Rockefeller is the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and Durbin is the No. 2-ranking Democrat in the Senate. Media reports on the satellite leak last December indicated that the Bush administration was concerned about public comments by Durbin, Rockefeller and Wyden and that the CIA had requested a Justice Department probe.
"The formal request for a leaks investigation would target people who described sensitive details about a new generation of spy satellites to The Washington Post, which published a page-one story about the espionage program Saturday [Dec. 11, 2004]," a Justice Department official told The Associated Press at the time.
But the same official told the AP that Justice "has not decided whether to investigate."
Former Deputy Undersecretary Babbin's comments on Saturday were the first indication that such a probe was actually launched and is ongoing.

Looks like an on-going investigation into Rockefeller along with Durbin is taking place on leaking classified information.

I hope they go down....and go down hard. I hope they think it was worth it politically after they are sitting in a federal pound-me-in-the-arse prison.

West Virgina, Illinois and Oregon (isn't that Wyden's state) ought to start a recall NOW for these 3 traitors...Their pensions should also be lost and any hope for any government job EVER again lost!

Rats sincerely believe that laws are only for Republicans, and that rules do not apply to democrats.
These traitors are de facto al Queda allies and must be annihilated.

This better be going on. This is serious stuff. I want them doing the perp walk if guilty.
I am sure Chris Matthews will be all over this.
