Beginning in 2017, the intel officer who worked on the House Intelligence Committee repeatedly told the FBI that Schiff authorized leaking classified information to destroy Trump during the Russiagate hoax.
The whistleblower said Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell was likely the source of the classified leaks.

Assuming this is true, and I think it is, as I recall Schiff coming out of each closed door meeting of the House Intelligence Meeting and talking to the press, then why isn't he and the others indicted under the Espionage Act?

Oh, please, please....
Schiffty got a pardon for his crimes. What crimes?
Good point.
The right thing to do. The right thing for the good of the country, is to undue what the left has been trying to do since Obama.
Already the main stream media is losing its influence. Fewer people have the these channels on, and more and more people are getting their news from their favorite you tuber.
Then indicting and convicting a few of these people, will make a big impact.
Then finally, muting the democratid party’s influence on a red America.
How is it that the almost every county in the US is red, yet we barely have the identical representation. Now we know.
I love Trump’s Dream Team
These two rats don’t deserve to be in office. Watch for their friends in the media to try and protect them.
Trump has beautiful people around him who know how to communicate. The democrats are ugly, all of them.
No. They won’t. Next question.
I don’t readily disagree with you, but wouldn’t it be delightful if you’re wrong? Just the thought of these people, all of them, going to jail or at least having to put up their own legal defense, tickles my tummy.
Nothing ever happens.
Hopefully, they’ll find something also on Senator Mark Warner!
THAT is the key point to the Article II power to pardon.
“ Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 states the following:
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”
“FOR OFFENCES AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.”
What “offence” (sic) indeed?
Those pardons were null and void upon issuance.
Any first year law student should see that.
probably not.....but I’m sure we will see a VERY STRONGLY worded letter!
This would be great, but alas, “They” will “Wag the Dog” before any of their much more equal useful idiots gets fingered.
Doubtful at best.
Leaking done in 2017 is beyond the statute of limitations... I think
Shifty’s pardon. I would love to know what stooge was using the Biden autopen this day. And at whose direction.
I’m thinking the easy route is Income Tax evasion and money laudering
A long piece, and you have to get down into the weeds, but basically it is Senator Warner on a plate:
Outline #2 – Criminal Conduct by DOJ/FBI During Russiagate
Also, if I don't totally misremember Senator Warner (or possibly one of his gofers) was caught in a scandal during the hearing of one of PDJT's son. That also concerned a leak of classified material.
