Olbermann identifies a probable source and it is very plausible.
I wonder why no other cable host or journalist is asking?

(81,261 posts)Ive heard hes not easy to work with. But MAN-oh-MAN - he may be worth the grief. Im qualifying that, though. Ive worked with people whove specialized in aggressive power against targeted staffers they didnt like. One mad dog I tried desperately hard to work with threatened to knock me through the floor. Hed come to L.A. from San Francisco, and all I wished for was for him to turn around and go back.

(81,261 posts)If it seems too complicated to figure out, I get turned off because I dont have an ease with technology. Never have. I was grateful when I reached the point in my career when Id have an engineer to depend on, and didnt have to worry about any of the bajillion buttons on the damn board except the mic button. Ive always been intimidated by the technical stuff.

(58,785 posts)when the documents first turned up and turned them over, all to the letter of the law. Then conducted their own search for more and found the ones near his home, then etc to the letter of the law.
They didn't rush to notify the press right before the critical midterm elections, but weren't required to do it then either ethically or legally. There was no attempt to bury this permanently as a secret.
That's what matters.
As for who first "leaked" what would become public as this progressed, of interest if it was malicious but still comparatively irrelevant?
HERE's something I kinda wonder about: That the first set of documents was found November 2, six days before the midterms. Also, how'd they and the others get where they were? There's been no speculation that they were planted, but until that's investigated and the handling path established I'll at least wonder anyway.

(58,785 posts)Of course, we know the DoJ does arrange occasional "leak-style" releases of information through third parties, usually ex- government functionaries, for its own purposes. So that's a possibility also.

Never heard what papers Trump had. As far as them not preporting it prior to the election wasn't that DOJ president except for Hillary.

(4,733 posts)immediately disclose the existence of the found documents and what they were doing to get them back to the archives and cooperate with any DOJ investigation? They knew about them since November 2. Why did it take over 2 months for this information to be disclosed (and only by a leak). Didn't President Biden promise to be transparent and admit mistakes when they happen?
If not for the leak would this EVER have become public? What would have happened if the DOJ charged President Trump for classified document related crimes and then this came out AFTER that?
