I've had that feeling since early in this Presidency, when The Princess seemed to be trying to out-do Melania on everything. JK doesn't seem to be a person who has accomplished much that isn't under a cloud on his own.

Sometimes I wonder if some percentage of the leaking is inadvertent. Folks in the inner circle who don't quite have the brains to know when something they say can convey more information that can hurt the administration than they intended.

JMHO

The photos show Ahmed al-Rumaihi, a former Qatari diplomat in the United States and the current head of Qatar Investments - a division of the world’s largest sovereign investment fund - entering an elevator in Trump Tower on Dec. 12, 2016. The visit happened five days after news broke of the multibillion-dollar sale of 19.5 percent of the Russian oil giant Rosneft to Qatar Investments.

Hmm, December 12, 2016...

There was another interesting meeting on Dec 12, 2016 only it was in DC:

DECEMBER 12, 2016 : (WASHINGTON DC : PALESTINIAN MEETINGS WITH JOHN KERRY --See SUSAN RICE, JOHN BRENNAN) In mid-December 2016, a Palestinian Authority (PA) delegation met in Washington with officials from the outgoing Obama administration for secret talks. On December 27, the Egyptian daily Al-Youm Al-Sabi', which is close to Egyptian intelligence services, published an exposé of the minutes of the secret talks. According to the report, by Ahmed Gomaa, the Palestinian delegation included PLO Executive Committee secretary and negotiating team leader Saeb Erekat; Palestinian general intelligence chief Majid Faraj; Husam Zomlot, strategic affairs advisor to Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud 'Abbas; Palestinian Foreign Ministry official Dr. Majed Bamya; Palestinian negotiations department official Azem Bishara; Palestinian intelligence international relations department chief Nasser 'Adwa; and head of the PLO delegation to Washington Ma'an Erekat. The report gave the details of the Palestinian delegation's schedule during the visit, noting that "the Palestinian side began its meetings on December 12, when Saeb Erekat and Majid Faraj met with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.
The next day, the two met with National Security Advisor Susan Rice. The entire delegation met with an American team that included four representatives of the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security, for a six-hour political-strategic meeting. Majid Faraj concluded his visit with a lengthy meeting with the CIA chief." ---------- Egyptian News Reveals Minutes Of Palestinian Authority Meeting With Kerry,Rice,Coordination On 2334 MEMRI ^ | 12-30-16

To: SJackson; Fedora At the meeting, Rice pointed out the "danger" of the incoming Trump administration's policies, the report stated, adding that both she and Kerry had advised President 'Abbas to make no preliminary moves that might provoke the new administration. ***Rice even offered to help arrange a meeting between the Palestinian delegation and a representative from the Trump team***, by enlisting the help of World Jewish Congress president Ronald Lauder. 33 posted on by piasa
