US
Donald Trump -- President
Rex Tillerson -- Secretary of State
H.R. McMaster -- National Security Adviser
Dina Powell -- Deputy National Security Adviser
Missing? Jared Kushner -- Trump's son-in-law and top aide

Russia
Sergey Lavrov -- Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Kislyak -- Russian ambassador to the US
A slew of other unidentified Russian aides

No one seems certain about Kushner

I'm thinking not Pence himself, but his staff and he instructed them to do so....and they may have several sources in the Trump Admin making it hard to find out a "single" leak. Pence led the transition, so he essentially has his people, those who do the essential but non-public face time stuff....but your Bannon, Conway, etc. are the prominent names that are known and associated with Trump...and will be the ones to go down.

between Bannon and jared? It ended up with Bannon taking a backseat. We know Bannon's dislike for Jews and he has to be seething. Not long after the leaks started about Jared.

can be clever, devious and stupid at the same time. I have not ever seen 1 republiklan politician that displays any sense of correctly figuring out the real life consequences of their actions. If they believe it so, then it must be so.

I think Bannon is relying on jared to fall on the sword when the time comes. He just may.

The cynic, sarcastic side of me says HELL YES trump would welcome it. That means he gets Ivanka all to himself. Or maybe Ivanka wants a divorce and her husband in prison will make it very easy for her to get his assets and leave him holding the debt.

there'll be 20 of them.
Another question is who will be at the center of the upcoming movie (on your screen within a year). Watergate was shot under the perspective of the "two guys". How about this time?

or even the future of the country with Russia screwing with our elections.

Possibly someone like John McCain or one of Comey's underlings, or a judiciary committee veteran. I'm not equpped to suggest a name, but there might be one gop veteran with a conscience who didn't take the russian money.
