Leaking


Today's headlines from the national media are full of the leaked contents of President Trump's phone calls with the leaders of Australia and Mexico. The emphasis of these stories was the disagreements that occurred therein ... disputing the Obama agreement  about taking rejected immigrants from Australia ... and Mexico's inability to stop the illegal drug flows into the U.S. These revelations are of course interesting, but, to me, the real story is the fact that these leaks occurred at all ... see:  Pamela Geller Story.These calls are made on super secure lines which are supposedly un-hackable. Again this then suggests that someone in the intelligence community ... CIA or NSA ... is working against Trump ... a treasonous action. (Otherwise why was the Washington Post the recipient of these leaks)? The main-stream media did not highlight the possible source of these leaks ... just their embarrassing revelations. Interesting?!

Also there have been at least four leaks of the contents of a draft executive orders that were being prepared for Trump  ... see: Red State Story. This is serious but not as corrosive as the telephone call leaks ... because some of the draft leaks might have been intentional testings of their messages. But if these EO content leaks were meant to embarrass or hinder Trump's agenda then they are also dangerous to the administration's path forward ... and I suspect that these leaks will be remedied.

I wouldn't rule-out Russian hackers. Or, maybe his suits contain little tracking bugs put in by foreign dry cleaners. Maybe he forgot and left Nixon's tape recorder running...
