Shortened title.

Full title: As Trump fumes over leak about his congratulatory call to Putin, word is 'there's going to be a scalp over this'

President Donald Trump and some aides were furious on Wednesday after the leak of sensitive notes for briefing the president before a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to aides and a close associate.

The leak appeared designed to embarrass Trump for congratulating rather than confronting Putin — contrary to the notes’ recommendation.

Who are these leakers undermining president Trump?

Why can't the administration identify them and fire them?

Usually the reason the traitor isn’t rooted out quick is because it may be someone you don’t think, and would never think, could betray you.

I suppose a public cutting out of their tongues would be over the top?

When a President wins an election you congratulate them..period..every President does it, when Obama called Putin to congratulate him no one made a fuss, in fact it wasn’t even mentioned in the Commie press, why, because of course they adored Russia then and they loved Obama..now with President Trump, you have people IN the White House who hate his guts, you have the Commie media who wishes him dead, its a lose/lose situation

For some reason I think Trump had this leaked on purpose and there is some end game we aren't seeing yet.

Everyone around me thinks I give Trump too much credit for being 5 steps ahead.. but it makes me feel better :)

Why would Trump be mad over "revealing" that he made a common courtesy call that practically every national leader does?

Since he gets flack for whatever he does, the hypocritical whining from the LSM just gives Trump the opportunity to call the sleazes out and push back against them.

This is another ‘anonymous’ source. I take this as ‘no’ source, but just an assumption by some fake news reporter, in order to continue their ‘chaos’ theory.

“Hmm... He congratulated Putin. I wonder if everyone in the White House agreed? Probably not.”

BREAKING NEWS!!!

When Nicholas Maduro wins his reelection in Venezuela in May will Trump call and congratulate him?

That would be my guess. Especially since the big news is how he ignored his security advisor's advice.

Selfrighteousists whine and moan about good manners when they can’t conceive of being in a position where good manners are required

Why is Trump so concerned with good manners where Putin is involved yet has no problems alienating the leaders of Canada, Mexico, Germany, UK, Australia, Japan, and Korea? Countries that are supposed to be our friends?

It like to know who wrote “don’t congratulate him” on the memo. That could be a set up.
