They can’t even
Donnie is poking the FBI now. That went super well for Nixon, if you recall. (Remember who Deep Throat turned out to be? Deputy Director of the FBI.)
The FBI is totally unable to stop the national security "leakers" that have permeated our government for a long time. They can't even……

Good, Donnie. Keep doing that. Keep poking the bear.
And if I recall correctly, as is often the case with leakers, Mark Felt (“Deep Throat”)’s motives in leaking to Woodward and Bernstein weren’t 100% patriotic concern for good government. It doesn’t retroactively let Nixon off the hook. No doubt some of the people leaking to the press today about the Trump Administration have motives that aren’t 100% noble and pure, too, and again it doesn’t change the importance of the leaked information.
He really means “that could have a devastating effect on ME!” “America First” actually translates into” ME First” since he is the bestest and mostest and everythingest and Americanest of all Americans, ever.
The leaks that could be worse than handling international incidents in public view, over insecure cell phones?
Olbermann has it right… the spooks are going to bury him at some point. Now if only he’d left them alone he could mostly do whatever the fuck he wanted.
