He knows. The answer is damning. The leaks are damning. But Obama is only interested in professing outrage, with no interest in finding out who.
Like any investigation: ask who benefits from the leaks? proceed from there.

first dems arent exactly OUTRAGED (as whirlie stated) and neither are the repubs, second there is an investigation underway, third anyone with an IQ above 5 knows damn well its counter productive to spout off about the particulars when you conduct invsetigations, fourth COF and whirlie arent capable of understanding any of the above ..
from the article
WASHINGTON --
President Obama says he has "zero tolerance" for leaks of classified information and that his administration investigates every such instance.
He stopped short of saying there is a specific investigation underway into the source of recent news stories about U.S. drone strikes against terrorists and cyber-attacks on
Iran’s
nuclear program.
But Obama said that leaks of classified information about national security matters make life harder for him and put American civilians and military in harm's way, and that his administration tries to make sure that sources of such leaks "suffer consequences" for their actions.
"We don’t play with that," Obama told reporters in a short news conference in the
White House briefing room.
In the wake of the stories, Sen.
John McCain (R-Ariz.) has called for a special prosecutor to investigate leaks, which he says are designed to portray Obama as a strong leader on national security matters.
Democrats have also expressed concern. Sen.
Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), chair of the
Senate Intelligence Committee, says that the recent spate of leaks could endanger American lives and "undermine America’s national security."
