For the purposes of the focus here, let's take a look at three things: Politico's specific policy on the issue, contrition by the reporter and accountability from management.
First, Politico precedent: Last summer, another Politico reporter (Ken Vogel) was shown in another Wikileaks email dump sharing a story in advance with a DNC national press secretary Mark Paustenbach.
“Vogel gave me his story ahead of time/before it goes to his editors as long as I didn’t share it,” Pasterenbach, ignoring Vogel's request not to share the story, wrote DNC Communications director Luis Miranda. “Let me know if you see anything that’s missing and I’ll push back.” http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blo...podesta-emails http://www.politico.com/magazine/sto...s-press-214367 http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016...lary-advisors/ | This user groans at TwentyEightTripsLater for this post: | |

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis openly differed with his commander in chief over North Korea on Wednesday, the latest example of a once-rare public display of disagreement by top U.S. aides that has become more frequent under President Donald Trump.
Mattis was also among the senior aides, including Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and White House economic adviser Gary Cohn, who implicitly criticized the Republican president’s response to violence at a rally organized by white nationalists in Charlottesville, Virginia, earlier this month.

In fact even if it was true , it shows the seventeen or so intelligence services were impotent to protect the nation during an election from outside sources. I don't know why they would want to admit that to the world if it was true.

Do you know the expression "cherry picking"?
Carry on
" I don't know why they would want to admit that to the world if it was true." Presumably because, unlike Trump, they believe truth is important?

Rather: Trump 'seized with fear' over Mueller investigation | Quote: |  | | | A report Wednesday said Mueller and New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) have teamed up in the ongoing investigation of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. | | | | | Source
Of course there are a lot of unfounded conspiracy theories circulating about Trump's business activities in New York with tenuous links to the firing of Preet Bharara, former US Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

William C. Bradford, a Trump administration appointee who heads the Energy Department's Office of Indian Energy, resigned Thursday after claiming this week inflammatory comments that appeared to have been made by him online were the result of hacking. Source
Probably a good decision otherwise he would have faced difficult questions about why he had not noticed that his account had been hacked and was making inappropriate comments "over several years"¨without, for example, changing his password! Source |

Ooopppsss
Employers added only 156,000 jobs in August as the pace of hiring slowed, according to the Labor Department report Friday.
The unemployment rate crept up to 4.4% from the 16-year low of 4.3% reached last month, as fewer adults reported that they had a job during the month.
The Labor Department also revised down earlier estimates for job growth in both June and July by a total of 41,000 jobs, suggesting that the labor market is not quite as strong as it appeared to be a month ago.

Anybody else notice how nuclear plants kept working and providing full power in areas effected by Harvey while fossil fuel and chemical plants had to shut down. Source
Wind farms automatically shut off when winds exceed ca. 55 mph (say 90 Kmh) and then need manual checking before restarting which is not so easy when many employees are blocked by flooding and other hurricane after effects.
So which form of energy is safest | This user would like to thank marton for this useful post: | |
