RUMBLINGS: 'National Guard Fake Memo' Was Ploy To Smoke Out The Leaker
The Associated Press released a story on Friday claiming the Trump administration considered a proposal to round up illegal immigrants using as many as 100,000 National Guard troops. Now sources are saying perhaps several different versions of this memo were drafted up to smoke out the leaker.
AP reported:
The Trump administration considered a proposal to mobilize as many as 100,000 National Guard troops to round up unauthorized immigrants, including millions living nowhere near the Mexico border, according to a draft memo obtained by The Associated Press.
The 11-page document calls for the unprecedented militarization of immigration enforcement as far north as Portland, Oregon, and as far east as New Orleans, Louisiana. The document can be accessed at
Four states that border on Mexico were included in the proposal — California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas — but it also encompasses seven states contiguous to those four — Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.
White House Press Secretary, Sean Spicer responded to this report:
White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Friday the document was “not a White House document.”
“There is no effort to do what is potentially suggested,” he said. Spicer called the AP report “100 percent not true,” adding that there was “no effort at all to utilize the National Guard to round up unauthorized immigrants.”

Now sources are saying that the National Guard memo perhaps has several different versions so Donald Trump can smoke out the leaker… Stay tuned, story developing.

Multiple sources within the WH have told me that the “memo” on the 100K National Guard soldiers was fake news designed to smoke out leaker.

Same group who leaked the National Guard “memo” also created the fake news story about Flynn. @realDonaldTrump is FURIOUS. #BringBackFlynnhttps://t.co/JYsbs49R55

Give 10 different people 10 different copies of the “same” memo. Include 1 different words or typos in each. Oldest trick in the book.
