White House says it's investigating leaks

By Jordan Fabian - 02/09/17 04:49 PM EST

The White House says it is investigating leaks about President Trump's calls with foreign leaders.

“We’re looking into the situation, yes, and it’s very concerning,” press secretary Sean Spicer said when asked about the leaks. “Some of them are done in a way that the release of that information is clearly a breach of a lot of protocols and laws.”

Spicer did not reveal any further information about the nature of the investigation.

The spokesman said Trump is personally troubled that the details of his talks with foreign counterparts have become public.

“Of course, he’s concerned by it. The idea that you can’t have a conversation without that information getting out is concerning,” Spicer said. “We’re trying to conduct serious business on behalf of the country.”

Private industry has been way ahead in controlling leaks of information.

I know that many investigations start with spreading a false rumor of data from the top and released only to specific ‘trusted’ people in the organization, and await to see if that information is released outside the organization.

Trump should have outside experienced professionals conduct internal investigations and, not just the usual government FBI empty suits and other Government investigator ghost pay rollers.

Regarding the leaks on Flynn,

Tony Shaffer, former CIA analyst and retired U.S. Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel, told FOX Business Network,

“I would put this right at the feet of John Brennan and Jim Clapper and I would go so far as to say the Obama White House was directly involved before they left. Ben Rhodes and those folks… The Democrats are behind this and some of the Republicans are involved with the leaks. So I say ‘Bring it on!’”

Many believe that NEOCONS and Obama hold overs are behind anti-Trump leaks. But, other insiders may also be the source or sources.

“Early in this race, Donald Trump laid down a marker on foreign policy against the Iraq War and foreign adventurism in general, and a lot of the neocons in Washington didn’t like it—at all. And still don’t like it.

Yep. Compare Obama’s speech when he seized power in 2009....if only the establishment were ready to fight that wickedness.

Instead, they fight against a man who wants to return America to greatness.

The American people will not be pleased if their hatred continues.

The other thing you do is make slight changes to each piece of information provided to potential leakers. The changes can be minor - slight grammatical errors work well. These act like fingerprints.

While you are at it, look into why our spy agencies were spying on the incoming administration. Only an idiot cant see that this was not some random happenstance. It was our intel community TARGETING Flynn.

That’s banana republic.

By saying ‘What did the President know and when did he know it” was a reference to the Democrats big hope, another Watergate.

“Sen. Howard Henry Baker Jr., the leading Republican on the committee investigating the Watergate scandal surrounding President Nixon, asked the seminal question at the hearings: “What did the president know and when did he know it?” Above is a clip of Baker speaking at the hearings in June 1973.
