just before leaving office.

Almost all the leaks against the Obama administration have been suspected, to come from those folks.
Sadly, this is never reported in today's media leaks. They are quite happy to say when they suspect information has been leaked from Obama's administration but not from the republican's plants.

What specifically was the "dirty work" that you say that Nixon was doing for the Eisenhower Admin? AnotherMcIntosh Mar 2013 #7

No, I like facts. It is a false equivalency to equate asking for facts with being "unduly disturbed" AnotherMcIntosh Mar 2013 #21

LOL! I've done my homework for decades, but based on the rather nasty tone of your response.... OldDem2012 Mar 2013 #23
