State Dept. memo - on dangers of leaks - leaks to media
Source: The Hill
A State Department memo spotlighting the threat of leaks by department employees was leaked to The Washington Post, the newspaper reported Friday.
The memo, which is authored by acting State Department legal adviser Richard Visek and intended for Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, reportedly details Tillerson’s authority to protect certain privileged information and presents a case against leaks.
“When such information is leaked … It chills the willingness of senior government officials to seek robust and candid advice, which ultimately is to the detriment of informed policymaking and the reputation of the institution from which the leak emanated,” the Post quoted the memo as saying.
The leaks from within the State Department, the memo says, could potentially hinder department officials’ ability to participate in policy discussions, if concern mounts that information isn’t protected.

corrupt, illega, unAmerican policies, there would be no need for leaks.
Ya think?
without fear the American public you serve will ever find out about it (unless it's Democrats, of course)." 
Bahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Too funny!
Bwahaha. Thanks, I needed a shot of irony to start my day. 
1. Staffers get a memo warning them not to leak.
2. They leak the memo.
