MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: nytimes.com/2021/06/10/us/…
1/ "As DOJ investigated who was behind leaks of classified info early in the Trump administration, it took a highly unusual step: Prosecutors subpoenaed Apple for data from the accounts of at least two Dems on the House Intel Committee, aides and family members. One was a minor."
2/ "The records of at least 12 people tied to HPSCI were seized in 2017 and early 2018, including those of Representative Adam Schiff of California, then the panel's top Democrat and now its chairman, according to committee officials and two other people briefed on the inquiry."
3/ "Prosecutors, under the beleaguered attorney general, Jeff Sessions, were hunting for the sources behind news media reports about contacts between Trump associates and Russia. Ultimately, the data and other evidence did not tie the Committee to the leaks."
*Unbelievable*.
*Unbelievable*.
4/ I don't believe for a second that this was a "leak investigation." Trump was using DOJ to investigate his enemies. It's Watergate 2.0.
5/ "An ex-DOJ official who worked on leak investigations says 'In combination with Trump's unmistakable vendetta against Schiff, it raises serious questions about whether the manner in which this was done was influenced by political considerations rather than purely legal ones.'"
