More leaks coming from House Judiciary Committee than White House?

The committee had set up a form on the committee's website for people to blow the whistle privately about abuses in the Department of Justice. Although the panel said it would not accept anonymous tips, it assured those who came forward that their identity would be held in the "strictest confidence."
But in an email sent out today, the committee inadvertently sent the email addresses of all the would-be whistle blowers to everyone who had written in to the tipline. The committee email was sent to tipsters and whistle blowers who had used the website.
The mistake happened when the email addresses were put in the "To" field instead of the "Bcc" field. The Committee has been a leaky faucet of sorts concerning supposedly confidential information and the A-USA investigations. I don't think her testimony is seen as valueable for either Democrats or Republicans. Neithe side can figure what to make of it. I sure can't.

The chairman of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee has written a letter to
Alabama lawyer Jill Simpson, apologizing for the way a 143-page transcript
of her interview last month with committee staff was released to the
public.Simpson said Friday that she had an agreement with committee
officials that she would be notified before the statement was released. In the
statement, Simpson told attorneys for Democrats and Republicans on the committee about her claims that Republicans had political motivation for the investigation
and prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman.

The transcript was released to some Alabama reporters by the committee's Republican counsel.
But in a statement Friday, ranking Republican member Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said Time magazine had already obtained a copy of the transcript before the release to Alabama reporters. "Any accusation of a 'leak' of the transcript after it was in the public domain and in the hands of Time is disingenuous and without merit," Smith said in the statement.

Jill Simpson of Rainsville also told congressional staff that she spoke at different times over several months with Siegelman, his supporters and Gov. Bob Riley's political opponents before deciding to write the May 21 affidavit used to promote a U.S. House Judiciary Committee hearing on the prosecution of Siegelman and his co-defendant, former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy. Both are now serving prison terms.
