Attacks on Top Trump Adviser Gorka a Product of Obama Admin Holdovers, Targeted Leaks

Support for Gorka not waning in Trump White House in light of media attacks

Obama administration holdovers and loyalists are waging a leak-driven media campaign against a senior counter-terrorism adviser hand-picked by President Donald Trump, with the aim of undermining the Trump administration's national security apparatus, according to multiple senior White House officials and sources close to the administration.

Sebastian Gorka, a longtime national security expert profiled by senior editor Bill Gertz in today's Free Beacon, has been the subject of multiple leaks and negative stories portraying him as a bigot as part of a campaign similar to the one that brought down former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Senior White House officials dismissed the media narratives and said Gorka is well liked and respected by Trump's innermost crowd. Several of these sources would only speak on background because they were not authorized to discuss internal White House workings. They also expressed growing concern about leaks from within the administration that are aimed at undermining Trump's senior advisers.

I admire and support Gorka and want him as full time advisor asap. Those people are not subject to confirmation. He is very mush a threat to the muslim lovers.

This is not politics. This is espionage. Democrats are digging a hole that will become their grave. They have become the enemy of the nation, working from within to disrupt and diminish the ability of elected leaders to govern the nation. That is punishable by firing squad.

So they said they are worried about leaks while they were leaking?.............

Success with Flynn leads to new efforts with other people. DO NOT GIVE THEM ONE INCH. THEY ARE NOT HONEST BROKERS.

It seems so obvious, just fire the all of the Obozo people. This isn’t hard.

Perhaps if Trump starts PROSECUTING leakers instead of just firing them, things will calm down. MAKE SOMEONE AN EXAMPLE, TRUMP!

This death by a thousand cuts. Endless leaks, continued delays in key appointments, Congressional GOP leadership that seems to be slow walking legislative initiatives, open resistance by employees in various agencies. Trump needs to be far more ruthless than he has been and he really needs his own internal security employees to run down these leaks. I don’t have any confidence in the FBI, the NSA, the CIA, etc. They can’t be trusted IMO.

I want to believe that they have found out who the leaker is, as if it’s only one, but the link you provided the story there does not provide any evidence of how they proved it it’s just an allegation that all Intel crosses his desk so it must be him and it doesn’t even say that it just says all Intel crosses his desk. It never even says it has to be him because of that

Amen. I am getting SICK of it. This is the enemy from within and they are becoming quite successful.
