John Hanusz of the Daily Journal just leaked some information on the leaked information involved in the Anthony Pellicano wiretapping case. And, not shockingly, but still big news, our trusty Grey Lady has sparked yet another FBI manhunt.

The Justice Department and the FBI are planning to launch a full federal investigation into the confidential memo leaks to New York Times' reporters David Halbfinger and Alison Hope Weiner .

Federal prosecutors and defense attorneys in the Anthony Pellicano wiretapping case are pointing fingers at each other after confidential FBI memos turned up in news reports. Sources close to the case said the Justice Department and the FBI will soon launch investigations into who leaked memos of interviews with supermarket magnate Ronald W. Burkle, Paramount Pictures head Brad Grey and former Disney president Michael S. Ovitz. Those agencies, however, would not comment.

Isn't it refreshing to here Burkle's name in the context of a totally different scandal? The rest of the article, via Fishbowl LA is after the jump. Or, if you have a fancy Daily Journal subscription, click here.

The leaked memos were quoted in two New York Times stories shortly after they were made available to defense lawyers, prosecutors said.

U.S. District Judge Dale S. Fischer had issued an order that the memos be kept confidential. Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel A. Saunders, the lead prosecutor on the Pellicano case, notified Fischer that her order was violated a week after the memos were turned over to the defense.

Pellicano attorney Steven F. Gruel then fired off a letter to prosecutors, saying he did not appreciate the insinuation that defense lawyers had leaked the memos.

"As an officer of the court and former prosecutor, I trust your investigation includes an 'in-house' review that will be reported to the court and all defense counsel." Gruel wrote."
