    At least he is finally cleaning house. Better late than never, although these people should have been let go on day 1.


    You clearly haven't made any progress on your reading comprehension. If you can ascertain what my post really said, you'll see that your questions is idiotic and betrays that you don't understand what I wrote in the first place. At least make an effort if you want me to discuss things with you. :roll:

    Loyalty being more important than experience doesn't mean a loyal person can't also be experienced. There, I felt sorry for you and decided to explain it to you after all.

    You're welcome ;) Goodbye, Felicia.

    There's GOTTA be a limit.... I know they support anything this moronic turd comes up with, but there's GOTTA be a limit...

    It's the holy grail!... find the one thing Trump does that is just too ridiculous for some (not all) wingers on here to support...

    I'm gonna find it...

    Yeah, you go with that.

    They are trying to help Trump again, AND Sanders. Sanders cant beat Trump, therefore they are helping Sanders.

    The original assessment was that they were helping Trump. Schiff gets briefed on that, Turmp is worried that it will be “politicized”. He brings in his guy because he doesnt like that truth being out there, dso his guy changes the story. And as always, the Trumpeters all join in lock step..”they all lied to hurt trump...”

    I don't know why you're getting so worked up here, we seem to be in agreement. Trump made a mistake in keeping the Obama holdovers for so long ---- I think most everyone agrees with that ---- but at least he's facing the problem now and doing something about it. Sure, I wish he'd taken care of this at the beginning, but there's no point crying about that now. Better late than never. He finally seems to be fixing it.

    Grenell is just another unqualified "acting" sycophant in Trump's White House. The sucking sounds around the Oval Office must be deafening. Even Republicans pulled out the vomit bags on this one.

    Even though CNN walked it back ( which much have hurt their precious ego's) people like him will still parrot it.

    Yes, maybe we should contract out law enforcement and the work of our intelligence agencies. Because you wouldn't ask them for advice, and stuff.

    I wasn't aware that law enforcment and intelligence were providing advice to citizens. Perhaps you provide an example.

    Excellent job of misreading a post and missing the point.

    Loyalty to country and to the administration. Not the corrupt Senate committee who basically plea'd for the leaker so as to not expose their own asses.

    What would the WB have testified to that wasn't already confirmed by the other witnesses?

    The 'experienced' NSC misled John F. Kennedy into the Bay of Pigs. The same NSC started the recent episode, that we all escaped from a month ago. They are liars and snakes and dishonest people, who if I were to give my advice and consent it would be to disband the entire organization.

    Of course we all remember weapons of mass destruction, and the Libya debacle.

    It seems everything these "experienced" people touches, turns to ruin.

    I meant the other leaker. James Wolfe, who leaked Page's FISA application to his honeypot reporter for political damage into the Trump Administration. Wolfe was going to drag all of them down, so they plea'd on his behalf. A disgusting act of corruption far surpassing anything Trump ever did.

    The "recent episode", which was the impeachment of a sitting president in his first term, was started by the impeach-ee, not anybody in the job of National Security.

    Don't ever forget that, once you learn it...

    It was started by a member of the NSC who went rogue over the president's official policy, policy that the NSC cannot determine and it should not complain if it's not a trusted arm of the presidency, which as illustrated I wouldn't trust them either.

    They went and peddled crap to Congress and when asked to prove it(the Russian story), they tucked their tail in between their legs and ran. I don't fear "Putin", we have a ministry of propaganda right here in Washington.

    Respectfully, I think you're purposely presenting as uninformed. The schtick has past it's best by date, throw it out.

    I wasn't the one bringing up impeachment (off topic) and blaming career officials for the actions of the president (again, off topic).

    Respectfully, I'm fully informed on all aspects of the impeachment of Donald J. Trump...

    But I'd also equally glad to stay focused on the topic of this thread, which is Trump selecting an unqualified person for what most consider a very important job.

    Comment away...

    It absolutely is what they said in the beginning.

    Now that Grenell is there, now it's different right ? "nothing to see here"........right ?
