… the “illegal leaks” of these facts: including the FACT that 45’s head of National Security is a liar, and a blackmail risk — due to his Russian shenanigans?!
Here is 45’s tweet of this morning:
“…Donald J. Trump 4 hours ago:
The real story here is why are there so many illegal leaks coming out of Washington? Will these leaks be happening as I deal on N.Korea etc?…”
Ahem. I guess Mr. Trump doesn’t believe the people have a right to know what his chosen representatives have done — in his name — that breaks the law. I guess he believes that committing felonies on the job cannot be the subject of a free press inquiry.
What was Watergate? Or Iran Contra? Or Abu Ghraib? Or… Mei Lai? Oh. Right. In 45’s veiw, those were deplorable leaks by intel, not crimes against the people by their own executive branch — ostensibly in the name of these same people. C’mon man — get a grip. You just got busted.
Confidential to Mr. Trump: if you want to stop the leaks — by patriots who believe in our system of checks and balances — who believe in ordered liberty, rather than monarchy…
Tell your people to stop violating the law, and lying about it to your own VP.
That would be a very sensible start.
Mr. Trump, Mr. Flynn’s implosion is exactly what you deserve — you chose him, even though all the reliable the vetting suggested he’d be a liability.
It’s only a matter of time before Mr. Bannon and Mr. Miller similarly implode. I should note for a complete record that the PowerLine ditto-heads are repeating this garbage — even though they told us that Dan Rather’s arguable prevaricating (a nightly news anchor, over a decade ago) was a national crisis — during electioneering about Bush 43.
Here the Trump Administration’s chief of national security was clearly lying to the VPOTUS. About a felony. And that’s a nothing burger at PowerLine. Sheesh.
Powerline Lies...
