“Such leaks have been a problem for many presidents, but Trump is the first who took a proactive approach and set up a sting operation that identified the leakers”
That’s all well and good but until someone goes down it’s all talk. Gotta ACTUALLY get somebody. And if obama is behind ANY of this Trump/Sessions HAS to prosecute him!
Find them, prosecute them, and hang them.
“It’s also illegal to PUBLISH this information, but Trump is too smart to try and prosecute reporters.”
I disagree. This administration should go after the reporters who write stories based on illegally obtained intelligence information. Don’t even worry about who leaked it. Walk in, arrest the reporter, take all his notes, search his house for any information that is classified. Arrest the editor who approved the story. Illegal possession and release of classified information is a big no-no. Don’t even ask who gave you the information. No bargains. Just a trial and jail time. After the 3rd or 4th reporter is doing 10-20 years I suspect the rest will not want to touch classified information from a “leaker”. They can’t cry about censorship. The government practice no prior restraint on the press. All actions have consequences. Illegal possession and release of classified information...JAIL.
Some people are doing LIFE for similar actions.

Have you not read about Tillerson dumping 6 high level State dept employees only a day or so ago/ What about the 3 Muzzie brothers who were fired and who may be prosecuted for accessing without authorization classified doc?
