Who do you blame for the WH leaks? All the Dems were fired so it has to be smart Conservatives. Must be a great place to work. Wonder who Big Brother(Sister) is?

The vast majority of Obama's appointees are still in place in the deep state.  As for who to blame, I really don't care the political affiliation of the leakers.  They need to be ferreted out and either fired or if they revealed secrets, indicted.

I would suggest if Trump and his minions can't find replacements they are in deep chit. I fail to understand how there are still Obama appointees in the White House where the leaks are occurring.

That's because you don't understand how transitions occur.  Especially when you go from one party to another.  If Hillary had been elected she would have likely kept a great many of the Obama personnel as they are all left wing nuts like her and Obama.  Trump and the team has to look at all of them and decide who has to be replaced and who can be kept......all the while doing the job of President.  Frankly, despite all the leaks and negativity it shows some maturity on the part of Trump not to fire every single one of them on day one.

SCOOP: Three White House staffers have been identified for leaking classified info. POTUS will fire ‘multiple people’ when he returns to DC.

SCOOP INFO: I’m told the names of the leakers are being run by the Office of Government Ethics, which is why they aren’t immediately fired

Names are given to the Office of Government ethics, who will investigate further

SCOOP INFO: I asked one source why the leakers names would be presented to the Office of Government Ethics. “This is criminal,” they said.

—> Office of Government Ethics is not able to prosecute anyone. They will advise the White House on how to proceed with leakers, I’m told.”

well looks like he is about to replace three not so good Obama leftovers...who may be looking at legal issues...

I like your observation. I think we can all agree, if Hillary had been elected she would have wasted no time in "cleaning" house, and the "SWAMP" would have gotten considerably deeper.

My casual observation from all the years I spent in DC - it takes about a year for an incoming President to get his team in place.  In addition to the positions that have to be confirmed by Congress (down to the Assistant Secretary level), there are literally thousands of non-confirmation positions that don't get filled until all those that need confirmation are filled.  I suspect that this is being done quietly in most cases without media attention. 

The leaks could be coming from the White House or the NSC.  Not everyone on the NSC (staff level) get replaced with the turn of Administrations.  A lot of leakers are not even political, but harbor a grudge for some other reason.  We had 2 in our organization that consistently leaked information to the Washington Times.  It had nothing to do with politics, but it had everything to do with an old grudge agains the first Director and subsequent managers who failed to recognize their "brilliance" and put them in charge.  There was another one that leaked stuff all the time, because he was unhappy about U.S. policy towards China.  And if they get identified under the government's Whisle Blowers, there isn't anything thing much that you can do about them.  And with smart phones there isn't much of a way to track them.
