Leaks continue to plague Trump White House despite crackdown
The Hill ^ | 06/09/18 | Jordan Fabian

President Trump's administration has been plagued by leaks of sensitive information, and the problem is showing no signs of letting up as Trump passes his 500-day mark in office.

The exit this week of junior White House communications staffer Kelly Sadler – nearly a month after she privately made disparaging remarks about Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) – illustrates the extent of the problem.

Sadler was shown the door only after she reportedly accused her own supervisor of leaking during an Oval Office meeting in front of Trump himself.

The White House this week also faced questions over the leak of a controversial memo drafted by the president's attorneys representing him in the Russia probe and aides were forced to grapple with Trump’s rambling remarks during a closed-door hurricane preparedness briefing.

The unrelenting pace of unauthorized disclosures demonstrates how leaking is a feature, and not a bug, of the Trump White House — one that has caused constant distractions and sown distrust among the president’s staff.

This is no longer 'disgruntled', 'concerned' staffers, or holdovers.

This goes 'deeper'.

Is the WH bugged? I would not be at all unhappy if President Trump moved the official residence to Camp David, and for meetings and press conferences etc went elsewhere. Turn the WH into a museum. I don't trust hardly anyone who's a career politician or government worker. I don't trust Jared and Ivanka...are they stupid enough and uninformed enough to say stupid stuff to people they shouldn't be talking to?

Are President Trump, his family, and even the most loyal staff safe at the WH? Am I going too far into conspiracy theory?

Sweep the whole place. Problem is as far as I know that only works for Active not Passive Bugs.

Replace all the lightbulbs with ones purchased from WallyWorld or a local Electric Supply Co.

We will never give up the you commie bastards!

POTUS hasn’t made ending the leaks a priority since it is still going on 500 days later.

If he doesn’t care, why should I?

“Sadler was shown the door only after she reportedly accused her own supervisor of leaking”

She should have gotten a promotion. She called out McTraitor in private meeting and it was leaked.

From the story it seems that Sadler was the one being honest. I bet the person she accused is the leaker.

Keep putting people in jail and the leaks will stop. If you don’t enforce the law, the law is pushed aside. It is the same with illegal immigration. All of this is “rule of law” simple.

To be clear, Kelly Sadler reportedly accused Mercedes Schlapp, wife of the American Conservative Union’s Matt Schlapp, of being a serial leaker.

Well let’s see... reporters f***ing unelected government employees to get scoops.

But it’s all Trump’s fault apparently, not the vindictive and slutty partisan press.

Just my opinion, but Conway is a big leaker.
And her husband is anti-Trump.
Somebody needs to get a handle on who is leaking.
