It should be easy to find the leakers
I'm probably missing something here, some point of law, but I can't understand why it can be so hard to find the administration officials who exposed the CIA agent. Yet, everywhere I turn, I see naysayers
like this
Law enforcement sources say regardless of who's in charge, the chances of this investigation going anywhere are next to none, reports CBS News Chief White House Correspondent John Roberts. A year after it happened, the FBI is still investigating a leak of classified information about Osama Bin Laden from the Senate Intelligence Committee.
"It's always difficult to prosecute leak cases because the person who leaked it almost never admits that he did it, and absent a confession it's almost impossible to find out who did it," Jeffrey Smith, former Justice Department general counsel, tells CBS.
They have the White House phone records. They know the date of at least one call, the one made to Novak. They can identify other calls made to news organizations in that time period. They have White house email. They know who is privy to the agent's identity. Seems like there's a real possibility they could nail somebody.
