There is apparently little need for the Justice Department to conduct a time-consuming and costly investigation into recent leaks of sensitive national security information. Fox News has already solved the case. It was National Security Advisor Tom Donilon. In the briefing room. With the revolver.

In an interview Thursday morning with Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), who on Wednesday co-sponsored a resolution calling for Attorney General Eric Holder to name a special counsel to investigate the recent leaks, Fox & Friends’ Brian Kilmeade cut right to the chase.

“Senator, you think it was Tom Donilon?” he coyly asked.

But the senator didn’t wilt under Kilmeade’s relentless questioning, and took a pass on accusing the National Security Advisor of high crimes on national television.
