Potter Stewart leaked large amounts of inside knowledge to Bob Woodward for the book 'The Brethren' (which is excellent BTW) though it didn't come out until his death. Abe Fortas eventually resigned under a cloud of partisanship and questionable financial decisions, but was not impeached. I'm sure there are others. The honest truth is, though, that impeachment simply isn't going to happen. If a conservative leaked, essentially no Republican will vote to convict, and if a liberal essentially no Democrat. Impeachment is fundamentally a political process, the issue is partisan, and neither side has a sufficient supermajority. The facts are irrelevant, even if you think a leak is impeachable (which I don't, FWIW).
