So I guess Sean-baby Spicer has discovered his staff leaks like a sieve, so he has implemented draconian security procedures including random phone checks on staffers, overseen by White House attorneys.
I’d say the notion of the White House needing its own secret police, barely two months into the administration, gives me a frisson of delight, but it’s more like a full maniacal seizure. 
Calling them ‘secret police’ smacks of totalitarianism, which may upset Trump’s base. I suggest using a foreign language, since most of Trump’s flock probably don’t speak one. Since Trump is German, I suggest Geheime Staatspolizei.
Godwinned in one! 
I’m delighted that information about the meeting to suppress leaks was leaked.
Also that the name of the Deputy Communications Director is Jessica Ditto.
Also that Trump has assured Spicer his job is safe. That will ensure continued hilarity in coming months.
I have a feeling the Cheeto is going to be saying “You’re fired!” more often during his administration than he did in all of his years on The Apprentice.
They had once chance to catch the leaker and they came up empty. They are now screwed because having made it known that there are going to be intrusive searches for leakers, the leakers will now ensure that their future leaks cannot be traced. They’ll be made off premises on burner phones.
Woulda been in zero, if I hadn’t thought ‘gestapo’ was over the top and replaced it with ‘secret police.’
I *try *to play nice. Sometimes.
I think someone’s going to end up saying it to him before the midterms roll around.

OTOH, I take such assurances from Trump as indicating that it’s about time for Spicer to start packing.
Melissa McCarthy is going to have to turbocharge the buffoonery to keep up.
Ditto.
Lord, please please please let Scott Spicer have those initials monogrammed on his shirts.
What/which “secret police” are you referring to? Someone is obviously leaking information, but in exchange for what? Money, power, to pay blackmail?
If staffers are indeed leaking information, those staffers can be fired. If staffers are leaking classified information to those who do not have an official clearance to hear/read that information, those staffers can be arrested.
Assuming that a staffer is leaking information, can you guarantee that the leakers are only supplying information to the news media outlets? Couldn’t they also leak information to China, Russia, Mexico, or Canada? George Soros? Chelsea Clinton?
Where I come from (Earth), investigations of alleged criminal activities are usually carried out by law enforcement officers, not press secretaries.
Note that I did say “usually.” Not 100% of the time, as this story proves.
Yes, it’s sad, if only they had access to some sort of professional agency that they could trust with investigating leaks…
You’re referring to Steve Bannon, West Wing Crime Fighter, right?
They could give this outfit a special codename, like “The Butt Plugs”.
You’re comparing Spicy to to Our Lord and [del]Savior[/del] Entertainer Seanbaby? :dubious:
While I’m glad that you know which planet your on, I’m not sure how it’s relevant to WH leaks? But thanks for sharing.
So far, there doesn’t seem to be any actual criminal activity. Has anyone actually discovered that classified information was leaked to the news media outlets? Or to China, Isle of Lucy, Canada, or Liechtenstein. If actual criminal activity is discovered, I suspect that the FBI, NSA, BATFE, Secret Service, U.S. Marshals, and/or Paul D. Irving will be notified.
If there has been no actual illegal activity, which law enforcement agency do you expect will conduct the investigation?
You left out “To save the country?”
I thinks somebody hacked your account! The only person in this thread who suggested illegal activity was also named doorhinge.
I’m pretty sure they’re leaking it to George Soros and Chelsea Clinton. That’s what I heard earlier, I think.
