I've got no dog in this fight, and I don't think much of Schiff, but this intentional leaking of information that someone is being criminally investigated is complete BS. There is no minimum threshold of evidence needed for an investigation to commence. Somebody at the IRS, SEC, FBI, DOJ, etc. who doesn't like you can have a criminal investigation opened and then leak it to the press, and bam, your reputation goes down the toilet.
And the investigation remains open forever, and in that way the agency can simply continue to state that they are not permitted to discuss an ongoing investigation. Of course, they're not able to discuss the existence of an ongoing criminal investigation, but it got leaked!! Selective scruples. The Federal Gov't, the world's largest criminal enterprise.
