Could Michele Bachmann have been the source of the NSA leak?
The facts of the case are not in dispute: Fort Meade has been data-mining phone records since Bush's second term under a Top Secret no-foreign-dissemination FISA warrant that required renewal four times per year.(IOW this thing has come up for renewal 27 times already.)
Because Bush pulled most of Congress' security clearances (only the speaker, senate majority leader, minority leaders in both houses and members of the intelligence committees are still cleared) and because this warrant is so highly classified, my bet is the leaker is someone on an intelligence committee with significant animus toward the president and who will not run for reelection so he or she has nothing to lose by being unmasked. The only member of Congress who meets all three is Michele Bachmann.
