Three news outlets were recently leaked confidential material from inside the Trump campaign, but have chosen not to reveal any of the details about what they received.
Because, when the FBI investigates a crime, in this case a computer crime, they advise the witness, in this case the media, to keep everything confidential. They do this to not compromise their investigation.
And, media lawyers know that the use of stolen material exposes them to charges and law suits.
That didn’t seem to matter to them much in previous incidents.
These were leaked, it says they may have come from a hack, so the “crime” portion is even less defined than the previous releases like Clinton’s, which absolutely came from a hack but nobody seemed to care.

Wikileaks published first. Then US media wrote a story about their story.
