President Trump trimming the National Security Council

[longknife]

A lot of anonymous leakers are soon going back to their old jobs or are going to be seeking work outside the federal government. There are currently 174 at the White House and Advisor O’Brien says the goal is to cut it down to about 120 – the number that was there during the GW Bush administration.

O’Brien started government service in 1996 and was a major in the US Army Reserve Judge Advocate General’s Corps. He’s got a lot of Dims upset because he’s a member of the LDS church.

We still need to know who the whistlblower got his info from. Probably 5 or 6 leakers.

Egads. A lot of anonymous leakers??? And in their anonymity what exactly are they leaking? You Trump snowflakes are too funny, I want to be considerate and not say easily led and rather naive. But.... Americans on the right when they are not full of imaginary resentment over ??? are full of conspiracy nonsense and assumptions about the hidden and made up deep state etc etc. When things don't exist it makes the uneducated easy targets. The Devil would be laughing or maybe jealous.

"Conspiracy theories are first and foremost forms of political propaganda. They are designed to denigrate specific individuals or groups or advance a political agenda. The theory that the Clintons were somehow involved in the Epstein suicide denigrates the Clintons. The notion that the US government staged the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School helped the pro-gun lobby to deflect arguments for greater gun control. What better way to pre-empt calls for greater gun control in the wake of a school shooting than to claim that it never happened?"

'Such beliefs promote extreme political agendas and allow governments to dismiss their critics as cranks.'

Why conspiracy theories are deeply dangerous

"But when we consider the beliefs of other people? It's an epistemic shiit show out there. Astrology, conspiracies, the healing power of crystals. Aliens who abduct Earthlings and build pyramids. That vaccines cause autism or that Obama is a crypto-Muslim — or that the world was formed some 6,000 years ago, replete with fossils made to look millions of years old. How could anyone believe this stuff?! ... No, seriously: how?"

Barr, Huber, Durham, and Horowitz will either prosecute the deep state law breakers, or not. If they come up empty then the "deep state" coup plotter "conspiracy" was manure, but if they actually prove a deep state conspiracy to attack the Trump admin, then you need to fess up that we are correct. Leakers are one way to hurt an administration, and Brennan and others have loyal democrats all over the Trump admin just waiting to leak something harmful. Reality Winner is during 5-years of hard time for leaking, and deservedly so. I hope she has many more co-conspirators joining her in the near future.
Leak prosecutions under Trump chill national security beat

Oh come on now, you know full well and good when they come up empty you will either accuse them of being part of the deep state or say they deep state was too good even for them.
No way you will ever admit it does not exist

Evangelicals have a far greater problem with the LDS than the Dems do. To them the LDS is an apostate cult

You could make every govt. agency cut their manpower in half and save a fortune. I bet it would result in better govt. too. If Trump were President for life we might be able to get these good things done.

I believe that there will be indictments. But in the unlikely outcome that Barr and his crew come up empty, I'll say that the deep state won.
All Trump could do then is replace RBG and more judges, and hopefully win in 2020 and keep replacing deep state establishment plants with populists.
Its a process, a long long process, until all the Brennan plants and leakers are outed.

Believe me, President Trump knows exactly who the WB got his information from, and has known from Day One. President Trump keeps a very tight lid on international phone calls with foreign leaders since the leaks during the first weeks of his reign.

And that's the whole point for the angst in the DOS and Intelligence community. President Trump is really keeping them out of the loop on a lot of information, where they are traditionally the gatekeepers. Realizing how useless Trump has made them, is making them very angry

The IG said the WB worked with them daily and it was common for all of them to discuss daily business on the topics and issues in the dept. It's in the IG' s statement on the WB.

So no one leaked to the WB, according to the IG.
