Todd, the moderator of “Meet the Press, ” tweeted:
If DoJ media source threat is real (I assume it’s not; just a show presser to please WH) then I look forward to ignoring that subpoena
And he added:
I’ll say it again: the best way to prevent leaks for ANY org? Be a leader that inspires loyalty and cut out the staff infighting.
The worst way to stop leaks: threats
His comments came after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a crackdown on leakers. Sessions said he might even go after the media and seek the names of sources, The Hill reports.
