In an interesting interview with Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein, he says that they’re actively seeking after leakers in the administration, but they’re not going after journalists for “doing their jobs.”

You can tell from the interview that Rosenstein is a pretty calm and rational guy, and very precise in his answers. I’m sure Trump supporters would rather see fire spitting from his mouth about leakers – the way it was with Scaramucci – but he sounds more of a reasonable investigator.
At about the 8 minute mark, he also says the FBI does not engage in a “fishing investigation.” Wallace presses him pretty well throughout the interview.
