Dear-Editor

The right leaning Wall Street Journal says that the Department of the Treasury asked them to write about the SWIFT searches of American bank accounts. They wanted it out there, it was a fully sanctioned leak. The WSJ didn’t know that the same Administration had asked the left leaning New York Times not to print, knowing full well that they would. Was it because “it’s an election year and beating up on the New York Times is prime red meat for the conservative base”?
