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.”

Bannon? Not a chance!

Priebus’s leaks were of the disloyal to Trump, undermining type, but probably not illegal such as the coordinated intelligence leaks.

“My top 2 suspects - Bannon or Priebus.”

Bannon? Come on.

Agree. Priebus and Ryan have the same political DNA. Neither can be trusted.

Look at Brannon’s resume. Then compare it to Rinsed Penis resume.

Lie detector tests for the White House staff and the intelligence agencies.

Reports, such as from Alex Jones and Roger Stone, are that Priebus has been leaking both negative comments about Trump himself to the press—with an example given that Trump was like a “clueless child” in a meeting—and about confidential WH business to Paul Ryan.

“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.”

I agree. Rudy’s security firm might be a good one to hire for this. They’re very involved in cybersecurity, too.

My top bet? Pence. No negative stories about him in the in the Press? When was the last time you saw a supposedly Ultra Conservative Christian conservative not get Savaged in the press? I think he’s the establishment man helping to take down Trump to put the establishment back in control.

Pence is guilty as can be in this. Reportedly Flynn simply told the Russian ambassador that they would talk about things such as the sanctions, which the ambassador asked about, after they were in office.

Then, reportedly, Flynn didn’t specify that the ambassador had brought the sanctions up in such a manner when he was reporting to Pence on the call.

And Pence then made this a code red crisis of confidence in Flynn.

Sickening.

It is relatively easy for Trump to replace his disloyal chief of staff, but his disloyal VP is a larger problem.

And yes, that the press aren’t going after Pence or Priebus at all makes it clear that they are among the troublemakers. However, I doubt they would be stupid enough to commit felonies directly themselves. They probably had the spooks doing that.

Oh, and as next in line, Pence’s motive is obvious.
