Wanted to add this Report to your thread, 23.. from Joy Reid.. she's On This. Can't imagine Issa being too happy about that.
It's really long.. so I've taken out enticing snips to lead you to the whole article..especially the Updates at the bottom of her Piece..
snip*** way down towards the end..
Whodunnit?
Maddow and others are calling on Karl to give up his source, since it appears he was used to transmit false information in order to plant the seeds of a media scandal. I doubt he will do that, both because its not in the nature of a journalist, especially in the small, cruel world that is Washington, to burn a source even a bad one. Every political source has friends. And every reporter needs sources with friends.
The fact is, it will ultimately be up to good old fashioned sleuthing (or another, timely leak
) to figure out who fed bogus information to ABC and TWS. And my own sources say there is a fair amount of nervousness among Republican staffers on Capitol Hill right now over this potential story. So no ones taking the risk of losing their jobs by talking.
So who could the leaker be?

UPDATE: A very trusted source of mine gave me a cryptic piece of advice yesterday, which was to take a look at the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs. I didnt know quite what to make of it at the time, but tonight it occurred to me: could someone on that committee also have been on the Select Committee on Intelligence, which is the one that got the email briefing in February?

Pretty juicy list! Note how stacked the minority side of the committee is with presidential aspirants, potential aspirants, a former aspirant, and some of the most hardcore tea party Senators, including some, like Rand Paul, John McCain and Kelly Ayotte, who have gone after, first Susan Rice, and then Hillary Clinton guns blazing on Benghazi. But only one of those Senators ALSO sits on the Select Committee on Intelligence which is the one that my administration source says got the February briefing

Suspense!
A Whole Lot More.. including who Joy Reid thinks could be the source passing bogus emails.

I so hope Jon Karl's "source" is sleuthed out. Wonder if he's shaking in his shoes yet or too arrogant to think "I could really get busted here!"?
