Welcome to the Planet Earth.
Do you really expect Obama's people to rat him out in public?
Did you really expect "Deep Throat" to rat out Nixon in public?
Do you really expect informants to rat out their Mafia bosses in public on the Internet using their real names?
What planet are you from?
On the Planet Earth, if the National Enquirer says anything about anybody, it does not mean squat.
On the Planet Earth, if a major newspaper says something attributed to an unnamed source in the Administration of the Chief Executive of the most powerful country in the planet, that is Standard Operating Procedure on a planet where the people might be dumb but not utterly stupid.
