When Margaret Warner asked John Brennan about the leak witch hunt today, he said, in part,
First of all, there are investigations underway, so we have to be mindful of that and respectful of that investigative process.
Secondly, the President has made it very clear that any leak of classified national security information is something that should be rigorously pursued.
Let’s see. Dodging the question by invoking an ongoing investigation.
Reassurance that–quote–“the President has made it very clear” that he takes this stuff seriously.
Brennan must not have seen this movie when it was first released. Because this strategy ultimately didn’t work out that well.
