OK...I may have some "news" here....

79. You do realize that there are a bunch of sources

This person could have who aren't DOJ.

People who appear before grand juries can talk about their impressions of the testimony they had to give. Their attorneys can talk about it as well, if the client allows.

There are literally hundreds or even thousands of people associated with cases who gossip like a sieve--court employees, administrative staff of law firms, and so on. Legal investigators for defense attorneys and intrepid reporters know to frequent the favorite off-duty hangouts of those working indirectly on cases, to eavesdrop on their shop talk over lunch or drinks for any interesting nuggets they might inadvertently reveal. And they all do the shop talk thing.

I haven't known the DOJ people to leak, but oh boy do I know about the adjunct staff leaking. I dated a defense attorney and he was one of those who had a private investigator on his staff who did the eavesdrop thing on prosecution staff, to get a heads up on an important case.

I could also tell you some hair-raising stories about some of the things they do during jury voir dire to eliminate witnesses. Let's just say that anyone sitting in the viewing galleries could be the person analyzing your body language, speech patterns and other profiling criteria to signal an attorney yea or nay on accepting you as a juror.
