If it was the piece of info about the guy being a mule. I can understand why they didn’t want it released until they nabbed the real trigger man.
It is hardly an inside deeply held secret that this is a principal investigative technique used around the world. Why anyone here would justify the same deep stater's leaking to the newspapers is beyond me. I am flabbergasted by what I read here, just utterly astounded, since Russiagate is not yet in its grave.
