Why do Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell still have security clearances?

House speaker Nancy Pelosi has made a big deal about President Trump supposedly spying on his political opponents.  In the most recent case, a slew of leaks to top media organizations over Russia collusion leaks has got her and her sidekick, Rep. Adam Schiff, hopping.

According to the New York Times:

Mr. Schiff called the subpoenas for data on committee members and staff another example of Mr. Trump using the Justice Department as a "cudgel against his political opponents and members of the media.

"It is increasingly apparent that those demands did not fall on deaf ears," Mr. Schiff said in a statement. "The politicization of the department and the attacks on the rule of law are among the most dangerous assaults on our democracy carried out by the former president."

But according to the Washington Free Beacon, it wasn't just Trump who had reason to suspect that Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee were leaking.

... Strzok's FBI text messages show that even investigators scrutinizing Trump suspected that Democrats were behind two separate leaks to reporters.

Strzok wrote on March 17, 2017, of a leak of documents to an unnamed reporter who he said "has great sources on [the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence], especially minority side." Democrats were in the minority of Congress at the time.

Strzok also suggested in a message on March 23, 2017, that Democrats on the Gang of Eight were sources for a CNN story about the Russia probe. CNN reported that same morning that U.S. officials said the FBI had information that Trump associates may have communicated with Russian operatives to coordinate the release of information damaging to the Hillary Clinton campaign.

This, given Strzok's animosity to Trump in his other text messages, suggests that leaking was exactly what was going on.

Trump should have yanked hundreds of clearances the day he walked into the Oval Office.
