed to be “much more transparent so that the American people can understand what is being done in their name and in the name of national security so that we can have a more informed debate over the balance between privacy and security.”
He added: “I think this can be accomplished while also maintaining sources and methods and not compromising some of the very real national security concerns at stake.”
