White House paranoid: 'Everyone thinks they're being recorded'
Source: Politico
Paranoia is enveloping the White House and President Donald Trumps network of former aides and associates as Robert Muellers Russia probe heats up.
Former national security adviser Michael Flynn agreed to cooperate with investigators as part of the plea deal he reached last week, adding to the worry already inside Trumps circle surrounding the secret deal struck earlier this summer by former campaign aide George Papadopoulos, whose cooperation was kept quiet for months before being unsealed in late October.
Both cases raise the possibility that other current or former colleagues have also flipped sides and they're prompting anxiety that those people could be wearing wires to secretly tape record conversations.
Everyone is paranoid, said a person close to Trumps White House. Everyone thinks theyre being recorded.

This is just another example of how stupid Trump and his associates are. They broke laws thinking they were untouchable. It's about time they found out what criminals they really are.

(30,613 posts)Paranoia can be a perfectly justified emotion, or it can be a groundless, disordered, illusion. In the White House right now, I think the former applies.
That is in addition to the fact that the person at the top clearly exhibits a personality disorder (NPD in his case).
