[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Is Trump ever going to just cull the leakers?

He has to have a good idea of who they are. Time to show some decisiveness. He should go all Reagan (as in how Reagan treated the air traffic controllers) and fire all those who are leaking and anyone assisted them. They are not owed a job, they are not legally entitled to a job, and Trump does not have to give cause if they work for him at his pleasure. Do it quick as in ripping off the bandaid.

There isn't a hose/pipe big enough to drain that swamp! Ain't gonna happen. Meanwhile D.C. continues to flop around in neck deep shit just the way those traitors and power greedy fucks like it.

Step 1: Identify the leakers

It's to the point of not needing a leaker to get a leak out. The media will create any leak they like and with 100% impunity. They are the biggest problem now.

They're just whistle blowing patriots like Manning and Snowden.

Seems we change off which one of us is indignant, Philby and Burgess, we had Ames and Walker..........not saying the situation isn't bad but both countries are so close both get over it eventually. Anyone caught leaking vital info about British terrorists should be arrested, indicted and serve a life sentence.If Trump wants to be a successful POTUS and go down as one of the better Presidents the first thing he should do when he gets back is find the leaker and start the proceedings.

Step 2: In the news. 3 leakers are identified and when Trump gets back from his diplomatic travels, they get fired. He may want to look them in the eye.

One has allegedly been ID'd as a Linda Grahnmasty staffer or former who is on the NSC put there by NSA McMasters. Her name is Jessica Phillips Tsyon.

The thread on the alleged leaker.

I don't think trump would leave someone he suspected of being a rat in service

There are two types of people in Washington. Those who leak, and those who wish that had something to leak. It has been going on for decades. It's part of the game. Every single President since at least FDR has leaked information when it suited them.

My guess all along is they have been sitting on them trying to discover all of them, in order to get them all...In other words, when they found the first one, had they nailed them on the spot, the others would have gone covert and made it much harder to identify them, by nothing happening, it may have emboldened the others making it easier to catch them...just my guess...but I bet heads roll soon, and it's more then one..

We can only hope. Obama's last minute EO that expanded the dissemination of intelligence is not helping. Trump should kill that EO right now.

Wait...

So are these "leakers" good or bad?

GD can't seem to make up its mind.

Yesterday we were told that leaking the details of the Manchester Bomber was GOOD.

Now it's bad?

Right now "leaking" is just a game with no serious consequences attached....Unless you are leaking against the Dems.

That would stop (at least slow down) with felony indictments and prison time for leaking classified documents.

put a few leakers away for 10 years and the leaks might subside.

How many jobs are still unfulfilled by the administration, leaving Obama appointees still in charge?

Theresa May seems to feel that it's bad . . .

All depends. A mixed bag.

If authorities use secrecy to hide wrong doings, and to shape the media narrative, which will hurt the nation's civil society , then it is bad.

If they use secrecy for legitimate purposes; like for instance, to help round up or catch the other bad perpetrators and other terrorist cell members then it's good. That's why we need honest people in authority. ...Pretty simple.

definitely bad, it promises to hinder the Brit's investigations, perhaps put their raids in danger, and cause them to lose useful intel.

1.) Say multiple leakers have been identified while Truml is on his trip.

2.) Say Trump wants to do the firings face to face when he returns.

3.) See if anyone quits before he gets back.

I hope that's the case, while he's at it start firing all those who are leaking supposed evidence, rumors, and whispers to the press about the inner workings of his administration.
