-Lurid Crime Tales-
At Least Three Anti-Trump Leakers Identified, Referred to Proper Authorities, Expected to Be Fired Soon
Good, though it's ironic that this information, too, was leaked. Perhaps the secret is that it's more than three.
[BREITBART] At least two separate news organizations are reporting that three distinct leakers have been identified at the White House and that President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
is expected to fire them when he returns from his first overseas trip.

"CBS News has confirmed from two sources that three leakers of classified information at the White House have been identified and are expected to be fired," CBS News reported this week, adding, "Officials within the Trump White House believe leaks of Mr. Trump’s conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov are a ’deliberate attempt’ by officials who are holdovers from President B.O.’s administration and are trying to damage the Trump presidency."

In addition, this week, chief One America News Network (OANN) White House correspondent Trey Yingst also reported that three White House leakers have been identified and referred to the proper authorities.

Yingst wrote on Twitter that the three leakers have been carelessly leaking classified information to hurt President Trump politically and that Trump is expected to fire "multiple people" connected with the network of leakers upon his return to the White House:

#1  Is it just me, or do you think these fifth-column members will head off to some cushy job that has ties to Soros?
Posted by: gorb || 05/28/2017 4:30 Comments || Top||

#2  That is their hope to find a cushy job but I suspect jobs for these people are filled already and are in short supply. No golden parachute for them. Certainly they can't be trusted. Their mouths move too freely.

#3  They can always add a few administrative jobs to some university's roster - it's just jobs for PhD that are in short supply in that milieu.

#4  If there was any justice at all, the Right would use some of the Lefts tactics
No. We do not go there at Rantburg, Hupeart Thaitch2372. No threats of violence against Americans. We ban for that here.

#5  I think their next jobs should be breaking rocks.

At some point in time, Trump will have to take this fight directly to Soros despite his son-in-law Jared Kushner and Treasury Secretary Mnuchin having past business ties to Soros. Soros is a lynch pin of the left.

#7  I think their next jobs should be breaking rocks being Big Leroy's wife...

#8  So, is this story maybe another leak positioned to maybe force someone to move where they should stand pat?
It all turns into head games at some point.

Even better.

#10  John,

I believe you are on target. At some point we have to take the fight directly to Soros. How we let a foreign national, living in a foreign country, have so much freedom to tear up our democratic processes is beyond me.

Freeze his assets under RICO? Declare him persona non grata and put him on a no fly list? Help Hungary prosecute him? Invalidate his non-profit status? Dig up some dirt on him about his Nazi years and prosecute him for his years as a prison guard?

#11  I believe Soros is a naturalized citizen. So, a traitor

#12  Good. Now hang them from the front of the White House as a warning to others.

New $80M Anti-Trump Network Spearheaded by Soros-Funded Org With Former ACORN Employees
[FREEBEACON] A new $80 million anti-Trump network is being led by an organization whose top funder is liberal billionaire George Soros
...the secretive Hungarian born Ernst Stavro Blofeld-like billionaire who seems to fund every horrible progressive organization you can think of...
and which employs former members of the controversial and now-defunct Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).

The Center for Popular Democracy Action Fund, the 501(c)(4) sister organization of the Center for Popular Democracy (CPD), a New York-based nonprofit that receives the bulk of its funding from George Soros, announced at their spring gala Tuesday that they will be heading up the new $80 million anti-Trump network that will span 32 states and have 48 local partners, CNN reported.

The network will seek to mobilize new voters and fight voter identification laws. It will also focus on gerrymandering and automatic voter registration programs with an eye on the 2018 and 2020 election cycles.

Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.), the deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee, backed the new effort.

"This national network, led by working class people of color and immigrants colonists, will supply the power and the fight we need to resist the Trump administration's all-out assault on American values," Ellison told CNN. "I look forward to standing with CPD Action's leaders in the streets and in Congress to win real progressive change."

#1  Soros is an enemy of the American people. He does not have our best interests at heart.
Posted by: JohnQC || 05/28/2017 9:41 Comments || Top||

#2  He's an enemy of a lot of folks, JohnQC.

Ask the SoKors, Indonesians and Thais (plus a few other SE Asian folk) about what he did to their monetary systems in the mid-late '90s.

That being just one example of many.

#3  Trump is lawyering up. Not necessarily on the defensive, either.

Looks Like The Media Spread Another False Story About Trump
[DAILYCALLER] A BBC news hound kicked off an international firestorm Saturday morning when he claimed that Trump chose not to listen to a translation as Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni was speaking at the G7 summit.

BBC diplomatic correspondent James Landale tweeted a "short clip that sums up" the summit, attaching a video he claimed showed Trump had "chosen not to hear a translation of his Italian host’s speech." From the clip Landale tweeted, Trump appeared to be the only world leader not listening to a translation through headphones.

Journalists around the world quickly ran with the story that Trump was snubbing his foreign counterparts, using the one tweet as evidence. Landale’s tweet, meanwhile, was quickly shared thousands of times across Twitter.

"Trump obviously speaks fluent Italian so there is no need for headphones for translation," Huffington Post politics editor Sam Stein snarked.

UK newspaper The Mirror ran a story titled "Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’caught pretending to listen’ at G7 summit ‐ after crucial mistake ’gives him away'" that was based entirely off of Landale’s tweet.

German newspaper Der Spiegal ran a similar story, claiming Trump was disinterested in what Gentiloni had to say. The evidence for that story, too, consisted of Landale’s one tweet.

There’s just one problem: Trump was listening to the speech through an earpiece in his right ear, according to press secretary Sean Spicer. "As usual [President Trump] wears a single ear piece for translation in his right ear," Spicer said on Twitter.

#2  Trump's so awesome that he only needs one ear to understand the translation!

#3  "He was listening to it translated into Austrian"
Posted by: Frank G || 05/28/2017 7:51 Comments || Top||

#4  At this point, I assume all Trump stories are lies, totally made-up bullshit, or spin from someone trying to shop some story. I do like the part where the press is destroying the last tatters of their credibility, though.

Dear Uncle Walter Cronkite must be face-palming from beyond the grave

#5  LOL -- Trump should issue an executive order every time the press writes something bad about him. Let's see who runs out of ink first.

My Googling skills may be deficient, but I see lots of article about Trump not listening to Gentiloni's remarks, but no transcript or summary of Gentiloni's remarks. Somebody wasn't listening.

#6  I see lots of article about Trump not listening to Gentiloni's remarks, but no transcript or summary of Gentiloni's remarks

One doesn't let the rabble know what the elites talk about.
