Popular vote loser Donald Trump has taken to Twitter, of course, and wants to get to the bottom of why his buddy Michael Flynn had to resign from his role as national security adviser. No, he doesn’t want to figure out what Flynn told the Russian ambassador back in December—but who told the world that Flynn had that conversation.

The real story here is why are there so many illegal leaks coming out of Washington? Will these leaks be happening as I deal on N.Korea etc?

Yeah, that. Is it still a leak when it’s coming from the president, who is conducting national security business in an open-air dining room full of people with smart phones and Facebook accounts?
