Has Kelly turned the leaking faucet wide open?

WaPo was given the transcripts of Trump's conversations with the leaders of Mexico and Australia. There's people in Trump's circle who really have it out for him and I am glad of that.

2. How is reporting what actually happens in the White House leaking?

We have a president who is beyond paranoid. He is a public servant, not a CEO.

And this is not leaking classified information, like Cheney did in the Valerie Plame situation.

8. I wouldn't be surprised if it was both Priebus and Spicer.

Either acting together or separately. I suspect there are others, as well. Melanoma and/or Jared, perhaps?

4. Thinking maybe Preibus

Kelly is a puppet who sees everything in black and white. He's pro_Cheeto all the way.

Preibus is the "establishment" (seen that word used often re: Preibus) GOP. The enemy for the white nationalists (I'm not going to use alt-right anymore).

Embarrassing leaks about Trump are coming out and Kelly can't stop it. After awhile Trump replaces Kelly .

When will the Putin call transcript be released...waiting for the prime time hour??

If he's that dumb to have such damning conversations with Mexico/Australia, then why not have a super damning one with Pooty? Like "thanks Vlad for getting me here, now let's get to work..."

10. I'm betting it's way more than one.

Hell, one of them could even be Putin, himself. No telling what kind of bugs his toadies placed in the Oval Office during their last visit.

12. White House plumbers

While I'm all for Ms. Navarro's snarky comments about Trump, the last time the White House had plumbers it didn't work out so well.

On the other hand, maybe she's right if it'll hasten Trump's departure.

13. Dolt45 demands perfect loyalty but does nothing to inspire it

He blows fits and has snot slinging tantrums when he thinks anybody crosses him in any way. He is not the kind of man who inspires anything but loathing in the people around him who aren't related to him or religion addled simpletons like SH Sanders.
