No president likes leaks, but it’s worth noting candidate Trump’s path to power was tread on a road of leaks. He didn’t have a problem with leaks then. It’s not a moral position if you only hold it when it applies to you.

About This Quote

In an attempt to discredit political opponents, some people have been leaking information from the Obama administration. The information they have released has been shared with mainstream media outlets for the purpose of painting President Obama in a negative light. In this case, there is a difference between leaking information and using the media to release classified information. If a politician is truly concerned about leaks, he or she should be equally concerned about what is being leaked.
