Leaks of information are a toxic disease that has become out of control in the US.

Yes, Globe editors, it is widely rumored that Trump leaked Israeli intelligence to the Russians.  But what is also true, is the media is reporting daily leaks from private meetings the President is having with other people that range from the former President Obama to Comey to internal meetings and more.  They are salacious and are meant to sell the news and also chip away and Trump's credibility.

In Canada and Britain, and most Western democracies they would be considered illegal (cabinet secrecy) or grounds for dismissal (leaks from intelligence officials).

They have to be dealt with...and truth be told, the media cannot decide who will be President.  That is what they have elections for.
