let's pretend that we are talking about a private sector business. Someone says something incredibly wrong.
Agreed. Except what was said that was "wrong" might have been a crime.
Once the Prez knew who disclosed it he was a witness, obligated to testify, and potentially a co-conspirator.
The MSM would demand..........the Howard Baker question be answered. "What did the Prez know and when did he know it?"
If the President knew it, wouldn't he refer the case to Justice for prosecution and send Armitage home with pay until the investigation was completed?
