White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, like his predecessors, is attempting to plug the numerous leaks to the media coming from anonymous White House aides and Trump administration officials, but his efforts seem to be taking an ironic turn.

And, in fairness, how dumb do you have to be to “out-smart” Mark Meadows? I mean…

Those incompetent spies were geniuses compared to Meadows.
Heck, I’d throw Alfred E. Neuman in there too.

Nice to know there is still someone in there putting Country before Traitorous Regime

We must be ‘of a certain age’ then. It was way too easy to imagine them. (My google-fu is strong.)

…trace the perpetrators by feeding certain staffers information that might later end up in the news…"
It’s a good way to catch spies when national security is in play. With these jerks, it’s just the paranoia of incompetents.

If they weren’t engaged in nefarious activates they wouldn’t have to worry about leaks. But they do. They are wrong and they know it.

This trick is right out of Game of Thrones – Tyrion did it in Season 2, while Hand of the King. For his next trick, Meadows is going to ride a dragon.

They’d be golfing. And STILL cheating.

Oh - ha ha. I guess all that stuff about Russian bounties was just fake new perpetrated by Meadows.

It’s good to know that there isn’t anything else to keep him busy.
The thing is, why would anyone leak something that Mark Meadows told them privately when there are egregious things that a person could leak from hearing it in the break room or from the mouth of the boss. And didn’t a former CoS try this very tactic? How did it work that time?

And Meadows would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for you meddling kids…
