That person, who has not given their name, created a Twitter account to share what they saw and heard.
Kellyanne was at an embassy party last night, leaking sensitive Priebus and Trump White House conversations to @washingtonpost reporters. 1/ pic.twitter.com/XZz48UAG6G

She held court for an hour or so as folks cycled in/out of her circle. She said Trump gave her a line to talk about "the tapes" to press 2/

She said Trump told her to say "Jim Comey will have to wait and see about the tapes"; she added "I chose to convert that to 'no comment'" 3/

…and laughed. Here's where she put those "no comments" and "I can't comment on that" in action: https://t.co/HBzRiIkvtV

She also reportedly told stories about other White House staffers, including Chief of Staff Reince Priebus (“He should just be honest: ‘I’m upset because there’s someone working on a story who pronounces it RAYNSE instead of REINCE'”); White House Director of Legislative Affairs Marc Short (“Honestly, what the fuck does Marc Short do all day?”); and another unnamed staffer who reportedly “says ‘dude’ a lot.”
She had a good/cruel riff mocking @Reince45 in WH staff meetings.
"No leaks guuuys" she said, mimicking him in a dopey voice. "Seriously" 5/— Kellyanne Leaks (@KellyanneLeaks) June 9, 2017
"He should just be honest: 'I'm upset because there's someone working on a story who pronounces it RAYNSE instead of REINCE.'" 6/

Before some WaPo folks joined her, she was talking about recent weeks in the WH to some other party guests. This expression was telling. 7/ pic.twitter.com/pR8KIuZSsF

The unnamed party guest writes that Conway was likely talking to Washington Post reporters “off-the-record,” meaning that if the details of the conversation were reported, her name would not be used.
I should mention that @KellyannePolls was probably talking OTR to @costareports @danbalz and @PhilipRucker — but loudly, at a DC party.

“If 45 [Trump, who is the 45th president] wonders who the leakers are,” they close:
Trump/Pence people are a bit sloppy and fratricidal; what else is new. But if 45 wonders who the leakers are… https://t.co/TkUmw3EzTR
