You need to remember the wide latitude you gave Trump to lie and say whatever he wanted without facts, not release his past income tax returns, put his immediate family members in his administration even thought they are woefully, inadequately experienced to be there, and yet maintain a conflict of interest so his and his kid's businesses can benefit by being there, after Trump leaves office and the next president tries any of these things.

Wait - I thought Trump said all the leaks are "Fake News". I guess that con only worked for awhile.

Now he's saying the leaks are illegal - which is another con. Most leaks aren't illegal unless classified data such as Reality Winner releasing classified info. She was arrested for that.

The leaks have been occurring since Day 1. It's driving Trump insane. He and his family have been watching WH staffers trying to catch the leakers. This causes distrust throughout the entire WH and probably causes more people to leak because they are already being treated as an outcast anyway.

I honestly think that the leaks are coming directly from someone in the administration. Thank you to the person who cares about the rest of us and wants us to know the truth.

Right. Instead of being rational and explaining himself, Trump will just have a Twitter meltdown.

Those Twitter fingers of his...

Honest and honorable governments aren't worried about leaks, because they have nothing to hide. The obsession and fury over leaks from Trump and company show how corrupt and guilty they are. It perfectly exposes the volume of what they're hiding.
- Being employed in The White House
and receiving money for what is privileged (discussions) to News outlets is not illegal?

Then why is it in Secret?

After all if it's not illegal they should not be fired for it right?
They would have a legal case in Court that they were fired for selling information to News outlets which is perfectly legal for any employee of The White House to do.

And therefore still be able to retain their job at The White House and receive money from News agencies for their job at The White House too.

Depends on what was leaked. Not all leaks contain sensitive or classified information.

Now, of course - someone, such as Mr. Trump, might not like the leaks*, but that doesn't make them all "illegal". And grounds for being fired doesn't mean something is "illegal", either. You can get fired for doing legal things...I'm not following your logic there.



* because of that, it's obvious why a leaker would want to remain anonymous.

Notice how Trumpers are more concerned with the leaks than the information that is actually being leaked? "Willful Ignorance."

Willful ignorance - The practice or act of intentional and blatant avoidance, disregard or disagreement with facts, because they oppose or contradict your own existing personal beliefs.
Just had a fun conversation with someone who hates "leakers," but thinks those she considers "whistle blowers" are usually treated badly and should be protected. :/
