White House chief of staff Mark Meadows is reportedly engaged in an effort to track down the sources behind recent leaks to the media, putting many staff members on edge.

Axios reported Sunday that Meadows has been feeding information to various White House staffers in an effort to determine which staffers acted as sources for reporters. His efforts come after multiple leaks to the media have resulted in stories that have angered President Trump, including the revelation that intelligence officials reported that Russians were paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.

Another story that has reportedly consumed Trump was reporting earlier this summer that he had been rushed to a bunker in the White House after the protests first began over the death of George Floyd.

In recent days, Meadows has grown more vocal about his efforts to find the sources of leaks among White House staff, telling multiple staffers of his plan, according to Axios.

1. So who leaked this ?

[soothsayer]

2. Ha

[jimfields33]

14. I had a boss do this. It worked and person was fired.

However, like you say, you can’t announce it. It’s a great tool if you do it correctly.

[Cha]

20. That's what I said more or less.. Another LEAKER!

[Kali]

3. the competence of this Administration is just stunning isn't it?

[Grokenstein]

4. Dear Generalissimo Corpulente, I have vital information.

We have reason to suspect that Mark Meadows is the leaker.
Beware! You are surrounded by enemies! Act now if you want to survive!

[luvtheGWN]

5. So he's telling multiple staffers about his plan to catch the leakers?

Golly gee, that's sure to work.......

[lagomorph777]

27. Looks like Lincoln Project's "Whisper" ad is taking its toll.

[Moostache]

6. You have no idea how much I want the leaker to be Ivanka...

THAT would be Shakespearean ... picturing Trump as an insane tormented fool is almost as good as waiting for the announcement of his fatal heart attack on the toilet...

[alphafemale]

7. Seeing dtrumph mad with grief to the point he face jousts an adder?

That would almost make all of this worth it.

Almost.

Would it be televised?

9. Well, we found the leaker. It was him.

Meadows clearly reaches the low bar of intelligence required to work for Trump.

[Cirque du So-What]

10. What do you wanna bet

the intelligence community has done the same thing with little lord lardbritches to catch him passing secrets to pooty-poot? If so, we need to hear about it...

[Baked Potato]

12. Could be some of that in the redacted portions of the Mueller report.

Or, in the investigations we will never know about.

[Cha]

19. IT would be the really

smart path to take.

[Mz Pip]

11. If you're so worried about leaks

Then maybe whatever it is that your doing needs to be leaked.

[asiliveandbreathe]

13. Meadows and his baffoon think the admin/staff..intelligence etc etc...are as stupid as they are...

I will just remind Meadows it was the buffoon who "leaked" classified info to the Russians..on second thought, change "leaked" to leaks..

Pendejo (stupid), all of them, comes to mind..

Now, Meadows, rather than focus on the shiny object..can we get back to the russians paying a bounty..for the death of our US soldiers..

[mahina]

15. I bet he's one of them. Btw, way to build trust in the team.

NOT

[greyl]

16. Feeding them false info, right? I don't think article makes it clear,

but way to root out a leaker would be giving them uniquely and specifically false information.

[Hekate]

31. Shhhhhh. You'll give him ideas.

I’ve actually long thought that myself, but apparently they haven’t gone 100% Soviet Union yet.

[Cha]

17. LOLOILOL.. Another LEAKER.. Keep It UP!

[KPN]

18. LOL! This is actually hilarious. I'm having visions of Inspector Clouseau. Too funny!

Elmer Fudd also comes to mind just now. What a frigging comedy show.

[lapfog_1]

21. Mark Meadows

as Tyrion Lannister "The Hand of the King"

on who was betraying him to his sister...

[Historic NY]

22. They have to do the reverse dipsey doodle...

let some people are saying rumors.

[Mr. Sparkle]

23. "telling multiple staffers of his plan" , i think i see the flaw in his plan !

[Champp]

24. Sneaky bastards

Totally Republican. No honor. Sad.

[Doug.Goodall]

25. It looks like Meadows has a leaker on his own team.

Maybe Meadows should close his own back door before he looks to close Donnie's.

[Talitha]

26. It's probably Dumpy himself, yakking on the phone all day!

[JohnnyRingo]

28. The problem apparently isn't the scandals...

... it's us finding out about them.

[BadGimp]

29. A modern day Snipe Hunt eh...

Good Hunting Cowboy!

[Hekate]

30. What a snake pit our WH has become nt

[truthisfreedom]

32. Buncha triggered nutjobs

[Maxheader]

33. Their like the French underground...ww2..

Withstanding tremendous pressure..
