I was not paying any attention to any of that Loretta and Clinton and Brazile and other stuff. I didn't care. I still don't.
I DO care about what's happening now, however. So do many other people who didn't bother before. What matters now is what's happening NOW!
So you are suggesting a revisionist history in which leaks you politically disagree with are bad and leaks you politically agree with are good.
Exactly
Just because you did not bother does not mean we all did not bother.
Leaks exposing corruption or crime are good imo......what you posted is neither and was not done for any reason other than to embarrass the current administration.

The time for normalizing, dissembling, and explaining away Donald Trump has long since passed. The barring of respected journalistic outlets from the White House briefing is so far beyond the norms and traditions that have governed this republic for generations, that they must be seen as a real and present threat to our democracy. These are the dangers presidents are supposed to protect against, not create.
For all who excused Mr. Trump's rhetoric in the campaign as just talk, the reckoning has come. I hope it isn't true, but I fear Mr. Trump is nearing or perhaps already beyond any hope of redemption. And now the question is will enough pressure be turned to all those who enable his antics with their tacit encouragement.

It isn't fake. God, xuen!!! You are a real piece of work yourself; you aren't doing ONE DAMN THING to help the quality of this site, or to help people be educated and not fall for ignorant rhetoric. In fact, the typical dross that you dole out multiple times a week (most of which is fake news from sensationalist tabloid sites) is part of the problem.

I think the story is fake too.
No proof anywhere yet.
You may be right, xuen. So far, during today's press briefing, this has not been mentioned (unless I missed it).

I see it as business as usual. Every administration tries to clamp down on leaks and pretending that this is unique to Trump's administration is silly. The article you posted on page 1 pretty well indicates that: leaks have been happening since the Washington administration.
I think it's funny, and it's about time that these grown-ass men get their comeuppance.
the point is until the action is done nobody knows with 100% certainty what is going to happen, you may be willing to judge people by appearance or even just off their words, many of us prefer to see what someone does.

The press did not ask about this during the daily presser?
Seriously?
I would think if a real "threat" was present at this level, the FBI would be investigating.
