BREAKING: President Trump About To Drop The HAMMER On White House Leakers – GAME OVER!

President Donald Trump has been battling with his own staff after a series of leaks that have come straight from the White House.

The most recent leak led to the resignation of Michael Flynn, former National Security Adviser. Trump is blaming this on the intelligence agencies and has immediately moved to get things cleared up.

From Western Journalism[2]:

After dealing with an intelligence community he believes to be short on loyalty, President Donald Trump[3] is reportedly putting America’s intelligence-gathering agencies under the microscope.

The New York Times reported Thursday that intelligence officials fear that Trump ally Stephen A. Feinberg[4], who helped co-found Cerberus Capital Management, is being brought in by Trump to conduct an oversight review of the American intelligence community.

Although no official announcement has been made, the Times reported that Feinberg has told shareholders he is discussing an undisclosed job with the Trump administration.

Reuters[5] last week framed Feinberg’s appointment as more structural than operational, saying that Feinberg’s role would be to develop a more streamlined function for the 17 different agencies in the intelligence community that collectively spend about $70 billion annually.

Trump, who has been critical of the intelligence community for months, has become even more emphatic in his attacks on leaked intelligence in the wake of the resignation of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was the target of various leaks.

“From intelligence, papers are being leaked, things are being leaked; it’s criminal action. It’s a criminal act, and it’s been going on for a long time before me, but now it’s really going on,” Trump said Wednesday.

Trump’s own selections to oversee intelligence issues are caught in the confirmation logjam. Trump picked former Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kansas, to run the CIA and former Sen. Dan Coats, R-Indiana, to be the director of national intelligence.

Pompeo had his confirmation hearing last month, but has not been voted upon by the Senate. Coats has not yet had his confirmation hearing.

Hopefully, Trump figures out who is the source of these leaks, because their attempt to score political points could eventually result in the release of some classified information and put people in danger.
