The Trump administration is placing an immediate gag order on offices within the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

According to an internal email an anonymous source within the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) sent to BuzzFeed News, scientists within the office are now under an indefinite gag order. The ARS hasn’t tweeted since prior to Donald Trump’s inauguration.

“Starting immediately and until further notice, ARS will not release any public-facing documents,” wrote ARS chief of staff Sharon Drumm. “This includes, but is not limited to, news releases, photos, fact sheets, news feeds, and social media content.”

That is a perpetual problem in DC. It leaks like a sieve.

The problem is: sometimes those 'leaks' are intentional and sometimes they are not.

Could this President even get any better?

Yes, he can and he will and I will continue to be astounded.

Now get the NSA to tell you which one of the Buzzards leaked the email to Buzzfeed and we are one less Federal employee.

You’re Fired! BOOM.

If this isn’t “fake news”, I assume that this gag order is temporary, until Trump gets his people in place at those agencies?

Somebody doesn't understand what it means to have a gag order.

Drain the Swamp!

Chain-of-COMMAND. Works great when used right.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Unless they all have private servers, it should be possible to determine who sent the email to BuzzFeed.

Thank You God Almighty for President Donald Trump. Shut them down or clean them out. No more tyrannical dictates from these rogue agency hacks.

[Qiviut]

The Huffington Post reported that the gag order was leaked to an anonymous source on Capitol Hill by another anonymous source within the EPA, who refused to identify themselves, fearing retaliation.

********************************************************

The only reason this was leaked was to undermine the Trump administration. The leaker should be fired.

Immediate, indefinite, and until further notice.

Come on. I read the first paragraph or two if its posted.

Usually.

In other words, he’s getting more truth to ponder than he could have imagined.

We need to pace our win. I can’t take much more of this.

Climate skeptics always called “deniers” in these kinds of articles.

BuzzFeed? Some random news blog?

Will need an actual source.
