At least two separate news organizations are reporting that three distinct leakers have been identified at the White House and that President Donald Trump is expected to fire them when he returns from his first overseas trip.
CBS News has confirmed from two sources that three leakers of classified information at the White House have been identified and are expected to be fired, CBS News reported this week, adding, Officials within the Trump White House believe leaks of Mr. Trumps conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov are a deliberate attempt by officials who are holdovers from President Obamas administration and are trying to damage the Trump presidency.
In addition, this week, chief One America News Network (OANN) White House correspondent Trey Yingst also reported that three White House leakers have been identified and referred to the proper authorities.
Yingst wrote on Twitter that the three leakers have been carelessly leaking classified information to hurt President Trump politically and that Trump is expected to fire multiple people connected with the network of leakers upon his return to the White House:
SCOOP: Three White House staffers have been identified for leaking classified info. POTUS will fire 'multiple people' when he returns to DC.

Multiple White House aides, asked for comment about the CBS News and OANN reports, declined to comment when reached by Breitbart News.

Fire them now, start prosecution. If they are the leakers.
I think this story is bull until I see these people being seriously prosecuted for national security leaks.
There are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of security clearances that need to be yanked. None of that has happened yet either.

We have too many subversive shadow goverments in this country still working for Obama and Hillary. They have diffused in everywhere. They should have been thrown out and replaced right after the innauguration.

The fact that it comes from cbs almost guarantees it.
But it's a slow news day.

From what I've read, there are a ton of trump appointees awaiting confirmation.
And waiting and waiting.

I've read the opposite: that Team Trump hasn't even submitted the nominations yet.
This seems to be borne out by their failure to even produce the 10 judicial nominees per month as they announced they would do. Assuming the Dims continue their stalling, the Judicial Committee needs to have these underway so they can fill these 100+ vacancies yet this year. No reason not to except Trump's staff can't handle their assigned work load which seems increasingly more plausible.

Even if the story is 100 percent correct,you won't see a single one of them even brought up on charges. What will happen is the Dims in Congress will throw a hissy-fit and maybe even write a special bill to pardon them,and they will all end up with 6 figure salaries at some Dim alleged "Think Tank".
The DNC is just not going to let any of their agents be punished.

Given the strangeness of your reply to my remark, I think we know who is having happy thoughts of romance with Fido.

Mostly true. The GOP and their Party People accomplices had no trouble taking down Nixon,stabbing Barry Goldwater and Reagan in the back,etc,etc,etc.
And they will have no trouble throwing anyone in the GOP to the dogs that gets in the way of globalism.
The GOP leadership is nothing more than Dims in Republican clothing.

LOL! It would take a miracle for any of them to even be fired and fined. I ain't happy about it,but that is the way it is these days. How else can you explain Bubba and Bubbette! STILL remaining free to run around giving speeches and selling access instead of being in Fed Max awaiting execution?

I'm trying to object but I can't muster a much argument to rebut you.
Of Trump's best policy ideas, the Swamp is quite resistant. And this is bipartisan.

I agree. And the profits should go to Trump's re-election campaign.

Agreed. Until names are given and heads rolling, it's very likely BS.

There are so many clickbaity news sites out there, both "mainstream" media and blogosphere that these sites like Breitbart or GatewayPundit or tons of others don't seem to care if they have any real credibility as news sources.
Given the choice between juicy clickbait stories and real news stories with some factual reporting behind them, the majority of websites seem to go for the clickbait every time.
Online news of all flavors increasingly resemble a swirl of turds whisking around the toilet bowl before disappearing down the memory hole of Teh Interwebs.

It's as though the MSM has resigned itself to being labeled "fake news" no matter what they do so they figured, "Well, let's go all in and at least get the clicks".

Read and absorb. This is a home run of an opinion piece by Daniel Greenfield.

Mike Dubke, White House communications director, resigns
Veteran GOP strategist Mike Dubke resigned as White House communications director on Tuesday, Dubke confirmed to Fox News. Asked about reports announcing his exit, Dubke told Fox News, It is true. He added: "It has been a privilege to serve this president." Dubke said in a message to friends and associates that his reason for leaving the post was "personal."

Pretty minor shuffling. Dubke supposedly never made any friends in the Bannon or Kushner camp. Not really pleasing anyone.
Since Spicer won't be doing daily briefings now, he can take up the slack for a while.
No news on whether they will dump Priebus (or make him ambassador to Greece). They did finally formally nominate K. T. McFarland as ambassador to Singapore. And there were rumors that Sebastian Gorka didn't fit in and mostly kept busy giving VIP tours of the White House. Supposedly they are going to find or create a counter-terrorism job for him somewhere. But there is always an ambassador slot if not.
