they notify the "Gang of 8" - The Speaker of the House, the Minority Leader of the House, the Majority and Minority Leaders of the Senate, and the Chairs/Ranking Members of the House & Senate Intelligence Committees.

They only told Jeffries & Schumer - once it had started and was underway, NOT "48 hours before" (I'm assuming the "before" clock deals with when the mission is expected to be carried out). They didn't bother notifying the (D) Ranking Members of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees at all.
