The trend in Washington’s “swamp” politics has turned into an insidious game of leaking false and embarrassing information to undercut rivals.
Obama-era appointees such as disgraced former FBI chief James Comey and others have been repeatedly cited for doling out information to the media that may rise to a criminal act. Despite the intensive hunt for leakers, few have been rooted out and none have faced any real consequences.
That being said, a recent news report indicates that the Trump Administration is readying a massive staffing overhaul. Fox News correspondent John Roberts reports that the ire of the president has been set ablaze. White House counselor Kellyanne Conway has gone on the record saying heads will roll over a recent leak about dying Sen. John McCain.
Sources indicate the leak that broke the camel’s back was prompted by an off-color remark made by White House staffer Kelly Sadler. Expecting a certain degree of internal confidence, Sadler reportedly said that McCain has been worse than usual with regard to Pres. Trump’s CIA nomination Gina Haspel and quipped about his probable death due to cancer.
Although Kelly Sadler’s job does not appear in jeopardy, a heated debate about her private-only apology to the McCain family and the hunt for leaker ramps up. But Pres. Trump and White House officials are taking a unique position on the level of leaks and what they are doing about them.
