Why do Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell still have security clearances?
American Thinker ^ | 06/14/2021 | Thomas Lifson

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.

Swalwell has been compromised by his “swallow,” an apparent Chinese spy named Fang Fang, or “Christine Fang,” which is an absolute no-no. People get rejected from employment at intelligence or military agencies all the time for lesser stuff seen as compromising. Swalwell, though, is still on the intel board for that, and so is the leaky Schiff.

Unpunished, they will continue leaking like a sieve, and even the Trump-hostile intelligence elements know it.

It would be up to Pelosi, and she is a whore for power, so, no.

Why? Because the vast majority of the “Republicans” in congress are feckless, spineless cucks who “just want to get along” with the enemy.

They get their clearances via their election, unlike normal vetted government employees. That’s how it works.

In other words, their CONSTITUENTS ( Americans ), actually ALLOW this foreign spying on our elected representatives to happen!!

I wonder how this country can survive if our own citizens allow this kind of treachery to go unpunished ....

Well, how else would they keep their Chinese spies informed if they didn’t have security clearance?

Well, that’s the point of the question - Does Congress want to keep Chinese spies informed?

And Feinstein? And why is Adam Schiff anywhere near congress after his lies? Why are the gang of Talib making it through their Jewish hatred?

Because they’re socialists!

Because they are important Democrats, why do you ask? Do you imagine that only patriots should have clearances? How racist can you be!

Nothing really ever happens to leaks. In many cases, even the WH wont find and punish the leaker, when it came from their area.

I live in his district, unfortunately.

He recently won re-election with 72.7% of the vote against a very good Republican candidate, Eric Early, who got only 27.3% of the vote.

And, he'll be re-elected again when the time comes. And he knows it.

Just like Cuomo over in New York knows Dem voters outnumber Rep voters 8-1.

There is also that comment above about Reps. caving, bowing and scraping whenever they can, making excuses to 'get along' - something a Dem never, ever does. That too.

Fang Fang was just doing business with Swallowswell. Nazi the Plastc-faced PSYCHOPATH and Schifty aka Punchable Clown Face #2 are shady too.

I had to volunteer for a Top Secret SF unit to get my TS as I drank beer as a teen with two friends who stole surfboards.
The FBI interview and lie detector test picked up everything. Yes, I knew what they stole. I said NO. I got an ITS by the 5th Group XO to go to MACVSOG in June 1968. It was regular TS after 90 days in combat. Not one of these LGBT types could even get a secret back then, much less not be admin discharged once found out.

Patriots don’t get security clearances, so they have to give them to someone.
