Classified leaks came from White House

Not this administration. I just don't believe it.


http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012...m-white-house/

The President not at fault though:

Quote:
The California lawmaker said she was certain that President Barack Obama, who receives a daily intelligence briefing, isn't disclosing secret information, but she was uncertain about others at the White House. "I don't believe for a moment that he goes out and talks about it," she said.

Nice to see some folks in the Senate looking at the problem for what it is, and not beat the party drum. Good on ya Sen. Feinstein.

Power Players and Washington folks

There's a lot of power players - at least they think they are - in Washington and they like to be seen as much. So they "off the record" far too much stuff to the MSM.

Add in the agenda folks and Washington leaks like a strainer.

Leaks are not done by only one party either. It comes from both sides.

Leaks ongoing from Whitehouse

Business as usual.

Quote:
The chairman of the powerful House Intelligence Committee told Fox News that security leaks out of the Obama administration have not stopped despite an internal probe, and that President Obama has not done enough to turn off the spigot.

Without providing specifics about the new leaks, Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., said the damaging release of sensitive information continues.
Quote:
“We know that sources have self selected out of cooperation around the world,” Rogers explained. “We know that operations have had to change. We know that operations have had to shut down.”
Quote:
“It is very clear that somebody who had access to the White House situation room, had very senior covert action classified material was responsible for some of these leaks," he said. "That is not a big group of people."
