#1 Is he still on Clinton’s payroll? Seems to this is the beginning of a plea bargain or positioning for immunity.

#2 ’Huh, what’s going on with these intelligence guys?’ Right?"

Well, backing the corrupt communists in the democrat party could have been a clue if any of you klingons had any intelligence.

As far as I AM concerned, I do not have a government right now.
Just corrupt democrat party members.
Democrat national socialists without swastikas weaponizing the government against the opposition and regular Americans who just want to go about their lives.

It would be one thing if you were any good at your jobs at all, but you are the opposite of that because your ideology always corrupts correct thinking.

False doctrine is just that and I will always remember your misfeasance / malfeasance, lack of character, and lack of Faith past the day of your passing.

This goes for all of you federal goons who used your positions to support the nastiest people on earth - the democrat party - in land where my feet are planted.

#3 "there were downsides to it that I didn’t think about at the time."

Downsides like what if your coup attempt failed and your side lost the election? Was he perhaps one of the guys threatening not to brief Trump during the transition? "Didn't think things through" is a pretty damning and shameful admission for the head of an intelligence agency.

IMAO, the damage Obama did to America was not the international bowing and scraping, the mom jeans or the school lunch kale. It was the destruction of trust in government agencies like the IRS, the EPA, the DOJ, the FBI and the CIA. All of them have been turned into partisan political weapons that were (and are) being used against the Democrat's opponents. So much for that whole "nation of laws" thing.

#4 or the school lunch kale

Don't underestimate lunch kale - childhood malnutrition can affect your entire life.

#5 ’Huh, what’s going on with these intelligence guys?’ Right?"

They are (or were) the 'deep state' puppet masters, the 'shadow government' behind the indolent Soetoro, Bush, and arse-bandit Clinton. The Hildebeest was to be the continuing chapter. Morell was a career analyst. As Brennan's #2, Morell knew precisely what was taking place and what he and others were doing. It all went tragically wrong for them with outsider Donald Trump.

Now he feints ignorance, regret. Nice try Mr. Morell, but it looks like another 'air ball.'

Examine the power structure of any of history's totalitarian regimes and you will oftentimes find the intelligence apparatus neatly woven into, or in the seat of the senior political structure. Vladimir Putin is a contemporary example.

#6 I still wonder about all of the weapons, ammo, armored vehicles, bullet proof vests, and helmets that the BLM, IRS, and EPA bought under Obama's watch.

Not only were those agencies politicized, but they were armed and dangerous. I would hope at some point Trump would have these non-law enforcement agencies divest themselves of all of that paramilitary paraphernalia...

#10 If the Libertarian party can't manage to put some candidates into local or state office after these examples of government overreach they should just give up as a party.
