A ‘rogue’ group of staffers is tweeting secrets from the White House; Surprise surprise surprise

There’s no question about it, technology is playing a bigger and bigger role in all aspects of our lives, especially when it comes to the way we consume news. Social media — and especially Twitter — was an important weapon for Donald Trump as he ascended to the ultimate position in the country. On the flip side, the same weapon that he wields to disseminate his own versions of the truth, to attack anyone who’d criticize him and to rant about whatever comes to mind, can also be used against him.

Yesterday, the swamp level in DC was lowered. The political hack acting AG was relieved of her duty.

I call this progress and change we can believe in.
Kate Steinle was separated from her family permanently but leftists didn't seem to mind.

From the article, "...unknown, unhappy individuals who are supposedly working for the Trump administration."

There’s no way to verify the authenticity of the newly minted Twitter channel,..." So the words "unknown" and "supposedly" did not tip you off that the title "A rogue group of staffers..." was a validated group of Trump staffers?

There was not a single tweet from that account that would lead me to think that it was really an insider. More like the fantasy of some pajama wearing liberal bedwetter sitting in his mother's basement, smoking pot, eating cheetos and snickering while he posts.

Sadly, it is a real news report about a group of posts that may be faked.

The fact that the "rogue" accounts exist is apparently news to some outlets.

It could just as plausibly be true. Therein lies the problem with anonymous sources. It's difficult to know how credible the information they provide might be.

Thus not...news...but speculation.

About on par with this....

Anyone else notice these rogue accounts started almost immediately after the Civil board become one member less.

Just saying. :dunno:

At best this is OP-ed material but could just as easily be UUU

From what we have seen of Trumps antics, this Twitter souce seems to be a bit ahead of the curve.
If they aren't insiders, they are mind readers.

Samples from the link

POTUS fully overwhelmed after full week on the job. Things spilling over into out of office lives for everyone.

POTUS fuming after judge order last night. Suggested having agents to "do it anyway" & ignore order. Preibus said to be at wits end.

Actually Clone has a point in that there was more "evidence" for pizza gate being real than there is for these being real white house staffers.

I think we need to go ahead and say any article discussing these "rogue"pickyourgovernmentinstitution twitter accounts are indeed unconfirmed. Since this an article discussing it, and it does exist we won't move it directly to UUU but since it is about a fake twitter account I think we can safely say that it belongs on MFAB.

CT, I will move this there rather than close. Please place future stories about rogue twitter accounts over there.

Not speculation. Speculation would be you or I talking about what we think is happening in the White House based on our observations from without. This is either a) the observations of those who are in the know and reflects the reality of the White House, or b) is completely fabricated.

In neither case is it speculation.

It is news.
