Graham, Corker call for firing of "leaker" of Trump call transcripts
CBS News ^ | August 3, 2017 | By Emily Tillett

Some lawmakers on Capitol Hill are outraged over the publication of transcripts of President Trump's calls with foreign leaders and are calling for the swift termination of whomever might be behind their release.

"Can you imagine being President of the United States, having a conversation with a foreign leader. And that conversation being divulged to the media? It's just not fair to President Trump. The person who did this may think they have a noble outcome in mind, but that is just chaosm," Graham told CBS News on Thursday.

Graham added that he hopes the administration finds out who the person was that gave the details of the calls to The Post and find out and "gets punished."

Democrats are Democrats first.

Being an American is way down on their list.

They have no fear of correction.

Uh...scuze me....

There were 2 sides to those conversations.

Why couldn’t the leakers be from MX and AU?

Lindsay Graham is globalist RINO scum.

If POTUS cannot converse with world leaders in full confidence, it is a national security issue.

Swift termination of leakers? Nice try, Linda. Try arrest and prosecution.

Yes, very likely the leaker snatched this a long time ago and is no longer there.

Not necessarily the phone instrument itself. Those are easily replaced. The NSA could have intercepted and recorded it or it may have been captured via a bug planted in the Oval Office. Given the volume of the leaks there is some sort of bug capturing these conversations.

Plenty of people would have had access to the transcripts, from the SecState all the way down to note-takers and typists. Any one of them could have mailed copies anonymously to the WaPo. So unless the leaker was extremely careless, he probably could never be fingered by the FBI.

Trump will be leaving the White House soon for an extended period of time so the West Wing can be refurbished - heating and cooling. Good time to implant state of the art undetectable listening devices.

Trump should buy a burner phone and make his important calls via that route. He'll probably be a lot safer doing it this way than with government equipment. I say this somewhat in jest since it would probably violate some worthless government rule, but nothing else seems to be working.

Should not be discussed, because your idea might undermine the conspiracy theories being promulgated on this thread.

You think the NSA is doing the leaking? You may well be correct.
