A little before 8 am, Trump decided he had enough with all these news stories about Russian influence and dishonesty within the cabinet. Grabbing his phone, he begins by letting loose a stream of tweets voicing his displeasure with the obvious source of the problem.
Leaking, and even illegal classified leaking, has been a big problem in Washington for years. Failing @nytimes (and others) must apologize!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 16, 2017
Even illegal classified leaking? Say it ain't so, Donnie!
That's right! You catch those low-life leakers, Easy D!The spotlight has finally been put on the low-life leakers! They will be caught!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 16, 2017
Needless to say, I don't too many people are buying the very weak attempt a misdirection. The guy that not more then six months ago was praising leaks, now is upset with them?
Let's entertain this for a second and say he needs to go after these low-lifes. First, Trump probably wants to look into the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act and Presidential Policy Directive 19, which expands the Act to cover government workers that handle classified material. There's a pretty good chance those will come into play, as Donnie cleans house...not his house, of course...all those other people's houses that have it out for him.
Next, he's going to need to distance himself from the leaks. They all seem to point to him or to those around him. It makes the administration look like they may be responsible for the leaks.
Perfect! Everyone knows there's no evidence that the administration had any connections to Russia. All Democrat smoke and mirrors to make the hurt of such an embarrassing defeat in the election go away. They need to come back to reality, the people have spoken, they all wanted the Trump brand! No blatant lies of Russian connections is going to change that!The Democrats had to come up with a story as to why they lost the election, and so badly (306), so they made up a story - RUSSIA. Fake news!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 16, 2017
