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.
Bumping to the top to give all of the leakers heart burn.
A pox on the never Trumpers.
FU too Bill Kristol.

I know that but thanks for letting everyone else know. I was going to insert it but decided not to.
Priebus is under a bit of suspicion because he’s the ONLY higher level person in the White House who never IS and never has been criticized, second guessed or lied about by the fake news media. (Mystery of The Dog That Didn’t Bark).
And .. my question is .. does this info re Walsh/Priebus have anything to do with the planned interview with Chris Christie ..???????????
That does not sound good ..????
Their “condition” is bred by the DemocRAT party who is in charge of “Education”.
I don’t have time to read this whole thread...does anyone know the date this Walsh babe was hired and the day she sat down at her White House desk to begin work? Thanks, Leni
Really ..???? Do these Never-Trumpers have a clue who Pence is ..????
He may not look dangerous .. but he’s not a fool .. and he’s not push-over. You don’t have one of the most well-run states and be a patsy for anybody.
Poor DemocRATS .. their loyalty is always lacking.
And .. it’s well-known that lip reading from a long distance tends to be TOTALLY UNRELIABLE.
But .. as much as the LEFT is lying already .. it shouldn’t be much different.
I agree .. and if I remember correctly, Michelle was off to Europe with the girls, which left Obama there by himself .. plenty of time to have “friends” over to help with the skullduggery.
Do you remember which network?
I am guessing it was on FOX because I pretty don’t bother with the fake news networks.
.
Lets rince Reince!

Oh darn. Sorry you missed him. I think Wallace should be replaced for sure.
Could be - I flip through channels sometimes... if it is FOX maybe Tucker Carlson could pull it up and see who’s behind the feed.
The picture was up close. Another freeper says he saw it too and thought it appeared on FOXNews.

If on Fox I'm assuming there was a collective 'feed'...
Well .. there’s such a variety and level of ideology on FOX, there are only a few of their programs that I watch. I don’t recall seeing it on the shows I watch.
