White House officials fear they may be identified as Mueller report sources
axios ^ | 4/16/2019 | staff

Some of the more than a dozen current and former White House officials who cooperated with special counsel Robert Mueller are worried that his report — expected Thursday — will expose them as the source of damaging information about President Trump, NBC News' Carol E. Lee, Hallie Jackson and Kristen Welker report.

What's happening: "They got asked questions and told the truth and now they’re worried the wrath will follow," one former White House official told NBC.

Some of the officials and their lawyers have tried to find out if witnesses are named (or obvious), but "the Justice Department has refused to elaborate."

Schiff, Pelosi and Schumer et al, will screech about the redactions, but that's just for the benefit of their moonbatty base.

Taking it two steps further they will zoom in so far on minor "perceived" irregularity to the point of pixilation and attempt impeachment. All to hold on to their base, as you mentioned.

They told the ‘truth’. What’s to fear then?

Maybe the article is fake news, but the fear is real.

Look at this comprehensive list:

Well, stupid broads, now we don’t need the REDACTED REPORT TO IDENTIFY THE SNITCHERS, RIGHT.

What a fiasco this whole Mueller,et al are.

Reporters today are like women out for the evening who can’t go to the bathroom alone.

I guess between three of them they manage to have a measurable IQ

If you testify before a grand jury, that’s hardly a “leak”.

There is a difference between “facts” and “opinions.” My guess is there was a lot of “what did you think of that” types of questions asked.

Oh well, loyalty is an important quality to the Donald.

I meant, before they testified and were working with the media to dump damaging info while they were working in the WH

Could be that none of those testifying were the leakers, but we all know there was intentional leaking going on

“They got asked questions and told the truth and now they’re worried the wrath will follow,”

Without knowing who “they” are and “what” questions were asked and what the answers to those questions were..... how can you ass-u-me “they” told the truth????????????????

Nonsensical bullshirt.

They are setting up the narrative that any investigation of liberals for the spying is just retribution. The defense is called going on offense.
