Trump tells FBI to find leakers of classified information 'NOW'
The Washington Examiner ^ | February 24, 2017 | Kyle Feldscher

President Trump slammed the Federal Bureau of Investigation Friday for not being able to control the leaks of classified information coming out of the agency since he became president.

"The FBI is totally unable to stop the national security 'leakers' that have permeated our government for a long time," Trump tweeted. "They can't even find the leakers within the FBI itself. Classified information is being given to media that could have a devastating effect on U.S. FIND NOW."

The upshot in all of this is that the FedGov employees don’t consider that they work for the POTUS.

POTUS should start at the top and fire everyone, regardless of their union affiliation.

According to CNN, FBI Director James Comey refused that request because the investigation is ongoing.

Why is the investigation still going on? They have had all the communications with the Russkies from the NSA from the beginning. This should have taken three days to put to bed.

Critics have alleged this is an example of the White House interfering in an FBI investigation, an agency that is supposed to be independent of White House influence.

The DOJ and the FBI are part of the Executive Branch. They are not independent of the President, they are run by the President. Executing the laws is the core job of the President.

These people are anti-Americans who are leaking. They’re either the Establishment who want to destroy Trump or Obama leftovers who think that only liberals belong in government.

Time to drop the hammer on these leaks. Charge them with the maximum penalty of the law.

Trump needs to build a experienced counterintelligence team within the White House to ferret out the leaks.

The leaks could be coming from anywhere.

Firing is not good enough. This is Treason. There has to be a trail. No one access information without leaving an imprint of some type. The problem is not the leak. The problem is obtaining information in the first place. Should be easy to find. Unless the FBI scrubbed everything for Hillary and Obama. lots of shreading has occurred. IT guys work for Dems and are Foreign Nationals!
Not too hard to figure this out.

And have the lamestreamers screaming "Plumbers' unit! Watergate redux!"

(Although it might play out differently this time.)

The Donald will take what action seems fitting to the situation. It's good to be POTUS, if the POTUS is good.

Will we have to have innocent people die before they realize that FBI leaks are bad? Our so called intelligence community has become an embarrassment.

We need to significantly prune the FBI, CIA, NSA, and ATF. And while were at it, let’s reduce EPA, IRS, ETC.
