(CNN)President Donald Trump, showing his outrage over Bob Woodward's explosive new book, is ordering a real witch hunt in the West Wing and throughout his administration, asking loyal aides to help determine who cooperated with the book.
...
Even as the President publicly fumes, he's privately on a mission to determine who did -- and didn't -- talk to Woodward, CNN has learned.
"He wants to know who talked to Woodward," one of the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity amid the highly tense atmosphere in the West Wing in the wake of the book.
The search for leakers inside the administration contrasts with the White House's defense that the book was fueled by "disgruntled employees," offered by press secretary Sarah Sanders and others.

(4,723 posts)1. I can't imagine what it is like the White House
I'd guess it looks somewhat more chaotic than the scene in AIRPLANE! right after the flight attendant asks if there is anyone on board who can fly a plane. Trump thinks of everyone in the executive branch as his imperial retainers, all he cares about is their loyalty to them. I'm sure when people are mocking and going behind the back of a malignant narcissist, it is one ugly thing to behold when he or she finds out about it.

No telling what that syphilis-addled lunatic is going to do over this. Whatever it is, I don't believe it's going to be pretty.
