I have a friend that works ‘leak cases”. I was told that pretty much all of the leaks we’re seeing today are done strictly out of ideology. No money is taken nor favors granted. Basically, just blind hatred for anything/anyone on the Right or affiliated with the President.
That is why I call it literal (etymological) conspiracy:
No collusion is needed. Conspiracy means “to breathe together”. They all live in the same fetid, leftist atmosphere. They willingly do what they know people like Obama would want.
It is an excellent recipe for plausible deniability.
