Juan Williams: ‘I’m All for Leakers’, ‘Call Me’


On this week’s episode of Fox News Sunday, Fox News co-host Juan Williams disagreed with a Democratic congresswoman who claimed that leaks were hurting the country. Instead, he said invited leakers to call him personally — as long as the info hurts Trump.

Fox News contributor Juan Williams on Sunday praised government personnel for leaking to the media and damaging the Trump administration while in front of a former Democratic congresswoman harmed by Obama administration intelligence leaks.

During a panel on “Fox News Sunday,” former California Democratic Rep. Jane Harman told Chris Wallace she was “very troubled” by the leaks coming out of the administration.

“John McCain is right. Leakers should be prosecuted. The Justice Department should go after the leakers. We have enough statutes to prosecute them. In this climate, partial leaking is even worse because then there are selected quotes and you can make anything seem true,” Harman said.

Despite Harman’s own history with government leakers, Williams declared moments later on the panel during the discussion: “Just give me a moment here to say if you have a leak please call me at FOX News. I’m all for leakers. I think leakers are good to contribute to democracy. I don’t think trying to undermine government but I don’t think we condemned Obama for going harshly against people who were disclosing information acting as if they were agents of some foreign government. This is a democracy we have a First Amendment. Reporters play an essential role.”

Juan’s call for government leaks was particularly ironic given his company. Harman was once the victim of an illegal leak while working with the Obama administration. A call she had made with Israeli agent was wiretapped and released to the press — a felony she called an “abuse of power.”
