seems overly general. the trump tax return leaker doesn't fit this mold. reality winner tried not to...

I assumed this is just about the "senior official" type sources, and tax leaker or Reality Winner would still be genuinely anonymous sources

To distinguish between "someone left me a note" and "I spoke with a known, viable source but can't attribute," the distinction seems fair.

Thank you for that. I keep having to remind people that "anonymous sources" aren't anonymous to the reporters who are quoting them.
