"Stealing people who work at White House"

Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) offered the remarks amid a deepening feud with President Trump, who earlier in the day tweeted that Schiff was "stealing people who work at the White House" to work on his "witch hunt."

"We have a long tradition of hiring out of the intelligence community, the National Security Council (NSC)," Schiff said. "And if the president is worried about our hiring any former administration people, maybe he should work on being a better employer."

A congressional source told The Hill that the committee has hired Abigail Grace, a former NSC staffer.

[...]

Grace served as a member of the NSC staff from 2016-2018, which spans across both the Obama and Trump administrations.

[...]

It is not uncommon for career government workers to move back and forth between administrative and congressional jobs, though it is less common for that to happen between a Republican administration and a Democratic Congress. But the shift in the control of Congress did cause many new jobs to suddenly become open, given the new Democratic majority.

[...]

Schiff and Trump have been at odds all week.

Oh, it's been a lot longer than that.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
