JUST IN: The Trump White House has caught reporters SPYING on Karoline Leavitt, putting their ear to Leavitt’s office door during sensitive conversation with CABINET secretaries.

As a result: “We’ve had to chase reporters down who started strolling into restricted areas towards the Oval. Total absence of boundaries.”

The press acted like jackals and truly abused their privileges. This is what they get.

LynnB: How juvenile, unprofessional, sneaky, and unethical. It is apparent that integrity, honor, and decency have all but disappeared in journalism. These "spies" need to be outed by name and permanently banned from covering the White House!

They should never have had that much run of the place to start with.

All press should be put in an outhouse outside the White House/
I don't see why they should be within the White House at all.

BREAKING: The Trump administration has just BANNED reporters from a part of the White House after several members of the media were caught “secretly recording video and audio,” and taking photos of SENSITIVE INFORMATION without permission.

Reporters have also spied on private, closed-door meetings and wandered into restricted areas near the Oval Office, and have been seen “ambushing” Cabinet officials after private meetings.

JACKALS!

“They should never have had that much run of the place to start with.”

Yes. Incomprehensible. No sense of honor whatsoever.

President Trump’s desire to be the most open and accessible presidency can create a more lax attitude. Of course the MSM will take advantage of that. Trump’s people have finally decided to do the right thing to stop this. Now they need to find the leaks within the Whitehouse employees (and cabinets assistants).

They need to put up secure doors with a security access, like a guard, or electronic locks. THAT will put a stop to it.

@PressSec

Kick their asses out for good and keep their organizations out for a month - then give their new reps back-row seats and require them to wear dunce caps... and forbid them to ask any questions for a year.

So many questions about why & how this was "allowed" to happen, and I'm betting other Freepers have already asked them so I'll hold until I get to the end and see if they've been asked.

I'm betting they have been.

Weren’t a bunch of folks thrown in the gulag a few years ago after being let into federal buildings? Surely this is worse.

This is why Hegseth restricted the press at the Pentagon. They want this access to record and find people to talk and give out classified information. I can not enter the Pentagon unless I tell them where I am going and who I am going to see. On my one and only visit I was escorted by a Sailor to meet an old friend in her office. I was not allowed to just wander the halls especially the command deck. Yet reporters demand to be allowed to go anywhere because they are the press. No they are entitled to a briefing not unrestricted access. Remember the lowest classification is not Confidential, it is For Official Use Only FOUO. Every email I sent had that along with the law at the end of the email. I knew a young Marine who went to the brig and received a Dishonorable Discharge for selling an Unclassified NATOPS Manual to a “collector.” (NCIS Agent) His lawyer argued it was Unclassified and outdated. He lost because the manual clearly stated FOUO. My point is the press has been gaining access to this stuff for years, it is the source of many leaks and it needed to end. WH needs to do the same. Build a separate Building for the press pool and restrict access to the White House proper. Convert the current press room into a SCIF so future Presidents cannot reopen it. At a minimum lock the doors in the press room that lead to the halls of the White House.

This was NOT treason, it may have been reprehensible, it may even have been against the law, but it wasn’t treason.

US Constitution

Article III, Section 3, Clause 1:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

Far as I know the US isn’t at war

I don't see a problem with reporters pressing their ears against the wall/door of a room they were permitted to be in.

Better than sitting at home in their underwear making up Pulitzer prize winning articles.

Thank you for you input, Chief...:)

Excellent explanation of the nuance of this situation.

Most normal people who have any common sense at all can understand we shouldn’t have Leftists patrolling the hallways of the White House and the Pentagon, because they have no loyalty, dedication, or respect to the Constitution or even its principles.
