Yes. And we have a stronger right to know government information than information from private entities. The government works for us afterall.

Never has a U.S President sounded like more of a whiny bitch. He sounds more like a Reddit crybaby than a POTUS.

The DNC's response to the hacking scandal was idiotic. That's not to say that I downplay the seriousness of another country trying to impact our elections, but for them to simply whine about the Russian's hacking while totally ignoring the context of the leaks was incredibly stupid, and I don't think it did them any favors come election day.

Anybody with half a brain agrees with that. And the same standard holds here. Trump bitching about the illegal leaks (however justified he may be to do so) while ignoring the nature of the leaks looks imbecilic.

Cute. Almost as cute as when Obama came to Ukraine's defense to force Russia out of Crimea.

Oh, wait...

Poor deflection but weak sauce. Did the leaked emails during the campaign originate with our own intelligence services?

I can only assume from your post that you support our intelligence agents leaking confidential information to the press. Am I right?

I don't think the CIA is involved. He just needs to go to the FBI, the NSA, etc and tell them how big his inaugural crowd was, too. That should be the end of this nonsense.

I guess the litmus test of this board of " the source is irrelevant so long as the truth is out" only applies to democrats. When it comes to treason, it is ok for Trump to commit it.

Even if such info is classified? I like to know what's going on internally as well, but I'm just stating the law.

They can't whack him if his conflict with them is out in the open.

I don't know, but it's a convenient means to withholding information. In this case, leaking Flynn's communication doesn't fall under the legitimate withholding of information.

And the law was probably broken in both instances.

But all especially being equal, we have stronger claim for the access to government information.

Yes, he should be pissed at leaks, but leaks happen in every single administration.

I also believe that he should address the leaks and their merits instead of doing what he also does and deflect or skirt the issue. Instead he just has Spicer do it and/or just sends out cry baby tweets.

No sir. As reported by many, they do not happen at this level!
