[I think Zhang Fei wrote a good guess there in his comment #17 in regards to the leaks.]
Keep in mind, Zhang Fei. The leaks came from the "CIA".
So it's not only the media trying to "stick it to" the GOP. Also, the derp state has GOP members as well. Keep in mind which current GOP darling (Lindsey Graham) immediately came out stating that MbS needs to go and we need to cancle the weapons deal.
So the CIA/media is trying to "stick it to" President Trump and his loyal faction, not the GOP in general.
There are two governments in America at the moment. And most of the media works for the wrong one, which this so-called "leak" is evidence of.
