Your number one above will not stop the MSM from referring to those implicated as whistle-blowers rather than leakers. Look for those responsible for leaking how we protect our citizens to be touted as Persons of the Year.

The way to get ahead of that is to beat it to death. Talk about it on the talk shows, in interviews, and in speeches. Make sure that the people are crystal clear on the difference, to the point where no one likes to even hear the word whistleblower anymore. As it is right now, few people understand the difference. 'Whistleblowing' and 'leaking' are as different as 'making love' and 'rape'. That point needs to be hammered into the collective understanding long before we catch whoever's behind all this. If we try and explain the difference after he or she is caught, it'll be way too late.

They are not "leakers" they are "subversive leakers"... words matter.

By the current MSM standard Alger Hiss and the Rosenbergs were whhistleblowers.
