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.
Organizing for Action. Obama’s network of activists.
The person, he/she, is a blogger...
He has not fully served his usefulness. Time is, however, running out. President Trump will move him on with appropriate accolades.
Yeah, I get that that is the theory for having him there for now—but I think they could have got as much as they are getting out of Congress without him—that is, with someone else.
Oh, well. We’ll see.

LOL!
I’m sure it’s already up on You Tube. But you’ll need some antacid to watch.
Apparently, I missed Rush... The most interesting thing that I noticed this morning was what the commercials say about Wallace's audience... Pimple cream and dating websites. Apparently the show is targeted for a younger crowd. And the reporter/expert covering Trump they have speaking now is a woman who looks like she is barely more than 20, same with the guy talking about illegal immigration.
There was one TV news shot - close in - of the Oval Office some weeks back - when Trump was on the phone... I saw it on a network (not Fox) Trump was talking on the phone. You could tell it was a very long distance shot from the quality of the picture and the ‘shaky’ feel to the picture.
Trump needs to put mirror window film on the windows and close the curtains at night. Eavesdropping is happening and our corrupt CIA should be stopping it... if they're not the people behind it..
Thanks TLS!

Ping to leaker -—possibly-— ID’ed !
Operative word —possibly—
Look for confirmation, check conservative treehouse, etc.
No need for the media to go through all that, when all they have to do is pick up the phone with Priebus, Walsh, etc., call.
Roger Stone seems like a nutjob to me. And those stupid looking George Burns round glasses don’t help any.
I'll bet he did!
(he probably doesn't get a lot of dates)
Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Be careful what you say
Or you’ll give yourself away
Odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow
We can only hope what a love opportunity to seed some fake news.
Trump needs to have the entire White House swept for hidden mics & recording devices, continuously!
I remember that. Hell, even NFL coaches have enough sense to cover their mouths when they talking on the sideline about plays.
Walsh was a #NeverTrump Republican during the campaign.

Then how in the heck did she wind up in the WH?
So we should trust her and this story over Trump?
And she has more insight unto this than Drudge?
I think not.

If possible, I would be looking to hire people retiring from the military who have had security clearances.
