Ok, now let’s move beyond the first sentence. Look at the second sentence in particular. This sentence reports that prosecutors are asking witnesses before the grand jury—“including two top aides to Vice President Mike Pence”—about Trump’s conduct. — PolitiTweet.org

The key principle here is Rule #3: “It Is Ethical and Legal for Defense Lawyers to Dish on Matters About Which Prosecutors Cannot Appropriately Talk.” See the article for the details. Bottom line: this is clearly information coming from defense witnesses and their lawyers. — PolitiTweet.org

This strongly suggests that this disclosure is coming from the Pence camp. It is a crime for prosecutors or FBI agents to disclose what Pence aides were asked by prosecutors. It is perfectly legal for the aides or their lawyers to talk about it. Assume the leak is from witnesses. — PolitiTweet.org
