Yesterday Lifezette<\/a> posted a story about problems with leaks in the State Department<\/a>. This is a security problem as well as a political problem. We need to remind all those in the State Department that they work for the President. We also need to remind them that they are not the elected President and do not have the authority to run the government. Leaking information for the purpose of embarrassing an administration you don’t like should result in job loss. Hopefully under President Trump, it will.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Serious leaks have rocked the White House<\/a> and likely sent top staffers searching for the individuals in the West Wing and Cabinet-level<\/a> agencies responsible for the disclosures \u2014 some of which\u00a0may have included\u00a0classified information.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Washington and the diplomatic enclaves across the world were jolted on Wednesday night when two reports \u2014 one by the Associated Press<\/a> and one by The Washington Post<\/a> \u2014 outlined what Trump said to the leaders of Mexico<\/a> and Australia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Since Trump took\u00a0office on Jan. 20, the administration has been plagued by a number of leaks about the internal process. Some leaks have panned out, while others have been hotly denied by the White House.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The leaks include: a charge that Homeland Security Secretary<\/a> John Kelly was not briefed on the executive order on restrictions on travel from seven predominantly Muslim nations; a charge that Trump ended a call with Turnbull; a charge that Trump said he could send troops to deal with Mexico’s “bad hombres”; and a charge that Trump asked U.S. Judge Thomas Hardiman to drive toward D.C. to increase speculation before the selection of Neil Gorsuch<\/a> for the Supreme Court<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no excuse for this. Cleaning up the worldwide mess that President Obama<\/a> left behind needs the full attention and cooperation of those in the State Department. Using leaks to destroy a President for political purposes is not patriotic, in fact it borders on treason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
