President Trump slammed the Federal Bureau of Investigation Friday for not being able to control the leaks of classified information coming out of the agency since he became president.

"The FBI is totally unable to stop the national security 'leakers' that have permeated our government for a long time," Trump tweeted. "They can't even find the leakers within the FBI itself. Classified information is being given to media that could have a devastating effect on U.S. FIND NOW."

It’s like commanding Ali Baba to punish the 40 Thieves.

[xzins]

Fire Comey abd his top leadership.

Replace immediately.

[LydiaLong]

Trump needs to hire the biggest brains in Silicon Valley to come and find the leakers. Pay them a big salary.

[Fedora]

Obama opened the NSA’s database to the 15 other intelligence agencies just before he left office, making the suspect list 16 times longer than it should be. One thing Trump should do if he hasn’t already is reverse this policy.

[Nifster]

But apparently he does

I think some people imagine these guys stuck in cubicles all day. Tracking down many leaks is fruitless. Dozens if not hundreds of people have access to the same sorts of information. There is no smoking gun fingerprint on any specific piece of information. These people are in the field, in offices, or even off-duty sharing information in a variety of ways.

This is not a first amendment issue when the information being published is sensitive, particularly if it’s related in any way to national security, and those who publish it should be prosecuted.

If I can be prosecuted for buying a hot stereo on the street even though I didn’t steal it, then a publisher should be prosecuted for receiving stolen information.

Trump is wasting valuable time. He needs to fire the doofus and move on.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I think HOWEVER Trump has Christy in mind!!

There are rumblings out there that Christie is going to move over to talk radio.

[jch10]

I agree. I would love to see Rudy in there. Christie would be OK but not as good.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

GOOD I am not a big Christy fan talk radio is a good place for him !!!!!!

[Behind Liberal Lines]

I’d rather the order come directly from Sessions.

[WENDLE]

I am baffled at Trump’s employment of this Hillary Hack. I assume he got bad advice and failed to follow his flawless instincts. Comey sandbagged the criminal prosecution of hillary’s national security violations , her blatant repeated bibery from foreign governments and her miltiple secret government document violations. He is a pathetic hack who , with his brother had recieved millions from the Clinton Foundation? Trump makes few mistakes. He will have a rude learning experience on this mistake.

Fox guarding hen house.

[RoseofTexas]

Rush is talking about it and he says it’s gotta stop!! He is pissed.. if I’m listening correctly he is subliminal telling us it’s time to make it STOP!!! It’s up to us....ENUFF!!! All we need is someone to take the initiative!

[BuffaloJack]

Although the term of an FBI Director is traditionally 10 years. The constitutional truth is that, any government official who is placed within the Executive Branch, serves at the pleasure of the President, and can be fired “at will”, and includes the Director of the FBI.

Donnie, please can this SOB and get someone who acutally has the will to ferret out leaks.

[blackberry1]

Christy has a future in talk radio...not politics

I’d rather the order come directly from Sessions.

I hope this IS all about Sessions handing FBI a thick stack of warrants to execute, and this harmless leak was planted so whe n the fireworks start over having to arrest friends and cronies, there is a reason to roll heads and claim it was leakers.

When the Immigration and Nationalization Service sent Mohammed Atta’s visa to the Mami-based Huffman Aviation School in March 2002, that was an extinction level event for the INS.

The INS was broken up and its functions were distributed amongst DHS and ICE.

The FBI’s disgraceful performance around the Hillary emails, and now these leaks deserves the same.
