I thought struck me as I was listening to conservative radio talk show host Eric Erickson on the drive home yesterday. He often goes on about people he checks with "inside the White House" and yesterday he was citing 4+ sources claiming that Jared and Ivanka are after General Kelly and exert too much influence on the President.
The thought was "who are these sources and why are they leaking that sort of info". Then the thought occurred to me that EVERYBODY in the media cites such sources. When you jump from from CNN, NYT, Wa Po, MSNBC, and all the talkers on FOX , etc. , etc., what conclusion should we come to?
1.) Everybody that ever sets foot in the White House runs and leaks info
2.) There are only a few leakers that are talking to everybody they can?
3.) These people are making this up?
It disturbs me to consider that there are abundant loose lips in this White House, when there seemed to be none in the Obama or Clinton WH. It took Secret Service guys to write about Hillary throwing lamps and such in the Clinton WH. You never heard squat out of the Obama WH.
So what is it? People can't wait to talk about Trump OR there are moles everywhere that should be purged OR this is all BS made up?
Seriously, I don't think ANY President should have this sort of leaking going on. Not Obama, Not W, Not Bll, and not Trump.

If he is that man, then you have your answer, It is ALL BS. If he is NOT that man, then he needs to be replaced.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Which that raises another question about Fake News: Does anyone really think Trump is swayed by his daughter and/or son in law? Let's be serious, Trump? You can bet that The Don is the one telling them how to run their lives, not the other way around.

I'd say it's a coin flip, about 50% is pure unadulterated BS and 50% is mole driven.
Pre Gen. Kelly there was quite a bit more 'mole driven' leaks, it seemed to start slowing the day he started.

Yes, Sloppy Steve Bannon, he is the one that started this ball rolling and he added fuel to it every chance he got.

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

I'd be fine with Jared disappearing and never being seen again.

I long ago quit giving Ericson any credit for anything he says. I'm also in the Atlanta area and used to listen to him while driving but got tired of hearing him brag about his sources in the White House, the Senate, Congress and (IIRC) two Waffle House waitresses telling just him what's really up. Couldn't stand Hannity for the same reasons.

If they don’t name sources then it’s probably fake news. Only way I’d give it credibility is if it’s being reported by someone with integrity. Eric Erickson isn’t someone with integrity. He’s a sbmf cuckservitive nevertrumper.

How can they be "after" Flynn? He resigned a year ago.

The main reason why reporters "protect their source" is because they pull stuff out of their ass.
