The Trump administration has often said it would sniff out leakers within its own ranks to no avail. But this time, Politico reports, the White House seems more determined than usual.

Per Politico, the administration has opened an internal investigation to figure out who leaked intelligence about Russia allegedly offering bounties to Taliban-linked militants to kill U.S. and coalition troops in Afghanistan. Some of the anger about the leak may have to do with the fact that the information was highly-classified, but the bombshell report also sparked backlash against President Trump for failing to address the issue. The White House responded by denying Trump was ever briefed on the intelligence, which only led to more criticism.

After a series of interviews, the administration reportedly believes it's narrowed down the list to fewer than 10 people who had access to the intelligence. The White House maintains the story was overblown and the report itself is far from conclusive, although follow-up reporting provided further evidence that the bounties were real.

Why is this bounty thing such a big deal? We were in a proxy war against Russia in Syria during the Obama Administration. A lot of countries are out for our heads and are aiming to sabotage us more ways than one.

My thing is that he announced the US was going to pull out of the Afghanistan back in February, ending the Afghanistan war against the Taliban. So clearly he was putting in work to prevent Americans from getting killed.

I don't deny this. I just don't see the point in raising a fuss over Putin wanting to put a hit on American soldiers by the enemies that Trump is pulling American soldiers away from.

That's NOT what the "fuss" is over, dude. It's about Trump's response to it.

Trump will defend Putin & Russia no matter what. They can help kill Americans and hell still defend them.

But its Democrats & news reporters that are the enemy of the people.
