Okay, Here's What I Don't Get About the Leak RE the Russian Meeting

Besides Trump, there were only 3 other administration people present. Looks to me like they should be able to figure out who leaked it.
PS - Assuming (1) it wasn't one of the Russians, or (2) the room where they met isn't bugged.
PS2 - Never mind. I didn't know about the transcript.

CIA got the transcript and leaked to WaPo.

Something was said.
Folks in the room gave NSA/CIA a heads up.
Someone in NSA/CIA leaked it to WaPo

There was a transcript
quote:Read better
Senior White House officials appeared to recognize quickly that Trump had overstepped and moved to contain the potential fallout. Thomas P. Bossert, assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, placed calls to the directors of the CIA and the NSA, the services most directly involved in the intelligence-sharing arrangement with the partner.
One of Bossert’s subordinates also called for the problematic portion of Trump’s discussion to be stricken from internal memos and for the full transcript to be limited to a small circle of recipients, efforts to prevent sensitive details from being disseminated further or leaked

I am not sure it was the CIA that leaked it. But the meeting was recorded and the transcript was issued to a large audience.
It could have been a ton of people.
that tape will be fricking subpoenaed in the next few weeks.

Horse shite
Assuming it wasn't the ic that leaks like a sieve is the big assumption

Wouldn't be surprised if it was the Russians. They are trying to sow discord at every turn.

There are lots of paths. Let's say one of the 3 was Bob. He told his friend Bill who told his two friends, Jack and Jane. Jack is a Obama holdover in intel and told Wapo.

this. but they didn't get it transcribed they heard it the way they wanted to. IOWs if POTUS Trump had said Mary had a little lamb they would have said he said it's fleece was white as snow bear russians.

NYT editor said on CNN that there were lower level people in the room as well. Of course, he could just be trying to protect his source and made that part up.
I assume that someone recorded the conversation (which is common) and then sent it to CIA/NSA where some analyst determined that classified info was leaked. This guy then leaked to the press. In other words, Obama holdovers in the IC.
If they really were worried about classified material, then leaking it to the press is the WORST thing to do. Take it to your superiors or take it to the Congressional oversight committee. Anything. The mere fact they leaked it means they don't give a shite about classified material, they only care about politics.
This could have been handled internally without risking the information getting out there more than it already had.

that call if it happened... was placed to curb exactly what happened. WaPo reporting what such n such -IC leftover from Obama- told them. IOW's: POTUS words to a foreign leader not leaked anymore than them talking about the weather.
dumbasses @ WaPo and Podesta took this to mean POTUS said something nefarious.

This isn't hard to figure out
When classified material is discussed without prior notice, by law the NSC must contact the originating agency to notify them. Thus the CIA and the NSA were both notified.
Someone within one of those two agencies then leaked to the press.
It wouldn't be that difficult to figure out who it was.

I wonder why people are not getting yet again... that the rogue IC leaking to WaPo is a felony.

Comrad Trump doesn't need any help. He's an expert at it.

Initial reports were that one of Trump's own team was so alarmed at what Trump revealed, he contacted CIA/NSA.
