Have you not all heard of insider threats spending their entire lives working their way into positions of power before suddenly being caught? Because it's a good thing countries don't do that tactic anymore...

Spoiler alert: spying is obviously a thing, still, and countries will do whatever it takes to cover it up unless the person is caught. And then everything happens behind the scenes to get that person back.

Nope, none of those things. (well, maybe brave because that takes balls, but on the whole his method of leaking was moronic). I have been stating that his leaks check out and he is pulling punches. You're the one implying the information he is leaking is untrue, which is what my question is about....what is the "media" blindly reporting that doesn't check out?

So my point remains the same.
