Funny how Senators Schumer, McCaine and Graham, the Deep State, the DOJ, the FBI, and the regular Intelligence Community had no problems with Hillary selling 24% of the US’ uranium reserves to Russia, or her ILLEGAL unsecured server, or Obama communicating with Hillary on that server.

Seems to me that it’s the intelligence operatives that are doing the leaking. Time to purge the swamp.

Criminals in Action. A good many could likely be subject to Ricco charges for following orders under the Clinton/Obama regime.
