How a National Security Reporter Reads the Flynn Leaks

On the Media | Feb 17, 2017

Independent national security reporter Marcy Wheeler (who blogs at emptywheel.net) explains what she sees -- and doesn't -- in the reporting on contacts between Trump associates and Russian intelligence officials. She talks to Bob about what the media fervor might lead to, and what it tells us that the security agencies appear to be applying political pressure.
