Another "Something I Don't Get" Post

Most of the news out of the White House this weekend seems to be about stopping leaks, prosecuting those who leak, forcing reporters to divulge who the leakers are, etc. I'm not seeing the word "untrue" or any synonym in there very often. They're not saying, "We will prosecute those who leak these untrue stories."

When the full story of the Trump Administration is written, the main "good guys" may turn out to be the leakers — men and women who stayed on to work in a chaotic, hostile environment to serve their country and to warn that country of what's really going on in there. You don't leak some of the things they've leaked unless you think the nation does need to be warned.

I just don't get why Trump and his minions aren't denying the stories more forcefully. Or why they aren't trying to make the case that certain leaks have compromised U.S. security. They say that puts us at risk and then most of us look at the leaks and all we see are tales of Donald Trump not knowing what he's doing or saying things that aren't true. That's the kind of thing that's fine with everyone when it isn't their guy looking like a boob.
