Trump has been the biggest leaker from the very beginning. Every night he retires to his bed to eat McDonalds and call all his super-rich ‘friends’ and blabs everything to them. He blabs classified information to the press and anyone around who’ll give him the time of day. He’s probably passing information to Putin while being strung along on that offer for a Trump Tower Moscow that never somehow materializes.

So yes, I am forced to agree with Trump; arresting the “very important leaker” would be terrific indeed.

I saw Jesus Christ Superstar at the Lyric last month and I STILL can’t shake the tunes. It’s maddening. Then, yesterday, I heard the insipid “Kars for Kids” jingle on AM radio. That’s an earworm that should be made illegal, and the promoters severely punished.

Lunacy, sheer lunacy.

It appears the Leaker-in-Chief doesn’t have a clear working definition of what leaking actually is…

Former Senate Intelligence Committee staffer James Wolfe, was arrested on Thursday evening by a federal grand jury in Washington

I’m fairly certain that the grand jury did not arrest Mr. Wolfe…

He wasn’t arrested for leaking classified info. No evidence of it. He was arrested for lying to the FBI.

Interesting. So tRump can give highly classified intelligence to the Russians within the secrecy of the Oval Office, yet he encourages others be arrested for leaking investigative documents on his effort to sell out the country.

Try again, Donald.

“It’s very interesting, they caught a leaker in a very important — it could be a very important leaker, so it’s very interesting,”

Please won’t someone help him?! His speaking is awful!

I’m a big, big believer in freedom of the press. But I’m also a believer in classified information. It has to remain classified. That includes Comey and his band of thieves who leaked classified information all over the place. So I’m a very big believer in freedom of the press, but I’m also a believer that you cannot leak classified information.”

Does this include revealing sensitive Israeli intelligence regarding Syria to the Russians?

How many republicans do you think didn’t receive tainted Russian money? Especially if the Russians were using the NRA to launder contributions.

I always find Trump quotes amusing since the Great Mango Menace seems incapable of stringing together coherent thoughts. “It’s very interesting, they caught a leaker in a very important — it could be a very important leaker, so it’s very interesting" is just another example of his word salad approach to communication.

He might as well say something like: “I’m very interested in things, especially interesting things. You know things are things, right? Very interesting. Could be a leaker, might not. Leakers happen, very interesting. Classified information - you know leakers are things too, right? - classified information happens. It’s classified you know. Very interesting.”

Trump is one of the very few people who can almost - almost - make Sarah Palin look smart by comparison. Almost…

Soon Rudy Giuliani, Preshitident Skanky-Manslut’s so-called lawyer and the First Pornstar’s so-called mind reader will go on Israeli television and say that Preshtident Skanky, having ingested tic-tacs and with his palms moistened with Scot Pruitt’s Ritz Carlton hand lotion moved heavily and begged Putin on his hands and knees, which is exactly the position Putin wanted him in. Giuliani would go on to say that Putin relented, thanked him for his services, then invited him to the Moscow Ritz Carlton and provided him a bevy of leakers who had been fully hydrated on golden vitamin water

We are not dealing with an ordinary puppet folks but a skanky money-grubbing whore. Quite possibly the entire whole family is in the same business.
