I never ever said that DOJ leaked.
Just for everyone's information, Mark Short, Mike Pence's top aid, testified yesterday before a grand jury looking into Jan. 6.
I guarantee that DOJ did not leak that, but we found out, didn't we. Short tried to claim executive privilege or whatever but a judge was having none of it.
This could turn out to be a big deal, we shall see. Something else for Trump to think about, another duck gets in line.
Here are the goodies.

You are absolutely right, DOJ doesnt leak.
For what it is worth, I believe witnesses are free to speak about their testimony afterwards.
DU lawyers can correct me if I am wrong. Which happens sometimes

(15,616 posts)Short willingly testified to the J6 committee, and now to the Grand Jury.
Good News.
Not sure if this could be considered a leak, because:
1)The courts rulings on privilege are public records, and
2) Short was observed by reporters entering and leaving the building where the GJ meets.

(10,052 posts)that is how they know when someone is coming and going from testifying. When they saw Short, they also saw Kash Patel. The leaks usually come from someone close to the person testifying not the DOJ.
