High level leaks out of WH shouldn’t happen but POTUS could reduce significantly if he inspired more loyalty, respect, comradery & sense of purpose.
This happened a whole lot less, and at a much lower level, in past administrations. I wasn't absolving the leakers, just pointing out that POTUS bears responsibility.

at the end of the day, POTUS bears responsibility for hiring assholes, but for the media to just lay back and pretend that this is another "Trump is totally different than the normal President" thing is absurd

I didn't say that. I made a specific point.

your specific point is that Trump inspires a lower than average level (for a POTUS) of loyalty, respect, comraderie, sense of purpose, etc. I don't think that's true or that you could ever prove it if it were. You *can* prove that the media is working overtime to annoy him

Press used to put a falling down drunk LBJ into cabs at night, covered for JFK's affairs, covered for FDR's polio, etc. What's changed is the press, not that people suddenly know this stuff. The same things were there to be reported on in decades past & the press declined

Tom Eagleton was McGovern's VP pick & served as a source for a high-profile story on McGovern's thinking. McGovern never could figure out who it was, wasn't revealed until the 90's. That's not "low level"
