How does the Guardian have such intimate details of a forensic investigation at the White House level and in the same breath claim that unauthorized access to non public information is a threat to national security ?

It makes no sense for the media on one side of the political spectrum to claim the right to unfettered access to secrets.

Because it’s not “non-public” information but classified information that’s the problem.

Why would this investigation be classified?

If you read the original piece in the Atlantic, Goldberg didn’t publish much of the information initially thinking it would be irresponsible to do so.

So the Guardian getting access to internal White House deliberations and a FORENSIC INVESTIGATION, is not cause for concern but everything that people you don’t like , is, apparently.

This is precisely why the political divide is impossible to bridge. Everything I said indicates seriousness about classified information or even simply unauthorized access to information in such a cavalier manner that it’s published in the Guardian. Somehow, calling it out is more problematic than achieving a political end.
