Whether Clinton is involved is unclear, but she has been known to sanction leaks. “Whoever is doing it on her end is ruining it for her,” said one former Clinton hand. “It will be an earthquake if she doesn’t get this.” The deal isn’t dead yet, the Daily News says, but if it dies, the leaks will have played a major role. Obama operatives have warned that anyone caught leaking will be fired and will not be offered jobs in the new administration. Read These Next New York Times ranks the best movies of the 21st century.
