We should take an ATS poll and put up prizes.
My money is still on Mike "lodestar" Pence. Of course he denied being the author, what did you expect?

If it isn't illegal to leak that information to the press then what difference does it make? The Deep State has been spying on Trump since day one. It isn't surprising they have a mole (or troll) positioned inside the Administration.
Do YOU believe the information leaked was illegal? If not, why care?

I don't think any part of it is illegal but it is insubordination, and could result in a termination.
However, the letter is very destructive to the President and I am saying that could be a plan that was put into effect long before now.
On Monday night on CNN, Carl Bernstein made this proclamation: "The president and his presidency is in chaos."
It's a remarkable statement given that we are only 11 days into the presidency of Donald Trump. It's also very hard to dispute.
Consider this amazing — and I do mean amazing — WaPo story today about how Trump and his inner circle produced the very controversial executive order instituting a travel ban on refugees and all visitors from seven predominantly Muslim countries. The story details the infighting and blame game among Trump's top advisers and includes some eye-popping lines.
Among them:
* "Defense Secretary James Mattis and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly fumed privately to associates over the weekend because they had been caught unaware by a travel ban that was drafted and set into action largely in secret by the White House, according to three people who have spoken with them."

Personally, I don't think it came from anyone within the White House. It's a work of fiction penned by a pathetic "journalist" and slapped with a clandestine "insiders say" style authorship to grant it credibility from the gullible of the world.
