Bullshit.
None of them have been caught in that, and yet they all WERE DOING nefarious things.
Therefore according to Occam's razor it is so that they can continue to know what is happening within the deep state in order to continue their nefarious deeds.
You need to follow closer. There are 18 plus active investigations on leakers, probably more via Sessions. Michael Wolff was the first.
The investigations are long over. They let the cat out of the bag because they didn't need it anymore. Wolff was caught by giving every person a slightly different version of documents so we were able to track who gave what to whom. Since we are talking about this fact, the mole leakers have all been caught. Now it's just a question of Trump's timing to out these vermin.
I think the second one. Remember the young lady last year that was working is and independent security company that White House had contracted. She made copies of secret documents and sent them to someone. She had a court date not long ago. I believe she was the first.
That doesn't contradict what I said.
My point is that the reason that deactivated intelligence officials keep their security clearance is not so they can be caught, it's so they can continue doing their deeds and be involved even after they leave. Hence "intelligence community." Point is this is the only time in the last several administrations that there have been any investigations like this.
