The Associated Press released a story on Friday claiming the Trump administration considered a proposal to round up illegal immigrants using as many as 100,000 National Guard troops. Now sources are saying perhaps several different versions of this memo were drafted up to smoke out the leaker.

Leakers just can’t help leaking. Their mistake was they leaked it to the press.
All this for a simple typo?
Really?
I just finished reading two threads that were littered with typos. Nobody made a big deal out of it. Posting comments is more casual than life-or-death. People understand.
Most people, anyway. Others just cannot control the impulse to overreact and insult. Sad.
He read Without Remorse by Tom Clancy, if true.
These reporters are wusses, it shouldn’t be hard to beat a confession out of them.
Damned defense contractors!
Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em!
“Propane torch and a pair of vise grips.”
I’m okay with that, as long as there is no waterboarding.
It does a couple of things...it puts leakers on notice that the bosses are watching and it puts the media on notice that the info they are getting may or may not be true and that their tarnished reputations may further be damaged for printing “fake” news!
This method of outing spis is not secret nor can it have any but a positive effect when used.
Depite what some here think, there is no way changing words around can protect leaker since under this method only ONE person has info on the particular subject being used in the sting. As soon as a story appears in the media on the subject they are toast.
Yep, needed his own Attorney General and Justice Dept. The New Sheriff has his posse. Scouts Out!

Only one guy in the Wermacht military counterintel was cued in—and after all the disinformation, no one on the staff would listen to him including von Rundstedt.
“John has a long moustache.....” Love those releases of the actual radio messages in clear. Old school.
Dear Stentor— never attempt humour that parodies a root meaning of a mis-spelled word with a totally linear thinking person. It is hopeless. Linear thinkers are quite useful for certain jobs, but not... 3D chess. Enjoyed the exchange tween y’all.
Like a quote from “Bandit” with Jackie Gleason (with a very poor ‘southern’ accent that made it even funnier) as the sheriff, and his radio dispatch who, in tracking the Bandit—Jerry Reed, uses the phrase “it’s not germain”... to which Gleason replies— “what do the gol durned Germans got to do with it”. That sort of thing.
The Trump security people taking control, even by divulging the methodology- puts the scare in press scuzz to “make” them do honest reporting and give up on their agenda (fear of failure, though most have never let the facts get in the way of a story, or even the implication of a fact).
Sort of like the intro to the “Outer Limits”....”there is nothing wrong with your television set— we will control the horizontal, we will control the vertical”... etc
LOL. It was textbook. All I could think of was Eric Burdon.
I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood.
Well, it won’t be county mounties and orange jump suit. Not for espionage. That would be the Fairfax County, “rocket docket”... used for spies like the Walkers, and Aldrich Ames, and includes leg and arm chains— shortened to force the perp to shuffle... can’t walk. Must shuffle. Nice image to look forward to with a certain ms. hum-a-weiner and her girlfriend diazapam doll hitlery.
YES
The real question is:
Can the country survive if scum like Hussein Obama and Hillary are NOT locked up?
but part of the group that needs to be imprisoned
That was all AP “enterprising” reporting. They listed the states they believed would be covered by the memo, added up all their National Guard units, then worked off of that total. At no point in all that enterprising did they notice that the memo made reference to governors, not the President. Nor that it made 287(g) training available on a voluntary basis, nor that there was no reference of “rounding up” anyone, nor that what they had bore a strong resemblance of the administration’s first immigration memo and was probably an unapproved alternative draft of it.
But other than that...
If true, there’s a whole lot of smoking out the leakers going on!
LEAKERS BEWARE: DONALD TRUMP HAS UTTERLY DEFEATED THE DISLOYAL COTERIES OF THE US INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
President Trump has defeated Democrats in the intelligence community (IC) who were leaking classified information to the press. Such leaks have been a problem for many presidents, but Trump is the first who took a proactive approach and set up a sting operation that identified the leakers.
Its highly illegal to leak classified information. Its also illegal to PUBLISH this information, but Trump is too smart to try and prosecute reporters.
I thought that Trump would fire members of the IC until the leaks stopped, but the president solved the problem with a much more imaginative and deadly approach: He fed the IC false information. When this information was published, Trump was able to identify individual leakers.
How?
Each group or individual, who leaked was given a different version of events. This is CLASSIC spycraft. If nine individuals are told nine different stories, and then each of those stories is published, you know the identity of each person who talked to the press.
Its called a barium meal, after the medical test used to detect problems in the gastrointestinal tract. Soft tissues dont show up on X-rays. Barium salts are radio-opaque, meaning that they show up in a radiograph or X-ray.
Author Tom Clancy called it a canary trap. You give multiple sources multiple versions of events. When the sources repeat their version word for word, you can identify each leaker individually.
Magic
In World War II, Magic was the code name for the code-breaking done by the US Armys Signals Intelligence Service (SIS) and the US Navys Communication Special Unit. Japanese military code was called Purple. Although Magic had been able to break much of Purple, some things were still a mystery.
Magic determined in early 1942 that the Japanese were close to carrying out a major attack. However, the location of the attackwhich the Japanese called AFcould not be figured out. Therefore the Americans carried out a barium test: Using an underwater cable, they contacted Midway Island, telling the base to broadcast a radio message in the clear that the desalinization plant had broken down.
The Japanese immediately sent a coded message to their forces that the desalinization plant at AF had broken down.
Now the Americans knew that the target of the impending attack was Midway Island. The greatest admiral in the US NavyFrank Jack Fletcherwas sent out to meet the Japanese before they arrived.
