[laughter] rachel: the problems keep coming. will: that s about a half the time we get to the spend with you, four hours figuring out world s problems. let s figure it out. the latest on air national guardsman suspected of leaking classified docume
i was flabbergast flabbergasted when i had that, what i could find. i didn t really ever, i stuck to what we were doing, but you can find a lot with a certain clearance. will: you know what i think as well, this guy and we ll get to the message in a minute though, but he s not a hero. he s not trying to be a leaker, he s not trying to disseminate to the american people the truth. he s trying to impress by all accounts pete: yes. will: he s trying to impress his buddies on the internet. rachel: yeah. and i think there could be a lot to this. it s interesting how i ve shifted over the years. i remember when the first big leakers came out, you know, i was trying to figure it out but always i have family in intelligence so, you know, i always felt like that was a breach of, you know, you re practically treasonous, righting? you know, you re a ray to have if you traitor if you trade these secrets. boy, i have a hard time looking
shift, and regardless of what was known or not known about porter s past, that doesn t change the fact that he is white house staff secretary, the guy chged with handling the flow of information to the president, didn t have a proper security clearance and even as the fbi says, was vulnerable to blackmail, so it s not clear yet who, if anyone, will have to pay for that specific issue yet. you think, tarah, the problem exists here for porter and not for kelly, do you think kelly is not part of the problem in the white house right now? kelly is definitely part of the problem, and a telltale sign for kelly that he s in trouble is the fact of the alternative facts kellyanne conway is the one out there defending him. how many times have we seen her saying this exact same thing and three, two days later that same person is let go after she s defended them on television? i think there are two big leakers in the trump administration, jared kushner and donald trump himself. there are severa
they are the big leakers and what we hear in the press over and over again is trump is not happy with general kelly s performance. this was before rob porter. we also heard in the papers being leaked, remember jared owned the observer, has vast connections within the media, we keep hearing jared and ivanka aren t happy and are looking for replacements. those are stories planted and leaked and testing the waters. why, in fact, would the president not be happy with john kelly, when he himself is doubling down or was doubling down on his support up until porter s resignation, then you have the president himself doubling down on his support essentially in the tweet he sent out on saturday, saying due process is involved in this whole thing. why would the president not be happy with kelly s performance so far? that and the fact there s not a huge bench of people who are able to do all the things you need to do just to qualify for the trump administration. how many people out there cou
of his financial information tagging reince priebus in a tweet, but later deleted it. he claimed it was misinterpreted as an attack when he intended it to mean that he is working with priebus to find the leaks. scaramucci gave an interview to cnn where he talked about senior leakers in the white house and compared himself and reince priebus to cain and able. elsewhere other white house staffers would not come to the chief of staff s aid. is reince priebus the big leaker, or at least one of the big leakers, because that s what it looks like in that particular tweet that scaramucci sent out yesterday, and according to the national journal, apparently mr. scaramucci did report reince to the fbi as a leaker. i m not aware of the latter. i will just tell i think leakers are easier to figure out than they might think. this west wing is a very small place. does the president have confidence in his chief of staff? look, i think i ve addressed
