BREAKING: @Reince’s Gal & @WhiteHouse Chief of Staff @KMWalsh_GOP Is Source Of Trump Leaks (trun)
gotnews.com ^ | Feb 19, 2017

White House Deputy Chief of Staff and #NeverTrump Republican Katie Walsh has been identified as the source behind a bunch of leaks from the Trump administration to The New York Times and other media outlets, according to multiple sources in the White House, media, donor community, and pro-Trump 501(c)4 political group.

“Everyone knows not to talk to her in the White House unless you want to see it in the press,” says a source close to the president. “The only question is whether or not she’s doing it at the behest of [White House Chief of Staff] Reince Priebus or if she’s doing it to advance herself in DC media circles.”

One source in particular stands out: Walsh is close to Maggie Habberman, a New York Times reporter who wrote fawning pro-Republican National Committee stories during the presidential election. Walsh has also planted stories in The Washington Post and Politico.

Walsh is referred to as “Madame President” in the White House, says a senior aide. “It isn’t a compliment.”

Walsh would have significant access as she controls the president’s schedule. There’s also reportedly a trove of e-mails where Katie Walsh and Reince Priebus discuss how to rid themselves of Trump, according to a former #NeverTrump consultant.

“The president and his allies have been deliberately feeding her fake information in order to find her network,” says a source close to the president’s family. “It’s been going well.”

Walsh was a #NeverTrump Republican during the campaign. Neither Walsh nor her family were supporters during the campaign, says a source from Walsh’s hometown of St. Louis.

A White House investigation is planned into Walsh, who couldn’t be reached for comment.

I agree. People here need to get a grip. Reince was good enough for Trump. Now, do you distrust Trump?

On the other hand, vetting those BELOW Trump selections may not be as thorough, as some people (Reince) aren’t as cutthroat or fully versed in Alinskyism as others of us (i.e., Bannon).

Could be Reince just didn’t know. Some people just trust that once give a job, a subordinate will do it to the best of his ability or not take it at all. I know, naive sometimes, but that’s how many people work.

A really huge block of salt for now - compromising Trump's staff is a big part of the fake news crowd.

If true, it will be taken care of.

Some news organization has a state of the art long distance camera aimed at the Oval Office and they’ve hired a lip reader.

"Trump needs to have the entire White House swept for hidden mics & recording devices, continuously!"

I have no doubt that it started from day one, and continues. President Trump has his own security team, and I bet two things are true:

1. All of them would take a bullet for him.

2. He has top notch security experts who know the tricks and where to look for bugs. (And I bet they know how to find out who planted the bugs.)

We know that all the “chaos” being reported at the White House is due to our administration sending out various versions of the stories to find the leakers.

Hope Trump starts sending them out.

We don't know the truth of these statements yet. But to me, it is astounding that people would get prestigious positions like this, and then be disloyal to the point that they face dismissal and lifetime disgrace. And for what? They want to be liked by the DC Media? Good grief!

Yes, who would be so eager to do such things in order to be liked by the DC Media?

“Most (NeverTrumpers) would be very happy having Trump impeached so they could have Pence and are actively helping the dems.”

CLEARLY the case...but the problem is that some are needed, as a conduit to the Republicans in Congress - which is why Rinse is in such a high position. But they do have to smoke out the traitors.

I never trusted him. I’m surprised Trump did.

Reminds me of a frumpy me-again Kelly pre September 2015 before her lesbian makeover minus her hooker makeup.
