I don't trust supposed White House insider leaker stories
There are, first of all, very few on the inside. The who are there are in deep and are true believers.
I may be overly suspicious, but I think a lot of what gets reported as leaks is intentional disinfo. That was the case when Russia was running such things in the campaign. I think it is still the case today, although maybe not Russia so much as President Bannon himself.

1. I agree. It's interesting stuff but it should be viewed with skepticism.
No, no, no, no, you gotta believe it, it's all true, trust me.

I believe RoguePOTUSstaff is a Russian disinformation account, and I'll prove it. (Bear with me)
** They've been quoted on MSNBC - when will the media get it, we're being multilevel trolled by these fake entities

4. I think they
believe that we, the audience, can only handle simple information bits and only present what the owners allow anyway. Remember, there are only some five entities who own all of our major media. They are complicit to some degree as well.

3. I wouldn't totally discount them...
Those who leak are oftentimes like the attention from reporters, especially if they know it'll make news.
You can take them with a grain of salt, but I wouldn't ignore them either.
No, no, no, leave the salt on the table.

11. definately
we can only trust if those people come out publicly. Do not trust anonymous sources. We are better than this.
Uh, the track record of the primitives on Skins's island most definitely shows they're not "better" than this.....

12. Me neither
I'd rather stick with proven news sources.
Well then, why don't you?

Why didn't STC chime in on this DU thread (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028538309), dtj's chortle-fest over the leaks.
Thing is, between the "leakers" and readers/hears is the MSM. They threw off pretense of being non-partisan during the campaign, and have been tripling down, as open opposition to Trump. And their pride and hatred are so hysterical that they will bite on almost ANYTHING they think can squeeze into their Hate-Trump narratives. The MSM are nearly DU-grade gullible. So the leaks may be real (I doubt many, if any, are), they may exist solely in reporters' fantasies, and the MSM folk may be being trolled.
I'l take "D.) B & C".

Is this similar to some other guy reportedly playing 3D chess?
