That is fair. I guess you would have to trust the reporter to keep the secret. Then again after enough time passes with no real paper trail it is deniable enough I guess. Are there any legal protections for anonymous sources that get outed?

No, but the entire way any reporter in Washington gets any good scoops is being willing to protect their anonymous sources even when people have a good idea who it is.

(i had a computer training once where we were specifically advised to never, ever use this function because it doesn't work and will only make sure people read the email you're trying to get them to ignore)

when I worked IT at a car dealership group, a sales manager sent an email to his entire team that included a spreadsheet which showed everyone's base and margins and bonuses. Cue a frantic call from him on how to "recall" an email which had already been delivered to 100 outlook boxes. Good luck. You could (at that time, Outlook ~2008 era) send a "delete" email but the default sorting we used caused people to nearly always open the thing to be "deleted" before opening the "delete" email.

Every day I feel like my ability to feel surprise is gone, and yet things like this prove me wrong. How the gently caress did Trump not have aides tackling him and chaining him to his toilet to prevent this from getting out? It's so loving bad.

Like if Trump is blocking the whistleblower complaint and allowing this memo I'm really loving interested in the rest of the contents of the complaint.

So is the fact that Trump directed/coerced the Ukranian PM to speak with Guliani (his personal lawyer) part of the issue of legality? I'm really all thumbs regarding the legal specifics.

The Speaker doesn't have to be in Congress. Pelosi could resign, elect Clinton and then be reelected once she takes office. But the republicans are going to go down with the ship and hope they end up on the driftwood.

It would be something if the reason Pelosi chose to sit on impeachment was cause she wanted something to nail on Pence so she could ascend. I doubt it, but that would have been a House of Cards level play.
