What type of prosecution would this be considered? Honest question
quote:Well it depends really. Is the information leading them to the important evidence, or is it evidence (including an accusation) in and of itself?
This is a good point. I dont know how constitutionally the two coexist but I guess it is what it is.
To compare the two recent leaks. The Comey memo source is leading them to the evidence, whereas the Russian Diplomat source made an accusation, and specifically based on a first hand account.

What would Trump have to do with the source? And why would he want this to be an issue, even if fake?
They're playing into the narrative of fake news by not vetting their source. It's like the entire mainstream media turned into Dan Rather and Brian Williams.
