Pretty indicative of the general moral caliber of people Trump surrounds himself with.

A well thought out policy of denigrating and slandering people and institutions constantly from the inauguration forward doesn't sit well with a lot of people working and protecting America. It's payback time and stuff is gonna happen.

I keep hearing from the talking heads on the cable news networks that the reason the Trump administration is so leaky is that he's put together a team that has various competing/conflicting factions.

The mainline Republican faction, Reince Preibus, Jeff Sessions, and the other Republican political hires.

The authoritarian nationalist faction, led by Steve Bannon.

The family faction of Jared Kusher, Donald Trump Jr, and Ivanka Trump.

Additionally, there's also factions of civilian non-partisan executive branch employees, and, just to round it out, the military faction of all those generals.

Each of these factions is using leaks as a way of competing with the other factions and getting the attention of the President.

To me, this indicates that there's a management problem at the top of the administration. Putting John Kelly in as White House Chief of Staff may resolve these issues by bringing the other factions to heel...time will tell.

Maybe it's simply that Trump grabbed some staffer by the *****, and she's getting revenge with leaks.

It's GREAT according to Auntie Maxine Watters, the titular head of the TDS crew which seem to be prevalent on this forum btw.
Let's see how the next president does when other world leaders refuse to talk unless face to face in an empty room for fear of leakers.
Can't wait to see a few caught and sent to prison for a long stretch...

Look - anyone who would hire "The Mooch" even for a week...shows the world that they cannot pick "the best people". There is almost nobody who left the Trump admin happy.

Even Gen. Flynn said he has stores to tell...but he is holding out because he wants to sell his stories for Get Out of Jail Free Cards.

If the WH was run well there would be fewer leaks. But I think a lot of people fear for our country...add those to the "get back at Don the Con" people who were shown the door and I think it will not stop.

Jeff is out of his league unless he puts the sheets back on and gathers a large group of henchmen together as he did most of his life.
