It's literally the worst thing
to happen on the planet."
00:00:06.038 --> 00:00:09.001
She was the
quintessential example
00:00:09.051 --> 00:00:10.008
of an insider threat.
00:00:11.135 --> 00:00:13.637
Obviously an intemperate
political activist,
00:00:13.638 --> 00:00:15.887
how did she get
a security clearance?
00:00:15.888 --> 00:00:17.473
We could ask the same question
00:00:17.474 --> 00:00:20.085
about a lot of people working
in government right now...
00:00:20.851 --> 00:00:23.103
I keep telling myself
to act more like I think
00:00:23.104 --> 00:00:24.688
I did something wrong.
00:00:25.521 --> 00:00:27.357
We are more concerned
with the leaks
00:00:27.358 --> 00:00:29.983
than we are with the fact
that the Russians
00:00:29.984 --> 00:00:31.061
attacked our democracy
00:00:31.611 --> 00:00:33.237
and that
the President's campaign
00:00:33.238 --> 00:00:34.404
may have participated in it.
00:00:34.405 --> 00:00:36.114
They didn't attack
our democracy.
00:00:36.115 --> 00:00:37.532
- They did.
- That's a meaningful...
00:00:37.533 --> 00:00:39.997
If you look at this,
this is sort of like
00:00:39.001 --> 00:00:42.329
The Intercept knowingly
or unknowingly
00:00:42.033 --> 00:00:44.497
outed their own source.

I mean, it made no sense.
00:00:45.998 --> 00:00:47.917
It's like, is it that,

00:00:47.918 --> 00:00:50.418
Sloppy? Irresponsible?
What is it?
00:00:50.419 --> 00:00:51.295
Both.
00:00:51.296 --> 00:00:52.546
As a journalist,
we count on people
00:00:52.547 --> 00:00:54.965
to leak us information
that's vital
00:00:54.966 --> 00:00:56.591
