@layman,
Isn't it interesting that it probably was someone
in the Trump White House with access to classified information who decided that it was worth the risk to pass this on to the press?
Of course an Attorney General with slightly authoritarian leaning would react to that by cracking down on the press, and of course the authoritarian-minded Trump fanboy segment would applaud that.
I guess the whole "the real problem is the leakers" slogan has been replaced after Trump declared "No WH chaos!"
