Again, "anonymous" sources are the basis for the allegations in the linked article.
Kim Guilfoyle goes on the record and says she's in talks to become press secretary & wishes Spicer "the best."

Question -- has anyone told Mr Spicer
How does one respond to accusations made by sources that are anonymous?
In the intelligence field, anonymity is often the case. In this instance, however, there are quite a few statements being made to reporters. For myself, the test is the credibility of each individual reporter based on past statements. You need to develop a sense of trust that the reporter chose sources wisely and accurately reported what the sources said.

From what I have heard / read the last 18 or so hours, it is impossible for a President to leak classified intel because as soon as he shares it, he has de-classified it. He has that authority/ power as POTUS.
If this is true, and im not sure it is but several sources have said so, then it is also true that Trump did not share classified info. Anyone can say this and not be lying. The question should be, then, did he share information that was classified before he spoke it?
And as for anonymous sources, you really can't blame them. I recall reading during the campaign that Trump's life motto for success in business is something like, if someone messes you over, you do it 10 times back. His vengeance would extend far beyond the WH and the immediate future to ruin you and yours for life. He really is a nasty little man.
It seems to me, if any of this is true, the person or people ought to stand up publicly and present whatever evidence they have to support their allegations. I tend not to believe people who accuse others of wrong doing for the purpose of destroying them while hiding behind a cloak of anonymity. Attacking someone in this way is nothing less than cowardice.
Anonymous sources state that the editors of the Washington Post and the New York times were spotted in an unnatural threesome with a billy goat.
That is at least as credible as all of the other crazy talk coming from the msm
