As a retired Counterintelligence Special Agent.... I could care less about the content of the meeting. I am amazed, and as a taxpayer, mad we have such leaks. How do we expect them to have an OPSEC program? How do we expect these people keep our country secure?
Why are theses members not all polygraphed before MON? Why are there not indictments by TUE? The people can not be trusted not to leak to our enemies in war time. Is this treason? Seems my last unit was much more secure then the White House!!!
Why this matters: The White House communications and press team has been beset by leaks. This last one appears to have crossed a line, and several people in the room on Friday told me they now walk into meetings knowing they can’t trust their own colleagues. In big meetings, they feel inclined, now, to keep their mouths shut.

Treason? Please. But it is funny that in your outrage about the leaks you quote people who were in the room. There is a certain irony there, that you are reporting to us that some team membersdon't trust their colleagues and shut up at meetings, and you are quoting anonymous inside sources to share that info with the world. If MSNBC had reported that very same info, you would be outraged that someone leaked it to the press. Or do you think it is OK to leak things you think make them look good, and not OK to leak things that make them look bad?

I do not think they should have leaked outside of the room. To news, their wife, to their mistress....how do you have OPSEC or run a Gov. They need to investigate this. No politics, violated their Non Disclosure Form.

I have no idea how many were in this meeting, but surely the possibilities are limited. Use whatever resources and weed out the leaker and make an example of him/her.

If we cannot trust these folks to keep their mouth shut then we are screwed already. It seems that the POTUS cannot trust his own staff. And I agree that the staff needs a polygraph test.
