He also stated he believes "it’s hugely dangerous if someone like that is exposed because the danger.....

Here it comes, that "in the interest of national security' cone of silence.

#2 I'll wait and see what happens. I wish I could trust this guy's diGenova predictions.

#3 Having the "clap" does eat brain cells. That and a steady diet of MSM lead paint chips.

#4 All of them are dirty, they naturally assumed Trump was too. All they had to do was commit multiple serious felonies to say on him and they'd find something. Then Hillary would be president and US troops would be hip deep in Russia by now.

#5 You know what's scary....

It's not spying on the president elect, it's the idea that for a couple of presidential spans the leader of the country has been selected, not elected.

Our only saving grace was the more opaque the bureaucracy, the less competent.

Becoming rather obvious isn't it? Might be more than... "a couple."

#7 Remember when the first unelected president decided to actually run for the office and the party selected him for a full term? Remember who ran against him in the primaries? Remember who we got?

Ford. Reagan. Carter.

We had to endure 4 years of the latter before, we corrected the 'selected' choice. "It's his turn" - motto of the Stupid Party

#8 I think it's been going on here in Britistan for a while IMHO It's why Churchill "lost" an election.

#10 diGenova is about as "reliable" as all of the bombshell announcements or "revelations" from Trey Gowdy, et al.

#11 Then Hillary would be president and US troops would be hip deep in Russia by now.

It seems to me the Russia thing was ginned up because Mrs. Clinton lost. Had she won they would not have fussed about Russia trying to impact the vote, something Russia has tried to do since Stalin was running things.

#12 Please stop using the word “democracy.” One of the commies’ best tactics is weaponizing our language to steer us into falsehood. These United States are not a democracy.

#13 ...if you measure it by classical definitions, its an oligarchy.

#14 Can't call it Feudal. In feudal times the 'lord' (or noble) had a responsibility to care for and protect his subjects (that is what they got for accepting his lordship and paying taxes). While we have a 'nobility' and a 'common' class - I don't see any evidence of that these days.

#15 That was the ideal, Crazy Fool. Reality often fell very short, as it so often does.

#16 Clapper should be strangled with his own entrails for this sort of traitorous destructive behavior towards the republic.
