President Trump has faced seven times more leaks during the first 126 days of his administration than the previous two administrations. That figure includes many leaks from the intelligence community that were aimed at embarrassing Trump but have damaged U.S. national security, according to a new Senate report.
“Since President Trump assumed office, our nation has faced an unprecedented wave of potentially damaging leaks of information,” said the report from the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
“Under President Trump’s predecessors, leaks of national security information were relatively rare, even with America’s vibrant free press,” the report found.
The report warned that the leaks have “real world consequences for national security” and recommended that federal law enforcement officials investigate the leaks:
"These leaks do not occur in a vacuum. They can, and do, have real world consequences for national security. To ensure the security of our country’s most sensitive information, federal law enforcement officials ought to thoroughly investigate leaks of potentially sensitive information flowing at an alarming rate."

God only gave us the very best.
Clean house! Drain swamp!
The swamp is the deep state.
The article is explaining how difficult it is to compete against the deep state (intelligence networks).
The swamp cannot be drained because of the power it wields secretly.
That is the whole point.
