(73,537 posts)Most of the leaks are from within the White House -- except for those from Jared's legal team. But that wasn't true before the middle of May; before then, most were from the intelligence community.
I do not share your opinion of Mr. Woodward. And it would be quite a stretch to imagine Mr. Felt climbing the stairs to Bob's apartment, marking a page on Bob's morning newspaper, and then heading off to his office. Nixon had journalists spied upon, both electronically and in person. That was, of course, the initial reason for creating the plumbers. Dan Rather's first book contains a valuable story about his experience with that. The introduction of the Senate Committee's Watergate Report by Daniel Shore is another. Safe to say that the assistant director of the FBI wouldn't risk climbing Woodward's stairs.
