The leaks are coming from everywhere bc there's no chain of command. There are 3 people fighting for the top advisor position, all 3 have a staff, it's limitless.
He also pissed off the intelligence community and is now feeling the pushback.
I'm thinking it's going to be a ton of leaks while he's out of the country.
The White House isn't a bucket. It's a sieve.
With all the chaos happening around the clock, combined with Trump's propensity of watching the TV to get his info, his entire staff from bottom to top are all looking to save their own hides first every time there is another explosion in the Oval Office.
His senior staff now know the only way to get their advice across to Trump is second-hand, through words spoken by some newscaster, not face to face like normal folks do. So some are leaking what they want Trump to hear to the press. And since no one knows what tomorrow will bring- someone will go, while another will be promoted- some of those leaks have to have some self-serving purpose behind them along with other info.
The junior staffers have an even tougher time of things. Some have been in the White House as paid professionals for decades; their entire career. And some have typed every word every President they have worked for as well. If they can catch a whiff of smoke, it means their career has caught fire and they might be put out real fast. So naturally, a well-placed leak that puts out the smoke could serve them well.
And some of those folks are offended by a bunch of amateurs who are making amateur mistakes and saying things only amateurs would say. They know a real president when they see one, because they have worked for several of them. They are going to leak out of outraged conscience, just like Erik Snowden.
It's easy to forget just how many people earn their living in the White House. There are wait staff, cooks, Marines, Secret Service, clerks, secretaries, personal assistants, general assistants, janitors, grounds keepers, parking staff, greeters, translators, IT workers, Security workers, surveillance workers, and many others. And they all learn a thing or two, and may have some need to pass it along at some time or other.
The only way Trump can ever stop the leaks is total isolation. And that is impossible for any President.
As he continues to grow ever more impulsive and careless, the leaks will grow right along with his actions.

That link is really good. Thanks! It gives you clues as to who is the leaker according to the words they use. For instance, Ivanka likes to use words like, "if you will." She uses elaborate wording. Kushner's speech is characterized by business world buzz words. Bannon talks about strange things, of course, like his weird philosophy using characteristic references. I can't wait to read another anonymous leak and try to decipher who it was who said it.

Everyone is getting mad @ trump so they are leaking stuff ON PURPOSE!!
If the leaked news reports seem bad, wait until the books and at least one movie come out. White House staff have probably been keeping diaries since day one. Leaked books are where the money is.
I am starting to believe the White House is being bugged. There could be a device in anything set up by the passed administration to ease drop on the president.
This is very possible because they have not found the leakers. A listening device can easily be recorded and used against the president. This is looking more like a possibility because we know how Sleazy the left has become.
I just can't fathom how they can't find the source of the leaks with just a small number of people present. Who is leaking all the info?
Same feeling here! Either someone will soon be arrested for leaking classified information or sooner than later the bugging of the Oval Office will come out.
