Trump tried to convince NSA chief to absolve him of any Russian Collusion: A recent NSA memo documents a phone call in which Trump pressures agency chief Admiral Mike Rogers to state publicly that there is no evidence of collusion between his campaign and Russia

Leaks aren't really a long term problem.

Consider that they were never this prominent even at the absolute height of GWB's unpopularity. Because there was never a doubt that he may either be a traitor or a treasonous fool being played. Bush wasn't reversing a century of foreign policy by shitting on our closest allies, undermining NATO, turning a blind eye to an egregious attack on our elections, and trying to dismantle sanctions against Russia. He wasn't hiring people with shady ties to Russia, nor did he get caught in multitude of lies about contact between his campaign and Russia. He also wasn't in the business of firing FBI Directors and prosecutors investigating his campaign and his associates.

The leaks Trump is facing is just patriotic public servants trying to impose checks and balances on a runaway administration using the Fourth Estate, and really only because the Republican Congress has no interest in checking their Republican President.

As soon as this idiot is out of office and we have a halfway competent guy in his place that isn't actually gargling Putin's balls, leaks are going to go back to the standard DC levels they were at before Trump came to power.
