Evan McMullin: President Donald Trump Is a ‘Domestic Enemy’
[BREITBART] Former CIA operative and 2016 third-party presidential candidate Evan McMullin
...who got a whopping 0.53% of the national vote, then on January 25, 2017, announced the formation of Stand Up Republic, a "nonpartisan" watchdog organization meant to ensure that the Trump administration upholds democracy and tells the truth, according to Wikipedia...
took to Twitter and CNN on Wednesday to defend rogue intelligence agents who break the law to leak classified information, saying President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
 "presents a threat to the country."

In response to President Trump’s tweets earlier Wednesday, in which he alleged that elements of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and National Security Agency were engaged in "Russia"-style political operations, McMullin tweeted:

The obvious implication was that McMullin believes that intelligence and law enforcement agents are entitled to break the law based on their own views that the President of the United States is a threat to the Constitution and in cahoots with Russia.

Mcmullen reiterated his views on CNN, where he purported to speak for the concern of the agents doing the leaking:

"I’ll tell you what their concerns are. There concerns are that Donald Trump presents a threat to the country because of his -- what they see as his relationship with Vladimir Putin
...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead...
 and the relationship of his team to other Russian intelligence officers."

McMullin cited a New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
 report indicating that Trump campaign aides had contact with Russian intelligence -- without also noting that the same report indicated there was "no evidence" that the "Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election."
Any CIA man, current or former, who believes the words emitted by the New York Times in the order they were emitted isn't worth the gold paper his official deputy star was cut out of.
He went on to make the very claim denied by the Times article, telling Baldwin Trump "ran a campaign that was assisted by a foreign adversary -- our greatest foreign adversary."

Pressed by host Brooke Baldwin as to whether there were "too many leaks," McMullin said that intelligence officers were bound by an oath to defend the country and the Constitution against "domestic and foreign enemies." That included "a security threat coming from the White House."

An obviously sympathetic Baldwin then asked McMullin: "Are any of these people you’re talking to just even worried about him even getting intel briefings, period?"

McMullin said that they are -- and seemed to admit, in the process, that he is speaking with intelligence officials who may be leaking information.

During the presidential campaign, McMullin was a leader in the "NeverTrump" movement, consisting of conservatives who rejected Trump as the Republican Party nominee. Though he hoped to flip Utah, among a few other states, to Hillary Clinton
... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, sometimes described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as a crook...
 by relegating Trump to third place, Trump won in that state and elsewhere.
