Why Would Schiff and House Democrats Vote Against Transparency?

Why Would Schiff and House Democrats Vote Against Transparency?
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and the Democrats Really Doesn't Want The Public To Know What Obama Did With That Hillary Paid For Dossier.
On Thursday, the House Intelligence Committee quietly voted to make available to fellow House members “a memo documenting abuse of the FISA program,” reports Fox News’ Chad Pergram. With 435 House members, the likelihood of details from the memo leaking are high. And so are the stakes.

Fox is told that while the Intel Cmte voted in favor of the Simpson transcript, Democrats blocked the release of other documents. The committee has also voted on a motion by Rep. Pete King (R-NY) to make available to all House members a memo documenting abuse of the FISA program.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) who has outed a few weeks ago as the CNN #1 leaker, curiously voted against the motion after reviewing the memo last week. Why would a Congressman who is always preaching about transparency and President Trump, Republican cover-ups suddenly vote against a bill that would make what Congress is doing transparent?
Here's Why.
Schiff doesn't want the public to see what the Obama Department of Justice was doing with that Hillary / FBI Paid for 'Trump Dossier.'
 

Motion was approved on party-line vote. Info in report is classified, so report will be available for House members to read in secure room. 2/3

Report contains answer to question of whether FBI/DOJ used Trump dossier to secure FISA warrant to spy on Americans, plus other issues. Now, whole House can know. Public still in dark. 3/3

Because the “Report contains answer to question of whether FBI/DOJ used Trump dossier to secure FISA warrant to spy on Americans, plus other issues. Now, whole House can know.”

Upon learning of Pergram’s report, Sean Davis, co-founder of The Federalist, tweeted this.

Blocking documents is a super weird thing to do if, as Democrats assert, all they want is transparency. What are they trying to hide? https://t.co/K8cXQt5sKl

Schiff and the rest of the House Intel Democrats saw the DOJ/FBI/FISA docs on the dossier over a week ago. The lack of any leaks plus their votes today to block release of that info suggest the documents are catastrophically bad for Dems.
