Eric Trump touched off a heated Twitter conversation about the US media on Friday, after he outed a Washington Post reporter whod apparently been email-blasting Trump Organization employees, looking for whistleblowers.
The kerfuffle began when the presidents son somehow got a copy of an email reporter David Fahrenthold sent to a Trump employee, indicating how to reach him on encrypted apps and leak internal documents safely.
If you ever want to get in touch with me, Id be glad to talks on background, meaning Id never use your name in any story, or tell anyone else that we spoke, Fahrenthold wrote in the letter, according to the image Eric Trump published.
All my contact information is below, including details for how to reach me on encrypted apps, Fahrenthold added.

On the ground but he works for the Washington post and it sounds like hes a butt hole
I wouldn't be surprised if John Philip Sousa had been spinning in his grave for several years...
What an insult to a great march!

On the grounds that...

Even though my dad is a Dean at Harvard, I'm from Texas. Weird, huh..? That's so I can do the whole, "I Am A Real American"-thing. Nice, huh..? Harvard is also where I met my wife.
I am responsible for the Access Hollywood stuff about Trump, and I have a Pulitzer Prize. That gave me a Tast For Tha Biz, I guess you might say, if you wanted to Be All Hard, right?
I think THEY say that, heh-heh.
Anway, I hope you schmucks out there in fly-over country keep having fun humping your sisters and all. Keep It Real, I think they also say, heh-heh.
Have fun screaming for Jesus, playing with snakes and having your Bum Fights, Dummy Freepers..!
I would say that outing reporters who are ethically challenged is,especially now, fair game since a WP reporter printed a off the record conversation by Trump’s receptionist that cost her her job.
Members of the enemedia who abuse the first amendment should be as accountable as a spree murderer using a firearm abusing the second amendment.
It’s one thing if media gets approached independently by a supposed “whistleblower.” It’s totally different if the media tries affirmatively to infiltrate the government to illegally get confidential information. That’s no different from what the Russians and Chinese try to do and should be punished the same way.
The Amendments are like the Commandments to liberals...if you abuse one, you might as well abuse them all.

They SAID Trump was all generous, and stuff, but I had my doubts. I dug. I dug a whole lot, and then I dug more. Reems and reems of docs, I read, trying to prove that the money Trump charitably gave was not actually HIS money.
The WaPo has an enclosed multi-story open area, and they called all the staff together to kiss my a$$ with this award I got, for smearing Trump.
All the important owners and publishers called the ordinary staff and lowly workers and other low-paid idiots to venerate me and see me receive my award, for which I had to pretend to be embarrassed to get, and be all modest, and stuff:

Plus my friend’s daughter and her mother, my wife, were there to see me honored, and stuff.
That may be part of the WaPo job description but it is hardly criminal.
*It is a federal crime, punishable by imprisonment for up to 10 years, to acquire information by means of computer access without authorization or in excess of authorization.
Why would anyone at the Trump Organization have access to government secrets?
GREAT point!! WHO gave him all the email addresses and NAMES???
Soviet umbrella time...
Not saying you are wrong, but I'd let one of those Gitmo camel-humpers into my house before Alexa got its spying ears into my homes...
He looks like a fag, Jim.

Fabulous template for ethical source-building. Thanks for sharing, Eric, The Washington Posts media critic, Erik Wemple tweeted.
Really kind gesture by Eric Trump to publicly recognize @Fahrentholds courtesy and professionalism, USA Todays Steve Reilly added.
I have to ask if anyone would have a problem with this if the reporter was employed at Pravda.
