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.
Blonde hair, relatively good looks, decent figure (it looks)-—you never trust a man’s judgement when that is part of the equation.
Beware either fake news or an intentional operation started by the WH to flush out traitors.
why are they putting up with this, fire the bitch and everyone else involved
Who is Lame Cherry?
Katie Walsh, that little GOPe traitor. I can’t wait for this to go down and see that little tramp taken out in handcuffs.
I thought that too.
Damn, the ol gal busted a nut on this one!
Rush can communicate better in 10 minutes than others who may take hours. Most people do not have hours of attention span available to listen to someone who rants. We certainly do not want to listen to someone full of anger and hate. That is why we turn these clowns off.
By reading the various punditry over the last few days over who is doing the leaking, I’ve come to the conclusion that the truth concerning this matter is only known by:
Trump
Trump’s closest advisers
The leakers themselves.
The rest of this is either fake news or a diversion set in motion by the Trump team to safeguard their investigation.
Apparently, we are to believe KW is so dumb she thinks she can leak stories IN THE OFFICE THAT HAS THE MOST SCRUTINY IN THE UNITED STATES, and we are all too dumb to figure it out that she is the leaker? Please, evidence!
I would keep her “on staff”. Know what I mean?
I would say if there is veracity to this report, that Walsh is in her last days at the White House.
SHE was the one walking with Priebus at the inauguration, wasn’t she? I thought it was his wife, they look alike.
Roger Stone was saying this 2 weeks ago....
This is nothing new or breaking.
I was having breakfast with my family after church this morning and I looked up at the TV in the distant corner (sound off) and I saw exactly what you saw.
Thought to myself Chris Wallace is insufferable then went back to my spinach and feta all egg white omelet.
Wallace looked unhinged in the truest sense of the word. He’s part of the problem.
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!
What a cluster f***.
Trump bettet get things in order there fast
actual quotebut totally agree with the intent;
Farragut could see the ships pulling back from his high perch, where he was lashed to the rigging of his flagship, USS Hartford.
“What’s the trouble?”, he shouted through a trumpet to USS Brooklyn. “Torpedoes”, was the shouted reply. “Damn the torpedoes.”, said Farragut, “Four bells, Captain Drayton, go ahead. Jouett, full speed.”
The bulk of the fleet succeeded in entering the bay. Farragut triumphed over the opposition of heavy batteries in Fort Morgan and Fort Gaines to defeat the squadron of Admiral Franklin Buchanan.
