i m suspiciousbout their claim of mortal jeopardy for the informant whose name they leaked. these are arguments why aren t they investigating who leaked it? these are arguments you ve used before. people protect ci s all the time. i didn t leak it. i m not saying you leaked it. i don t even know who the guy is. the only people who could have leaked it are the fbi, the department of justice. not mueller. i don t know if he knows again, who leaked the information is one thing. lucky for you, the media is providing that protection. many of us know the identity. we re not putting it out there in deference to the person s protection. but that s not the issue. no, no. no, it is the issue. it s an issue as to what s going on in the top levels of the justice department. but you had gowdy and nunes look at the stuff. and they said gowdy and nunes is not somebody s lawyer. i don t know the last time they practiced law. i like both of them.
