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.

Before I retired, and for close to 40 years, I had wear a coat and tie everyday. As soon as I would leave work, the tie came off, and when I got home, I would relax in my sweats, my jeans, or (gasp), my bathrobe.

To try and make an issue out of how the President relaxes and watches TV, is ludicrous.

At least he’s not burning up big bucks in AF1 to go “golfing”!

The media really is a bunch of sophomoric imbeciles aren’t they?

Trump White House besieged by leaks

Given the so-called "intelligence chiefs" under the previous 0bama regime, it would not be a surprise to find that bugs and taps were installed by the CIA/NSA/FBI prior to the kenyan vacating the premises.

That is really a ridiculous story. Shorts, sweatpants, whatever...you can’t go to sleep in a suit and tie.

That’s what I was wondering, whether there might be “bugs” in the WH.

Most of what are characterized as leaks are no more than lies. Fake news. Concocted out of thin air by the MSM.

There is no source ever named. Fake news!

Since when does the media hate leaks? I thought leakers were called “unnamed whited house source”

If the WH wasn’t completely swept for bugs on 1/20 some one needs to be fired and keel hauled.

It’s not just the lyin’ MSM—it is the mole-ridden WH. Both Obama holdovers and GOPe apparatchik aides brought in by Priebus.

Trump better fumigate and fumigate fast.

Trump should do 1 on 1’s with any suspect and give them each a different juicy false story to SELL to the MSM. Problem solved:-)

...time for bug sweep....set a trap....and fire his/her azz....

President Trump did exactly that with some meeding his first week in office. He did not inform his staff of the meeting but the press was present: Leak! That was shen he got really down on the scribblers.

“people just making sh!t up?”

As evidenced by the idiocy of the supposed leaks. They’re about as believable as the Golden Shower and certainly more boring.

He seriously needs to take the walls down to the studs, national security is compromised. Renovate the entire building.

Donald really needs to fire the leftovers of the previous administration and any newbies who think leaking stuff is OK.

Look for hidden Bugs and cameras, I’m sure some of this crap was left behind by the many traitors who were the previous residents. Get new phones, headsets, computers etch in all sensitive areas.
