Without a 'leak', nobody would have discovered Watergate, or clinton and lewinsky, or a lot of other things over the years. A leak provided wikileaks with information that made clinton look bad, and may have helped trump win. Why, now, is it suddenly popular for trumpissts to despise leaks? Does it have anything to do with how bad it looks for trump?
Now think about what you just wrote, then match up what's been leaked in prior administrations vs what's being leaked in this one.
A non-partisan person would see and admit the stark difference between Nixon,Clinton and now.
One example to get your brain juices flowing, explain how the Manchester leak has/had anything to do with this administration other than to damage the UK/US relationship and/or embarrass this administration.

The primary difference between then and now is not the leaks but the 24/7 cable, Internet, and social media news environment. This country has always had embarrassing leaks but we did not have social media and the pressure cooker that creates. Historically, if you didn't live in the DC area and read the paper edition of the Washington Post, you never heard about 99% of leaks.
Absolutely. They've proven themselves to be traitors who care more about their party than about the country.
Liberals were ready to impeach Trump over these leaks, leaks by people Obama hired. Where are the calls to have them tried for treason?
Historically, "blowing the whistle" on corruption, incompetence, and unethical behavior in government was known as patriotism. Historically, patriots were the people who defended the country and its values and not a king, an elected official, or a party.
I do not care one bit about who is leaking information at this point in that you are correct. But what You forget is that any leakers will end up having to testify before Congress or a Court of Law as to what they saw, heard and know, so they will be identified. That said, you seem more interested in finding out who is pointing out the issues within the WH than getting to the bottom of what is going on behind the screens in this administration, or that some of it borders on not only being unethical but also criminal.
Funny how hypocritical people can be. Where was your desire to get to the bottom of what was going on when it was the Democrats emails being leaked? Then it as all "The russians are coming! the russians are coming!" with liberals and their media lapdogs totally ignoring what was being released to crow about fictional Ruskie bad guys.

These leaks are orchestrated with the press to try to further undermine the Presidency.

We don't have integrity in 'whistle blowing' nowadays. There is a hatred for the Presidency and anyone who hates Trump is determined to malign him, his administration, and silence all of his supporters everywhere and anywhere. To accomplish this, today's whistle blowers are driven by hate, not by fervent patriotism.
While the right has shown itself to be tolerant of honest dissention, the left has not. The ideology of the left seems to be like Sharia -- everyone needs to comply, fall into line and agree, or be silenced.
All government employees in the various agencies should be polygraphed to find the traitors.

Not only that it's time to start jailing whomever is found leaking. Lock up a few and the firehose leaks will fall to a dribble if that.

Seems more likely some folks would prefer a good old fashioned 'tar & feathering'.
