Trump White House besieged by leaks
The Hill ^ | 02/09/17 | Niall Stanage

Posted on 02/09/2017 5:50:15 AM PST by detective

Donald Trump’s White House has sprung a remarkable number of leaks since his inauguration. The question is where they’re coming from.

Barely a day goes by without some unusual tale emerging from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Recent examples in a single New York Times story included the assertion that White House aides have held meetings in the dark because they can’t figure out how the lights work and that the president is fond of watching television alone in his bathrobe.

Trump took to Twitter to assert that the Times “writes total fiction” about him, while White House press secretary Sean Spicer insisted that the president does not even own a bathrobe.

Trump knows how to fire people. It looks like he needs to get a good investigator, see who’s leaking, and then wield the axe.

This is more fake news. They can’t get any leaks, so they make shit up.

not surprising since so many in govt did not want him in there to begin with. So many in govt are liars and will be nice to your face and stab you in back. I would not put it past obama or his people to have left bugs or other methods to spy on new administration.

Did we really think that Pres. Trump wouldn’t be sabotaged by the vicious leftovers from the Obama coven? There should be no union for government workers so that an incoming president could replace the former employees root and branch.

MSM is outing their own. Everything the Libs say is usually backward.Libs are leaking and then claiming it is a problem for Trump. Trump needs to get rid of every holdover.

He and his most trusted inner circle would certainly be clever enough to lay the trap of telling “secret” #1 to Small Group #2, and “secret” #2 to Small Group #2, etc., and see what happens.

In other words, lots of lies coming out from the #FakeNews outlets.

I believe some of this is deliberate misinformation so DJT can see who is trustworthy...he has been in the spotlight for decades—longer than the lifetime of most #fakejournalist scribblers. He can play them.

President Trump is surrounded by the Obama 5th column.

Traitors, spies, leakers, enemy agents, saboteurs all.

They are a great millstone around his neck.

The sooner he cleans them out of the entire federal government the sooner things will start to improve.

The leak of his phone call with France is a good place to start.

Not many people would be privy to such a call and President Trump has already shown he can set and bait a trap with the best of them - consider the Australia call...

Now, a head or two must roll.

It truly astounds me that so many people on this site think everything that is supposedly leaked is fake news. Of course there are going to be leaks. He has many traitors in his midst.

Of course, his administration is going to leak stuff on his behalf. It happens all the time.

And then there is the infamous case of John Miller. John Miller leaked his own tape. Oh , btw, Trump was John Miller.

So between those realities ..it is impossible for the laymen to know what it what at this point.
