I saw this same report on a *iffy* site a couple hours ago.

Don't know what to think about it; have to wait til a press conference tomorrow.

This should take the Oscar news out of the headlines.

It’s pretty normal in business these days. The need to find the leaks

Watch for those who don’t come back from the break.

If this is true, I want to know why did this take so long, why hasn’t this been the policy from the day he became president?

I would have had this and a weekly lie detector for top staff.

It was the main story on Politico. They are so overjoyed that Spicer’s staff constantly leaks they can’t contain themselves.

But he needs to fire that entire staff. Forget checking their phones.

Too many good people out there who can do the job to keep putting up with leakers.

I know you may find it hard to believe, but there other critical items that need to be addressed beyond your personal hot buttons.

MOST of the staffers are loyal to obamatard. They know every move after being slaved into it for 8 years.

Likely fake news, but I don’t trust Priebus.

Why fire the whole staff?

Yes!

Who recommended the members of this staff to Spicer? Fire them too.

Fire anybody who was previously associated with the GOPe. Such people should not be allowed anywhere near the WH.

This is not rocket science.

We had the same stuff here in our production company. Before the interview, we need to know if you are a stupid liberal and the first thing we check for is for any obama, bernie or hitlery car stickers at the back. Sometimes the simplest things come up important.

Why would there be any Obama leftovers in the WH? If there are than Trump is not as great as I thought he was. They all should have been fired from Day 1!

That my first thought too, after this dust-up.

paranoid much? for spicer to be a leak problem, you’d have to suspect trump’s ability to judge character, and he prospered in the most savage industry in america’s most unforgiving town.

I think we should delay the firing squad for a few days, at least.

If the leaks are not sealed , this administration is doomed. What we are witnessing is treason and other major felonies. I love President Trump, but he has failed to adequately drain the swamp that he is standing within the Executive Branch.

It won’t be long, probably within 24 hours, before the media adopts “bunker mentality” as a new anti-Trump meme.
