Trump Threatens Reciprocal Leak Probe If Dems Launch More Witch-Hunts

"If the Democrats think they are going to waste Taxpayer Money investigating us at the House level," Trump said, "Then we will likewise be forced to consider investigating them for all of the leaks of Classified Information, and much else, at the Senate level."

Last December, President Trump's son, Don Jr. called on the House intelligence Committee to investigate information that was leaked from his closed interview the week before.

"This committee should determine whether any member or staff member violated the rules by leaking information to the media concerning the interview or by purposely providing inaccurate information which led to significant misreporting," said Trump Jr.'s attorney, Alan Futerfas.

His letter charges that members of the House committee "Began disseminating wildly inaccurate information" to reporters that formed the basis of an erroneous CNN report on an email that Mr. Trump and other members of the Trump campaign received in September 2016.

The CNN report relied on two unnamed sources who described an email purporting to show that Mr. Trump and other campaign officials had received advance notice about a cache of hacked Democratic documents that were about to be posted by WikiLeaks, the anti-secrecy group.

Schiff insisted in March that there was "More than circumstantial evidence" connecting Trump to Russia, however despite the best efforts of the US-UK-Australian intelligence community and the DOJ/FBI's multi-year counterintelligence "Sting" and now probe, no such evidence has emerged.

In September, Waters renewed her calls to impeach Trump - and told a crowed of constituents at a rally that she would "Get" Vice President Mike Pence once Trump was gone.
