Have you been wondering why there are so many leaks, supposedly, coming out of the White House? Me too, it just didn't make sense until I learned one important fact about many White House employees. In the past they were appointees and served at the will of the President. After the Nov. 2016 election but before the Jan. 20, 2017 inauguration, President Obama made many of those people civil servants. It is a much different process to fire a civil servant.
In my mind, that was done to continue the surveillance of Pres. Trump, to impede his agenda, and to create chaos. If those employees can't be fired, send them to the back 40 to pick dandelions or to the basement to count the bricks. They may have to stay but they don't have to be seen and heard or to see and hear.
