trump is already looking for the persons who leaked the Putin bounty story https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook/2020/07/07/new-white-house-searches-for-intel-leakers-489718
THE ADMINISTRATION has interviewed people with access to the intelligence, and believes it has narrowed down the universe of suspects to fewer than 10 people.
THE ADMINISTRATION has said it would search for leakers in its ranks on many occasions. Notably, they vowed to find out who wrote an anonymous op-ed in the NYT almost two years ago. They said theyd find who leaked the presidents calendars in February 2019. Most of these probes fizzled out or faded away.
BUT, THE ADMINISTRATION seems a bit more worked up about these leaks, due to the highly classified nature of the intelligence.
The Lincoln Project ad plays on trump's deep insecurity and paranoia.

I have been saying this all along. The way to get to him and the way to turn off his most ardent supporters is through ridicule. It makes him look weak. He is weak, and we all know that, but his base has fallen for the false machismo and bravado. Making fun of him is the most powerful tool we have against him right now as far as messaging goes.
They don't care if he is evil, corrupt, stupid, incompetent or even under Putin's thumb. But when he starts to look like a joke, like a sad little clown, that is when they will start distancing. They do not want to align themselves with a laughingstock and an impotent, whining little loser.
