A brand-new report suggests that Hillary Clinton’s State Department leaked confidential national security secrets to New York Times reporter David Sanger.




The leaks were allegedly in exchange for writings that made the department look tougher.


Judge Andrew Napolitano discussed the severity of the leaks on this morning's Fox and Friends.


“All governments leak information, we know that. But when the government leaks national security secrets in return for favorable treatment in the press, the government is showing its hypocrisy because it is violating the very same statute that it’s attempting to prosecute Edward Snowden for violating,” Napolitano said.

Not really. No. Judge Napolitano is an a) judge, and b) a libertarian, and c) it's a logical fallacy to disregard a source instead of the subject.

Anyway...keep on keepin' on.

If Fox News states the time is 10:30 does Cigar discount that because its coming from Fox News?

If a story is true it does not matter where the information is first released. Just as conversely, if a story if false its source is irrelevant. However, for a liberal if you can automatically marginalize the source then you are spared from ever having to debate the actual issue.
