An email from President Donald Trump’s White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles ordering staff to stop leaking to the press was leaked to the press on Friday.

In the directive, written in late March and obtained by Politico’s West Wing Playbook, Wiles warned that “no staff member within the Executive Office of the President is permitted to speak with members of the news media without the explicit approval of the White House Communications Office.”

“Unauthorized leaks will not be tolerated and are subject to sanction up to and including termination,” she continued. She added: “Violation of this policy can result in significant disruption to ongoing operations and can potentially endanger missions and activities of national significance.”

One person familiar told Politico that Wiles had become “generally very frustrated with leaks,” though the directive was not tied to any single incident.

1. Well, leaks seem to be the only way we the general public get any info on this criminal organization.

"Most transparent administration" yeah, sure, jan.

[Whip-poor-will]

2. wrong

If you're doing nothing wrong there would be nothing to leak, now would there ?

Free speech !st amendment

3. To the leaker: Please leak the Epstein files.

[NJCher]

4. I heard a good explanation

For when there are a lot of leaks. I think, but don’t quote me on this, that it comes from Andrew Weissman.

It’s when the staff feels things are out of control.

5. Don is the biggest leaker of all times

Can’t keep his mouth shut.

[PatSeg]

7. That is so true

He really can't help himself.

[BigMin28]

8. Because

he is deranged.

[PatSeg]

10. And it isn't just dementia

Underneath the dementia, he is seriously deranged and probably always has been. The dementia is letting the crazy come to the surface.

14. Incontinence leaks matter.

18. He never could.

Before he was so obviously dementia-addled, even before he was involved in politics, he was a shameless gossip in NYC. He was constantly spilling tea (some true, some completely invented) to the NY Post. During his first term, he repeatedly revealed highly confidential national security information to people who had NO f*cking business hearing it, like Merde-a-Lardo sycophants and KREMLIN emissaries. Why? Because he believes it makes him look important, that his in-the-know info drops impress people and elevate him in their eyes. “I know something you don’t know! See how powerful and important I am?”

If the leaks embarrass or diminish someone other than him, I’d say there’s a better than even chance he’s the source. If they make HIM look bad, 100% it wasn’t him.

It’s a function of his twisted pathology.

[PatSeg]

19. That is true

He certainly is a "shameless gossip". He really doesn't seem able to control himself, as if the filter from his brain to his mouth is defective.

Now with age and dementia, there appear to be no restraints whatsoever - the flood gates are open and all the crap just gushes out of that weird little mouth of his. I wonder if he knows the difference between thinking and speaking out loud.

20. Doubtful

[flamingdem]

15. Depends..

11. Information is like pee

You can hold in only so long.

[Brother Buzz]

12. Damn, I thought this was gonna be an Andy Borowitz piece

[Americanme]

13. Headline made me laugh.

If any administration should have leakers, it is this one. The orange moron has long had an obsession with NDA's and leakers. He doesn't want anybody telling the truth about what goes on. Sure does seem to have a lot to hide.

[riversedge]

17. I had a good chuckle also when I read it.

[Delphinus]

21. Just

had to laugh at this!

[Evolve Dammit]

22. I find mild humour in this somehow. Leak away!!

[Devilsun]

23. When this abomination ends the rats will run

To the weak ass press and divulge all of the unseemly details!!!

[barbtries]

26. they'll write books.

tell all books. for money. heaven forbid they should let the country know what goes on in that formerly hallowed house, now a palace of intrigue led by a mad king.

[JoseBalow]

24. Yo Dawg

[barbtries]

25. the most transparent administration in the history of humankind

is so devoted to secrecy.

gawd i hate republicans

[aggiesal]

27. This is so Irony Deficient, it made me laugh. n/t

[Skittles]

28. I am saluting the leakers
