The media along with the Senate are trying to hide the name of an intel staffer who is about to be indicted in a leak probe. No name of the person has been released, only that the individual is 31 years old. The fact that they are hiding the name of this person indicates to me that it’s probably a Democrat staffer. Had the person been a Republican staffer, the name would have leaked hours ago.

The Department of Justice is expected to indict a former staffer on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence over an unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information.
CNN and The Wall Street Journal report that the indictment will be handed down within days. The staffer has not been identified, though The Journal reported that he is 31 years old and has worked for both Democrats and Republicans.
The Senate quietly passed a resolution on Wednesday to provide information for the case to the Justice Department.
“The Select Committee on Intelligence has received a request from the Department of Justice for records pertinent to a pending investigation arising out of allegations of the unauthorized disclosure of information by a former employee of the Committee,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement for the congressional record on Wednesday.
