I like how he said “the only crime so far”. I guess he’s got more plans? Or expects more to be discovered? ---

Have any of the leaks been of classified information[sup]\*[/sup]? Trump may not like it when people on his staff tell the press what he’s been doing, but I don’t know that it’s a crime. - Besides [this one](http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/15/politics/trump-russia-classified-information/index.html), of course. ---

Trump may not like it when people on his staff tell the press what he’s been doing, but I don’t know that it’s a crime. It’s something he doesn’t like and that doesn’t serve the purpose of him getting what he wants, ergo, it’s either a crime or “unfair”. ---

“It’s very sad that Republicans, even some that were carried over the line on my back, do very little to protect their President.” The House GOP is the only thing protecting you. Maybe attacking them is a bad move. But, as someone rooting against you, by all means, keep talking. ---

Guys the problem here is leaks. Let’s stay on point. The problem is not what I’ve done or am doing or might do. It’s that anyone knows about it. As soon as the veil of secrecy is drawn over my deeds, everything will be fine and you will be happy because you will be unaware of any problems. Also, I have Peril Sensitive Sunglasses for anyone who wants them. They are the best Peril Sensitive Sunglasses, made by my top people. Honestly, I wear them myself a lot of the time.
