Do we have a little unintentional tip as to the source of all those leaks of testimony to the grand jury, which the White House (and just about everyone else) has loudly blamed on Ken Starr's office? Now look who's getting desperate to hide things:
The Blumenthal subpoena takes the controversy a step further, involving not grand jury information but the daily transactions, many of them conducted under a cloak of anonymity, between journalists and political aides. Information, rumors and tips are shared freely in these conversations, and reporters routinely assume that their role, not just the official's identity, will remain confidential.
Political aides, hey? Unintentional slip, yah think? Starr doesn't have "political aides" working for him. He has deputies, a.k.a. officers of the law. In the haste to cover up and obfuscate, some cracks are appearing in the facade.
