Was the Wapo reporters inside the Oval office? Were they inside the West wing? How about the residence?

No. That’s what I thought.

Fake news.

Let’s be real for a minute. Kushner’s family on his dad’s side has been VERY LIBERAL. In fact, it lead to problems between Murray and his brother.

Jared’s brother is a lib. He was seen out during the march this weekend with various excuses from he was just taking a walk to he was just observing. He is dating lib model Karlie Kloss. Jared’s brother is going to have to buy Jared’s assets. I think some of it is going in a trust with his mother managing it..probably another lib.

Ivanka was a big supporter of Corey Booker. She has lib leanings.

Jared has a lot of influence over Trump. So I guess we will see how it plays out.

That said, Trump is what we needed. He is the only person I think in the field that could do this..so more power to him.

It was something President Trump was going to act upon and it got leaked to a reporter before it took place. She made a reference to that.

They should look very carefully for bugs planted in The White House

“This account of Trump’s tumultuous first days in office comes from interviews with nearly a dozen senior White House officials and other Trump advisers and confidants”

A dozen of Trump’s advisors spoke to the Washington Compost?

But Trump was adamant, aides said.

"Aides said"? Are we to believe that three days after the Inauguration, more than one person in his inner circle has become a turncoat? To The Washington Post?

Quite refreshing. A typical Republican would just accept it.

Excuse me .. Ivanka’s “social issues” ARE VERY LEFT WING.

The mole must be the one “speaking on condition of anonymity”. That would piss me off no end if I had a traitor in my inner circle.

What the WaPo hasn’t figured out yet, is that over the past few years, someone who shall remain unidentified, secretly placed a number of moles in the staff of the WaPo, NYT, and others.

I suspect Ivanka Trump is apolitical, rather than “left wing”. I’d bet also that she’d put her father’s success as President — defined as getting reelected in four years — ahead of anything ideological. For example, I’d be flabbergasted if Ivanka was pro-life before her father ran for office, but I doubt she’ll do anything to thwart any pro-life moves Trump makes.

I doubt Trump would be surprised about protests when he’s been dealing with them since day one.

Good point.

I believe there is potential for some truth in this story. It makes sense based on some of what we have seen and some of what we know.

So,,, leakers, double agents, moles, and/or bugs..

I am confident Trump will get to the bottom of it.

And remember, in the past ..WAPO has been an arm for the CIA...OFFICIALLY as in Operation Mockingbird and ahem..unofficially.

I remember Chuck Todd laughingly mocking the ‘failed convention’.

Several weeks ago, the transition team was in tumult...although it looks like this roughshod group of misfits seems to have managed to hit the ground running, getting more ‘done’ than ‘W’ did in his first term already.

Kellyanne said yesterday on Hannity that there is a mole in the group. And that the trump’s team were going to smoke it or them out!!!


Not finding anything googling this. Very big deal if she said it...we need to verify this.

I remember Trump making a complaint about a security briefing becoming news even though he didn’t tell anybody on his staff, and I think the implication (if he didn’t say it directly) was that it was somebody from the meeting who leaked it.

We listened for weeks about the chaos in the transition team - which turned out to be a lie. This is the same thing.

You can bet that Brennan has some of his leftover people in the CIA...don’t discount info coming from them as well.

There will be many seeds of discontent to be sowed in the future.

Trump can really only trust a few people.
