Chief of staff Susie Wiles, President Donald Trump’s closest aide, and FBI Director Kash Patel helped personally orchestrate a sprawling investigation last week at the White House aimed at determining who in the government leaked information about the security deficiencies of a Qatari-gifted airplane meant to be used as Air Force One – with some officials being asked to turn over their phones to investigators on White House grounds, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

    Organizations with bad leaders leak because no one believes in doing the bad things that the bad leaders want.

    And this organization is leaking like sieve.

      Since the Donvict’s incompetence in picking leaders has gone as expected we ought to expect the leaking to continue. They’ll put a hand over one of the many many pinpricks and declare victorious mission accomplished. Another reason for Trumpepstein to be jealous of ‘Obamna.’

        To be fair, Obama was also very harsh towards whistleblowers

    LoL, good luck. When you piss off everyone, then everyone is gonna be wanting to piss on you. Metaphorically speaking, of course. I’m not kink shaming.

    So like, sure Trump might love to fly in this and have some wink wink nudge nudge… okay well ignore that part, has a blatant deal with them, I can’t imagine how any other president/vice-president would ever fly in it. You could never really trust that the Qatari couldn’t somehow disable the plane at will.

      Or, far more likely, installed some devious listening device somewhere that records and occasionally phones home.

      Had any other president even accepted it, they would have excoriated them. And rightfully so.

      This fucking guy gets a free pass for the most egregious corruption that this nation has ever seen. It’s sickening.
