Leaker found!

It’s Kellyannne Conway at a British Embassy party, loudly sharing White House gossip off-the-record to a group of reporters, while mocking Reince Priebus, asking what legislative director Marc Short does all day, and explaining that Trump told her to say, “Jim Comey will have to wait and see about the tapes” but she converted that to, “No comment.”

A new Twitter account named “Kellyanneleaks”, whose profile reads: “If a NYT, Politico, or WaPo article hits @Reince45 (or other W.H. staff), good chance @KellyannePolls leaked,” busted Counselor to President Trump Kellyanne Conway at the embassy party.

The image used for this post was captured as Kellyanne Conway talked about recent weeks in the White House, so that should prepare you for what’s to come:

Kellyanne was at an embassy party last night, leaking sensitive Priebus and Trump White House conversations to @washingtonpost reporters. 1/ pic.twitter.com/XZz48UAG6G — Kellyanne Leaks (@KellyanneLeaks) June 9, 2017

I should mention that @KellyannePolls was probably talking OTR to @costareports @danbalz and @PhilipRucker — but loudly, at a DC party. — Kellyanne Leaks (@KellyanneLeaks) June 9, 2017

Trump/Pence people are a bit sloppy and fratricidal; what else is new. But if 45 wonders who the leakers are… https://t.co/TkUmw3EzTR — Kellyanne Leaks (@KellyanneLeaks) June 9, 2017

Also @nick_ayers was there. He loudly complained about @EricGreitens, and said Greitens was an "Obama lover" and "pro-amnesty." pic.twitter.com/Holz2qQg6P — Kellyanne Leaks (@KellyanneLeaks) June 9, 2017

… (than the meaner @Reince45 one) of an acquaintance who says "Dude!" a lot. It sounded like another WH senior staff member. 12/ pic.twitter.com/V8pNqMp9wL — Kellyanne Leaks (@KellyanneLeaks) June 9, 2017

At one point @KellyannePolls said "Honestly, what the fuck does Marc Short do all day?" 10/ — Kellyanne Leaks (@KellyanneLeaks) June 9, 2017

So @KellyannePolls held court for awhile. Along with knocking @Reince45, she also made jokes about the ineffectiveness of his RNC world. 9/ — Kellyanne Leaks (@KellyanneLeaks) June 9, 2017

Before some WaPo folks joined her, she was talking about recent weeks in the WH to some other party guests. This expression was telling. 7/ pic.twitter.com/pR8KIuZSsF — Kellyanne Leaks (@KellyanneLeaks) June 9, 2017

Here she is mocking Reince Priebus:

"He should just be honest: 'I'm upset because there's someone working on a story who pronounces it RAYNSE instead of REINCE.'" 6/ — Kellyanne Leaks (@KellyanneLeaks) June 9, 2017

She had a good/cruel riff mocking @Reince45 in WH staff meetings.

"No leaks guuuys" she said, mimicking him in a dopey voice. "Seriously" 5/ — Kellyanne Leaks (@KellyanneLeaks) June 9, 2017

…and laughed. Here's where she put those "no comments" and "I can't comment on that" in action: https://t.co/HBzRiIkvtV — Kellyanne Leaks (@KellyanneLeaks) June 9, 2017

Over this video:

Kellyanne Conway asked three times if Trump has "tapes" of conversations with Comey. Conway says three times she "can't comment on that." pic.twitter.com/ETeELH7p2S — Jon Passantino (@passantino) June 8, 2017

She held court for an hour or so as folks cycled in/out of her circle. She said Trump gave her a line to talk about "the tapes" to press 2/ — Kellyanne Leaks (@KellyanneLeaks) June 9, 2017

She said Trump told her to say "Jim Comey will have to wait and see about the tapes"; she added "I chose to convert that to 'no comment'" 3/ — Kellyanne Leaks (@KellyanneLeaks) June 9, 2017

Kellyanne Conway wants Reince Priebus’ job, but this wasn’t the best way to get it.

The amateur hour vibe that surrounds the entire Trump administration is captured well here. Infighting, leaking, nastiness, backstabbing, gossiping to reporters about coworkers — and Conway is hardly the only one.

Is there anyone in the Trump administration who is not leaking to the press in an effort to CYA, beat their colleague, advance their own power and positions, and protect themselves from the inevitable fallout if indeed they can see that coming.

Leak leak leak.

This won’t help President Trump’s growing paranoia as he looks around his staff and wonders who else is gossiping loudly to reporters at parties. It should be noted, before Trump blames the reporters for this, no one knows who took these pictures or started the account but it is probably not any of those reporters since they’re in the pictures.

It could even be someone in his own White House who wants to get rid of Kellyanne Conway. The court intrigue continues.
