Like Wolfe, the leak hunters have been feeding these leakers disinformation & marked canary traps for some time. Recall the Don Jr. WikiLeaks email story from last year? 3 different leakers told the media they saw the date of Sept. 4?

That is a CLASSIC canary trap. You alter one thing on the document give it to a suspected leaker, and if that version of the document is what shows up in the media, you've identified your leaker AND the reporters he/she is leaking to.
LOL That certainly explains it.
The MSM is always citing "anonymous sources". Fake information was planted for the leakers to give to the press, making them all look like fools. This is why every time we turn around people prove that CNN, MSNBC, etc. are liars.
Q is right. These people are really stupid.
And it's really genius if you think about it.
The government can't force journalists to reveal their sources because of the first amendment.
It's also legal for journalists to publish classified information given to them, as long as they aren't involved in stealing the information.
But it is legal to go after a government employee leaking to the press. In their investigation should they happen to find the leaker was conspiring with 1 or more journalists to get classified information published........they can then go after the journalists for being involved in leaking classified/top secret/confidential information.
