I'm a bit suspicious of these leaks from the White House [View all]

Too many too quickly
Feels like a set-up of either the press or the staff there.

These leaks are coming from really close to the Oval Office. I know it's not that big of a building or staff so the field of possible leakers is pretty small. His inner circle is very small but there are more people near it due the normal WH staffing.

The part I've not understood is Priebus. He could be an extended celebration tour with donors but he took basically a 24/7 job. The establishment GOP-RNC hates Trump, that's pretty clear, so maybe Rense was their inside man (this could explain Romney taking one for the team trying to be SoS) but Bannon and Jared are going to be very protective of their property. Maybe he read the writing on the wall for not being able to do something to stop Trump from happening in the first place. I don't know.

Suspicious, maybe paranoid but it seems too much too quickly.
