Many people were wondering why the White House was holding back on calling out the congressional intelligence oversight gang-of-eight regarding their political unwillingness to review the same executive intelligence previously reviewed by House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes.
Today, you just got the answer.
White House Deputy Chief-of-Staff Katie Walsh was fired today immediately following a New York Times report which outed two National Security Council members as the source for Devin Nunes “tip” to review a specific batch of President Obama’s executive intelligence. The transparent sequence of events reveals that Walsh was the source of NYT reporter Maggie Haberman’s article; (Walsh and Haberman are “friends”).

Trump plumbing
Trump needs to be doing more of this, MUCH more of this and lay off the Freedom Caucus.
I’m not understanding. So Trump fired her for leaking info that was favorable to him? I’m not the sharpest knife. What am I missing?
I would imagine that Reince Priebus is squirming more than a bit right now.
Fine, but Reince Priebus must be made to answer for Katie Walsh!!
He brought a rabid Never-Trumper in as his DEPUTY Chief of Staff and she turned out to be a leaky traitor. This is either outrageous incompetence or else worse by Rinse.
Leaking is wrong. Period
Yes, this very bad news for Priebus...
Ping..
She leaked the names of 2 whistle-blowers.
She leaked the names of the two guys who tipped off Nunes. No harm to Trump or the two guys, but it was completely unnecessary and probably vindictive.
Walsh was Priebus associate. Trump needs to dump Reince and all other RINOs. They cannot be trusted. They are out to lead him in the wrong direction.
Donald wants to control the release of the dialogue. He has reasons to let the left make fools of itself prior to correcting it.
The Trump lovers at Conservative TH (i.e., sundance and his band of, cough, cerebrals) are spinning this as some brilliant plot by trump to gain leverage over Priebus.
Right. Sure thing guys.
Trump: “We must fight them (conservatives) in 2018!”
holy crap...
On second thought, there’s also the possibility that these names were leaked deliberately, to give Nunes the cover to bring them before the committee so they can spill the beans on someone.
They had suspicion that she was the leaker, but apparently no real proof. So they launched a fairly sophisticated sting operation with the Nunes gambit.
One by One taking them out. Who is next? Tic, Tic, Tic....
Everyone who has exposure to criminal penalties for leaking desperately needs to know what the evidence against them consists of so they get their stories straight and avoid perjury claims without having to admit more than the evidence against them proves.
She leaked protected whistleblowers to the media.
It was important to keep their IDs quiet.
