The Justice Department has a whopping 27 open investigations into leaks of classified information with a “political motive,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions revealed Tuesday — that’s three times more than the agency has had in the three years prior.
The nation's top law enforcement officer gave new details on the active probes during his highly anticipated testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.
“Leaks have reached epidemic proportions,” Sessions said. “We have 27 ongoing investigations, some of those involve leaks before President Trump took office, and some after.”
Sessions added: “But before that, it was only three per year—there were nine. There are three times as many this year as in the entire three years before being investigated.”
Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., pressed Sessions over whether anyone had been held accountable “criminally or administratively” for leaking information against the Trump administration “with a political motive.”
Sessions responded that “the individual in Georgia” had been charged.

These leaks have been going on for some time now. You need to ask why nothing or no one has been charged yet. Could it be Sessions is covering for the guilty with the help of the corrupt Justice Dept.??????
