The word leak is actually a useful metaphor.
Think of them as water coming out of a pressurized tank.
The higher the pressure on the inside, the faster the leaks come out.
The pressure to leak is basically the difference between the behavior the President wants you to know about, and the behavior he doesn't want you to know about.
If his private actions match his public persona, there are fewer leaks.

And what a dumb plan.
Even if a staffer is dumb enough to leak something that the chief of staff merely told him in private, that he didn't hear from anyone else, reporters don't usually print anything unless they've heard it from multiple sources.

My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
