How are these three 'White House Leakers?" They all lost their jobs on January 20th. As private citizens, they were instantly free to say anything they want to anyone they want (as long as it isn't classified).
Just way to odd. 1 set of sources say that Nunes acted on his own another says the dems knew.
from the article above
"The spy agency subpoenas were not mentioned in a bipartisan announcement on Wednesday that the panel approved subpoenas for President Donald Trump's former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, in connection with the Russia probe."

And even freer to say what they will in classified closed committee sessions. I expect there will be many of those; its becoming apparent that the Russians began their hacking long before the Obama administration ended.
The investigators will want to know as much as they can from beginning to end. There will be lots of stuff that will never be made public, too- especially concerning counter-measures and related material.
Cyber war is like conventional war; it's never good to let the enemy know what you know or don't. Hacking is just a new form of disinformation and espionage, and those two items are always a 3-D game of cat and mouse.
House Intelligence Committee sends subpoenas to intel agencies
Three of the nation’s intelligence agencies received subpoenas Wednesday afternoon issued by the House Intelligence Committee, Fox News has confirmed, with each of the three demands for documents explicitly naming three top officials of the Obama administration: Susan Rice, who served as President Obama’s White House national security adviser; former CIA Director John Brennan; and former U.N. ambassador Samantha Power.
The inclusion of Power’s name on the subpoenas marks the first appearance of the former U.N. ambassador in the controversy surrounding the Obama administration’s use of unmasking.
Capitol Hill sources told Fox News they are devoting increasing scrutiny to Power – a former historian and winner of the Pulitzer Prize who worked as a foreign policy adviser in the Senate office of Barack Obama before joining his administration – because they have come to see her role in the unmasking as larger than previously known, and eclipsing those of the other former officials named.
I edited the title of the thread my apologies whole heartily. I worded it wrong
Agencies subpoenaed for White House leakers and they are from the Obama camp
The title of this thread is misleading. Those three people were no where near the Trump's WH after Trump was sworn in.
Some news agencies are reporting that Nunes issued these three subpeanos separately from the comittee without consulting the democrats.....ie Nunes is trying to obstruct the investigation still.
A political feud erupted on Wednesday over the U.S. House Intelligence Committee's probe of suspected Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, with charges that the panel's Republican chairman subpoenaed the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency without telling Democratic members.
Committee aides complained that the chairman, Representative Devin Nunes, who publicly recused himself from leading the Russia probe in April following a secret visit he paid to White House officials, failed to consult Democrats on the subpoenas.
Just way to odd. 1 set of sources say that Nunes acted on his own another says the dems knew.

From the story - "Committee aides complained"
Anonymous committee aides naturally. But aides always complain about something, who cares? What did Schiff say, did Reuters catch that? If not, then Reuters is just going for a clickbait headline.
There is something I have been thinking about. Remember when the White House was a happy place and a home to a family that loved one another ? There was none of this current turmoil and chaos, just business being conducted and people who enjoyed working there. Today, it is like a Hell hole in there, and getting worse all the time.
These are the times I prefer to remember when I think of our White House and its' inhabitants:
