That was pretty clear and definitive Mr. Brennan. Thank you.
Breaking protocol??? Isn’t that a firing offense in this administration?
As best I can tell, following protocol would be a firing offense in this administration. At least theoretically, if any of them ever did.
“Violating protocol”? Is that what we’re calling treason now?
You don’t say.
I like his clear, intelligence-community take on the matter.
He doesn’t address legality, because that’s a law-enforcement matter and because there isn’t any debate over a president’s right to declassify information at will.
Instead, he made it clear that the president didn’t follow established procedures and he made it clear what the potential harm is in not following the procedures.
Unstated, but obvious to me in his remarks is: unless we can give allies assurance that Trump won’t fuck up like this again, our allies will be holding some information back that they would normally share with the US.
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
The Trumpp people are committed anti-tocalists.
But Trump didn’t mention Israel!! So what about that?! Huh, huh?! So you see, then there’s one thing, and there’s that, so don’t forget, you just have to look. Do you understand?
Indeed Brennan did a very good job, and the smackdown of Howdy Gowdy was the sprinkles on the sundae.
Everyone running for President should be required by law to be vetted and tested for psychological abnormalities. They should also be required by law to turn over ten years worth of most recent tax forms. All of them. Every candidate.
I am hearing from many people that this involved the highest echelons of the Trump-Penice campaign and the Republican party. Trump, Penice and even Ryan may all be working for Russian intelligence.
This is a very deceptive headline from TPM. Brennan said if the charges are accurate trump violated protocol, but he doesn’t know if the charges are accurate.
Now the WH leakers need to share a bit more of the redacted, tightly circulated transcript of the Russian WH visit. Did he say Israel? Or maybe just or “our Jew friends”? Why the f***K did he bring this up at the photo op?
Donnie violated more than just protocol Mr Brennan if you please.
Yeah, we do. Sorry, cupcake, but the charges have been corroborated multiple times over, not to mention tacitly admitted to by Trump himself. You got nothing.
Don’t bother feeding the troll. It just likes pointless derailment.
Dare I hope that this makes it clear why “violated protocol” here is more important than using the wrong fork?
Sheesh, I need to get an intel euphemism glossary.
