Not only it's official as it's on Portuguese news too. Grin

Ah. The ultimate accolade! Grin

I wish someone would leak Theresa May's conversations with Trump.

Ooooohhh, someone is NOT going to be happy with THAT!!!

Roussette · 04/08/2017 21:10

Knew Newsweek cover was official. I laughed. Lots!

Lweji · 04/08/2017 21:11

No wonder Sessions is getting tough on leakers. HBO is not happy.

Lweji · 04/08/2017 21:18

If you're a leaker, though, The Guardian wants to hear from you. Shock

Mr Colbert on those transcripts.

orlantina · 04/08/2017 21:34

If a journalist leaks something that is useful to the White House, will they be prosecuted and will the leaker be jailed?

Will all leaks be investigated? Or just the leaks that are harmful to Trump?

Silly Billy! Grin

There has been an interesting discussion on Lawfare about leaks, the damage they can do and whether the present circumstances mean they are needed.

Thank goodness for that Orantina.

There was something said, lion, along the lines of 'The markets can remain irrational for longer than you or I can remain solvent'. In any case, 45 doesn't understand finance. He really doesn't.

PerkingFaintly · 05/08/2017 00:10

Woah.

In the BBC account of four unnamed leakers being charged,

"Jeff Sessions said the suspects were accused of divulging classified material or concealed contacts with foreign intelligence officers...
"He said there had been a "dramatic" increase in recent months of unauthorised disclosures to the media and even foreign adversaries."

US attorney general says four charged in crackdown on leaks
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40829559

So... this isn't just (or at all?) about leaks to journalists - which of course we tend to know the details of, as they get published. This is about people who aren't Trump giving material to foreign powers.

PerkingFaintly · 05/08/2017 00:12

"concealed contacts with foreign intelligence officers" sounds like Jared and Don jr's meeting with the Russians, that they were too busy to remember had happened.

cozietoesie · 05/08/2017 00:17

And meanwhile, Mr Mueller and his people just work away. Smile

lionheart · 05/08/2017 00:24

Yes, they do. Smile

McMaster the top Kremlin target since he knows the threat Putin represents. He's also the target of the Bannon right—not a coincidence.
