There has to be a mole but of course the Trump humpers are convinced it is President Obama's people sabotaging him.

Like specifics on policy.

But the type of things bEing revealed sound like staff that sees the place doesn't have it together.

They likely have served in similar roles for both sides and this is something they have not seen before.

But we are dealing with asshats and idiots as well as ruthless people willing to justify and rationalize anything with the magic R.

Why would he take a 24/7 job with what was clearly going to be a turf battle. He could be doing a victory lap (even though they lost seats in both houses) with donors? Making big pay speeches.

I think he inserted himself as a control. I think that's why Romney tried to become SoS.

There was clearly going to be s turf war between Trump's trusted family and Bannon - say what you want he's a smart guy who realize that Trump can be manipulated and knows how to do it. Rense or the RNC establishment wanted in. A 3 way split as opposed to a binary 50:50 battle.

BTW - I think Bannon is as linked to the Russians as anyone else in Team Trump.

none of Obama's people are there now. Who's he complaining about the maids, cooks, butler, and other government employees that take care of the place.

which led me to thinking about 45 screwing over little people, those people who clean his toilets, change his sheets, cook his food and how far actual betrayal could go. After a dust up at some restaurant in France Obama's staff admitted he traveled with a food-taster. One on staff in the WH wasn't addressed. Which led me to this thought.
Do you think he has someone taste all his food? Maybe he should...

Probably pure fantasy, but a couple of days ago I thought Jared Kuschner was the mole. Only out of greed and self-interest and to protect his and Ivanka's fortunes and futures. Probably not though; he's too dickish.

Nixon knew he had them and was utterly paranoid about it.

Dick Helms knew Tricky Dick's every move.
