Are media ignoring Obama's response to Russia?

The Trump administration is facing an "alarming" and "unprecedented" cascade of media leaks that pose a potential danger to national security, according to a Senate report released Thursday.

The Republican-authored report, which estimated the administration has dealt with roughly one leak per day, was sent to Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The authors urged law enforcement officials to step up their investigation of leaks exposing potentially sensitive information.

I think the Progressive One World Government types, mostly Democrats but also including some Republicans, are so upset about losing control of this Republic's course for 4 and maybe 8 years they are willing to destroy it.

Where the F is Jeff Sessions? Time to prosecute leakers, lock them up and throw away the key.

How long will it take for AG Sessions to prosecute those who are engaging in these seditious acts? We are losing confidence in his ability to do the job.

Sessions is just another weak, empty-suit politician collecting a paycheck.

If he were doing his job, dozens of these people would have been arrested and IN JAIL.

He’s too busy on waging war with the states that have voted medical marijuana in.

Agreed. If there aren’t a series of canary traps currently in play to expose the leakers, then the guy is incompetent.

Indeed. Putting Hillary Clinton in jail would be so easy I could do it.

Trump is good on foreign and domestic policy, but he bites the big one when it comes to justice. It’s like he doesn’t care...

They should start with His Comeyness, but Mueller will never allow that to happen.

Why are they called “media leaks”? That’s a complete misnomer. They are state secrets and are marked so and are entrusted to people who are trained and trained heavily as to how and how not to handle them. And the mishandling of them is a deadly serious crime with no wiggle room and with serious penalties.

This “watering down” of meaning is extremely destructive and is so pervasive. From men peeing in ladies’ rooms or wrestling on their wrestling teams; to the glorification of cop-killing; these are all efforts to subvert society and societys norms. When HRC is unprosecuted nor even investigated yet spurious rumors about DJT are relentlessly repeated and now investigated at massive taxpayer expense, this is just deluxe suicide. And when this happens at the top and from the top, it is a paradigm that ripples out from its point of origination. When we do not enforce immigration laws, when we do not prosecute Hillary Clinton for her absolutely gross mishandling of classified info, we are deliberately installing decay and rot at the core of our system.

These are mostly civil service types Obama put in.

Many are from employees of civilian DOD contractors.

If you can’t find them you can’t prosecute them. Obama made this possible by allowing top secret data controlled by NSA to be shared by FBI, DEA and CIA and ending up with 16 total agencies knowing that leakers would be almost impossible to find.
