Since election day, the Trump administration has been hit with an unprecedented number of intelligence leaks as classified information seems to be flowing quite freely from Obama holdovers occupying various government agencies and members of the intelligence community directly to various mainstream media outlets.  At this point, one has to wonder why the Washington Post and the New York Times shouldn't just have an office setup inside the NSA with server access and the highest security clearance...taxpayers might actually some money if we didn't have to pay for our spies to sneak around Washington passing info to journalists.

But, some hope was offered last week by AG Jeff Sessions and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats who, after months of doing basically nothing, finally announced a plan to crackdown on leakers.  Meanwhile, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein took to the Sunday talk show circuit this past weekend for some more 'tough talk' saying the DOJ will prosecute any "case that warrants prosecution no matter what their position is."

"We're after the leakers. We're not after
journalists we're after people who are committing crimes.  We're going to devote the resources we need to identify who is responsible for those leaks and who has violated the law and hold them accountable." 

"If we identify anybody, no matter what their position is, if they violated the law and that case warrants prosecution, we'll prosecute it."
