Melinda hurriedly attempted to smooth things over.
"Heh heh."
Donald sneered and said, "It's not necessarily that our Director David's sources are closely guarded. Couldn't it be that certain individuals are sloppy with their own affairs and leaked information?"

"Senator Phipps, what exactly do you mean now?"
