Suspected Congressional Leakers Were Secretly Being Investigated by the DOJ All Along
epoch times ^ | 6/22/2021 | BRIAN CATES

Two prominent Democrat politicians who sit on the House Intelligence Committee have alerted the news media that they were informed by the Apple corporation back on May 5 that their phone records had been targeted by a subpoena issued by a grand jury as part of a federal investigation into criminal leaking of classified material.

Apple said in a released statement that a non-disclosure order from a federal judge prevented them for more than three years from alerting any of the affected phone and email accounts that their records had been accessed by the federal grand jury.

Both Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) stated in media interviews how shocked they were to discover that that federal prosecutors would even think of allowing a grand jury to subpoena their private phone data. Both men professed outrage at the invasion of their privacy, and congressional Democrats are now angrily calling for former Attorney Generals Jeff Sessions and William Barr to be brought in to answer questions, along with former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

The validity of both the subpoenas and the evidence upon which they were based are loudly being called into question, something that has already led to Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz to review the matter, to ensure that all proper steps and regulations were followed while these congressmen, their staff, several family members, and media reporters were spied on by this federal grand jury.

If you think anyone is going to be arrested over this you’re delusional.

I’ll make you a small wager. If anyone working for these Dems is arrested or even indicted in the next 90 days I’ll donate $100 to FR.

If an actual Congressperson or Senator is arrested or indicted in the next 90 I’ll make it $500.

However, if in 90 days no such arrests happen, you will make the same donation.

Will you take that bet?

Timing is everything?

9-11.000 - Grand Jury

9-11.155 - Notification to Targets when Target Status Ends
The United States Attorney has the discretion to notify an individual, who has been the target of a grand jury investigation, that the individual is no longer considered to be a target by the United States Attorney's Office. Such a notification should be provided only by the United States Attorney having cognizance over the grand jury investigation.

“they were informed by the Apple corporation back on May 5 that their phone records had been targeted by a subpoena issued by a grand jury as part of a federal investigation into criminal leaking of classified material”

THAT’S a felony.

Thanks for spotting the error.

Not that it really matters because he won’t accept the terms.

#7. Retitling this photo to “Swallowswell Bang Bangs Fang Fang”.

Now it is time that the US Govt goes “Bang, Bang” on Swallwell at some wall.

and the Dems let this traitorous fool keep his seat on the House Intelligence Committee? Oh wait! It is headed by the absolutely psychopathic Rep. Adam Schiff who should have been shot for treason and wasting millions of badly needed taxpayers money re his “Russian Collusion” disinformation campaign. And this traitor is still there too.

To be a Democrat Party leader/powerhouse is to be a “traitor”, PERIOD!

I’d say the investigation was justified.

Hey lj, hope all is well on your side ;)

All I can do is sit back and wait to see if anything happens. Seems everything everywhere is shooting all over the place with unknown results (not always good), but I still have my fingers crossed. :P

You could have just said “no”.

Qballs will never shut up. They will also never put up, as you have so ably demonstrated.
