This is the last in a series of five columns on the recent revelations that the Justice Department, beginning in the Trump administration and continuing into the Biden administration, conducted investigations of leaks of sensitive information by government officials to members of the media. Those investigations reportedly involve subpoenas for communications records of several journalists, as well as other controversial information demands by investigators. Follow these links for the first, second, third, and fourth columns in the series.
As detailed in the first column in this series, former FBI director Jim Comey appears to be the target of a leak investigation that was pursued by the Trump Justice Department, possibly one that the Biden Justice Department continued. There is an intriguing angle here, but it has precious little to do with leaks of classified information.
