Why do they keep referring to these as LEAKS? The purposeful distribution of our classified information was not leaked, it was planned. There must be a better word to start using and get the media to use that better describes what has been done on purpose by this administration. A word that will actually fit the act. We know it is treason, but that does not describe what they did, it judges what they did. And it is treasonous. So what can we call these carefully distributed bits of information?

Did Johnathon Pollard "Leak"?

Did the Walker family "Leak"?

Did Alger Hiss "Leak"?

I guess, to the press, it is a "Leak" if you only get paid in campaign contributions.

I agree. To call it a "leak" makes it sound like some unintentional slip up. What it really is is INTENTIONAL exposure of top secret information that jeopardizes national security. It isn't a leak, it's turning the faucet on full bore - on purpose! Treasonous!

Per the American Heritage Dictionary, Treason is the correct term.

Definition of Treason (emphasis mine): Violation of allegiance toward one's country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies. A betrayal of trust or confidence.
