Trump's national security failures

[One Bad Pig]

Suddenly national security is a really big deal, I guess.

And lying. Don't forget lying. Lying is YUGE!

[Cerebrum123]

I think Trump should say, "I agree! National Security is paramount. Therefore I have decided to reopen the case against Hillary Clinton." And watch the cockroaches scurry.

That would be great with some .

[Tassman]

The real national security failure are the leaks coming out of Washington.

Oh really! Trump loved WikiLeaks during the campaign, but he's not so fond of leaks as president. Why is that?

All part of draining the swamp. Nobody expected it to be drained overnight.

Nonsense! He's making the swamp worse what with his list of Goldman Sachs alumni and rich business friends in the Trump Administration.

Because WikiLeaks wasn't dealing in classified information, dumbass.

Seriously, how many times does that need to be explained?

Classified or not, they are called whistle blowers for a reason. If Gen. Flynns illegal underming of U.S. policy in secret talks with foriegn entities wasn't revealed, he would still be NSA. If Trumps intention was to undermine the U.S. and its ties to our Nato allies in favor of aligning the U.S. with Russia, would you have a problem with intelligence leaks exposing that plan to the American public, or would you consider it a patriotic act?

That's not why he resigned. He resigned because he lied to Pence.

I have a problem with ANYONE exposing classified secrets.

I have a problem with ANYONE exposing classified secrets.

So if you were an intel agent and had information that implicated the president as treasoness you would keep silent about it.

Yes. I took an oath to protect the secrets I have been entrusted with. My word is my bond. That people like Snowden lack that integrity isn't my problem.

If Gen. Flynns illegal underming...

It wasn't illegal, you obtuse jackass.

The FBI in late December reviewed intercepts of communications between the Russian ambassador to the United States and retired Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn — national security adviser to then-President-elect Trump — but has not found any evidence of wrongdoing or illicit ties to the Russian government, U.S. officials said.

This has been pointed out to you so many times that continuing with this discredited narrative is beginning to look like a deliberate falsehood on your part.

Classified or not...

Did you even read what you posted? There is a difference between leaking classified material (state secrets) and non-classified secrets

You were against wikileaks during the campaign but now you are fond of leaks. Why is that?

[Cow Poke]

I'm going to have to report you for abuse of dumb animals!

I meant non-classified information not secrets

Still, I wonder if poor little Jimmy-boy comprehends the difference.

It’s all related.

The wikileaks originated from a hostile government seeking to interfere in the US electoral process in favour of Trump. And the current leaks show that members of Trump’s campaign team talked with Russian intelligence in the year leading up to the U.S. presidential election.

Communications intercepted by U.S. authorities indicated that Trump associates were repeatedly in contact with intelligence and government officials from Russia around the same time that Trump was openly praising President Vladimir Putin on the campaign trail. And there’s increasing evidence that Donald Trump knew for weeks Michael Flynn was misleading over his regular communications with Russia...possibly under Trump’s direction.

In short, all the evidence points to collusion by Trump with a hostile power and there are many questions to be answered...as even Fox News acknowledges:

Shep Smith of Fox News on Trump’s Press Conference on 16th Feb: ‘It’s crazy what we’re watching every day. It’s absolutely crazy. He keeps repeating ridiculous throwaway lines that are not true at all, and sort of avoiding this issue of Russia as if we’re some kind of fools for asking the question. Really? Your opposition was hacked, and the Russians were responsible for it, and your people were on the phone with Russia on the same day it was happening, and we’re fools for asking the questions? No, sir.’

Look, you guys have been flogging this dead horse for months. Surely if there was anything to this Russian narrative then something, anything concrete would have been discovered by now. Instead it's just the same old rumors, the same old "unnamed sources", the same old fake dossiers, the same old unfounded speculation that liberals have been hyperventilating about since last October, all fed to gullible idiots like you by the same media that served you phony polls saying that Hillary was practically guaranteed to win the election. It's time to leave your liberal fantasy world and join the rest of us here in the real one.
