Attorney General Eric Holder on Friday appointed two U.S. Attorneys to head an investigation into a recent series of national security leaks. Holder appointed U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ronald Machen Jr. and U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod Rosenstein to investigate and criminally prosecute “possible unauthorized disclosures of classified information.” “The unauthorized disclosure of classified information can compromise the security of this country and all Americans, and it will not be tolerated,” Holder said in a statement. “The Justice Department takes seriously cases in which government employees and contractors entrusted with classified information are suspected

It’s all smoke and mirrors.

They know where the leaks came from. They made them.

Hmmmm....interesting turn of events. Why do I think that Joe Biden is about to get thrown under the bus? The only reason that Holder would be jumping on this so quickly is if the NYT is making noises that they’re not gonna take the fall for this one so that means the Administration has to sacrifice someone. Then, they’ll act terribly shocked, and the poor putz who was just following orders by feeding this info to the press will be in the cell next to Blago, wondering what in the heck just happened to him!

I agree. What they are trying to determine now, is how to cover it all up.

-—— and the White House has flatly rejected congressional calls for a special counsel to investigate the leaks.-——

A point many are missing.....a special counsel is an independent investigator....with vast power and unlimited access to dig deep...And answers to no one...

Watergate ring a bell ?

These two Holder picks are not special counsel.... More likely two stooges to bury the truth....and to gave Holder political cover
