‘I predicted back when Don got the nom, he’d have to do an almost military style purge of the whole of govt, as all three branches are bearing poison fruit.’

That looks pescient in retrospect. It sounds like Tillerson is getting off to a good start at the State Dept. Hopefully the IC is being similarly winnowed.

using as many as 100,000 National Guard troops

Change the number each time, give it to various people, see the number referred to in the leak, bingo, you have the leaker.

100,000 is the AP/Schumer magic number.

First you claimed I “coined,” a word that means “fishy,”—then you become rude because I responded?

What would it cost you to keep it civil?

It would cost you going back to carefully re-read your own post and trying to get my attempt at humor, even if it is a poor attempt.

So if you make an attempt at humor, and somebody doesn’t get it, you unleash rudeness? Does being uncivil make you feel better about somebody not getting your joke?

LOL! Just what I said they were going to do. I'm betting the leaker is a gay guy in the State dept. or a few of them. Can't wait to see him do the perp walk.

Give him an A-4 he is familiar with and tell him to fly back immediately. Tell him refueling will be another the way.

Good bye to a former great aircraft.

Old method still useful in dealing with the ignorant American press. It sounded so unlikely I assumed it was for some such purpose. Hope it yields results.

Being embarrassed by running this story, AP may be trying to redeem itself by running a real story:

The leaker may just disappear. the only sign will be an empty desk somewhere in a federal building now used for a coffee maker and microwave oven
