In my book, Sperry is your guy, because I had never heard of RCI or Sperry until you pointed out here that Sperry has outed someone as the whistleblower.
Leaking may be what DC does, although I will point out that the Republicans keep complaining about the "leaks" of witness testimony to the Intelligence Committee, when in fact the witnesses were releasing their opening statements to the press. If you think my "complaint" could be made against all of the anti-Trump leaks, then you are completely missing the point of what I was saying, which was about the way that you, Sebby, do or don't have sympathy for people who get targeted by prosecution and/or leaks. For some reasons, you have a great deal of sympathy for the targets of prosecution, but that sympathy evaporates entirely if the government is smearing someone but not prosecuting them. When the target is of the leak is a senior government official, as with the "anti-Trump" leaks,* something different is going on.
* It's the White House's world, and you just live in it.
