Anyone know if current Russia news coming from leaks? Some Dems trying for months to get it out.

Anyone heard if the stuff WaPo and NYT are publishing is coming from leaks? Because there are Dem senators and reps who have been trying unsuccessfully for months to get this stuff released and they still haven't said anything specific to my knowledge.

David Corn published this article in Mother Jones last Monday:
This Senator (Wyden) is Hell-bent on getting out the truth about Trump and Russia.

"Wyden has already indicated that there is information on Trump-Russia ties within the US government that ought to be declassified, that he will push to keep the committee's inquiry on track, and that he will press to make as much of its findings as public as possible."

And he and other senators tried to get a lot of this stuff that is finally coming out released before the election. So is the stuff from this week coming from leaks?

to be a lot of knowledge running around, but not enough solid on the record confirmation to go public with...so leaks make sense, keeps the story front and center.
