Without writing a long treatise on the subject....I've heard Obama's White House operatives are trying to smoke out government employee leakers who have or had major or minor "scandal" stories to tell....and are doing so in a raging, retributive way so they can fire them or punish them in some way.
I believe these leakers, who are good and brave people, feel safer from discovery, harm and revenge by giving their revelations to an English-speaking media across the sea, or to its reporters stationed in DC.
I believe the British media operatives will protect the leakers more than will corrupt American journalistas.....while at the same time, the Brit media operatives are also safer from Obama's wrath and Holder's subpoenas if investigations, law suits or indictments of some kind occur.
I know if I were a leaker of damning news concerning the Obama administration, I'd feel a heck of a lot more secure spilling the beans to a foreign-based, (even a left-wing) publisher, editor or reporter than anyone at the NY or LA Slimes.
The "left-wing" media, we must remember, is turning on Obama in a big way, also. It also loves scooping the American media. I also believe the British media journalists will protect their sources more than the left-wing media here in this country.

Where are the Benghazi leakers?
