For me, the monitoring, recording, and release of Flynn’s actions and words reminds us again of the hundreds of moles remaining in the state department and the intelligence agencies.
They actually record everything said.
That should make every freedom loving American worry for his freedom from an out of control police state.
Well said.
This is all because those agencies have become so politicized. I can imaging working there when Obama was elected, knowing that I’d have to do a lot of stuff I disagreed with philosophically, but he was the boss so if I wanted to keep my job I’d do what was required, but I’d compartmentalize myself...hang out and talk with others who feel the same way. Before long you’ve got the agency divided into camps, those who agree philosophically with the President and those who do not, but can’t say or do much about it. That also pretty accurately describes the state of the nation for the past 8 years. Maybe even going back to Bush the Younger, because of the division that occured in 2000 over the chad-count election.
In any case that’s why we have what we have today. Factions within the agencies have now flipped, the traditionalists are “in charge” and the Obamaites are having to play defense, but the game is the same — leak info to screw the other side, do what you have to but find a way to stick the knife in and give it a twist if possible, without getting caught.
Think about how many employees of these agencies have the phone numbers of so-called journalists in their contacts list...and how many SHOULD.
It wont’ be easy to fix this. I have no idea really how Trump can do it.
Someone mentioned in another thread that the President should just fire anyone and everyone who was hired by 0bama. Period.
The wisdom in that is pretty clear.
I don’t know what can be done about the RINOs, but something needs to be. And soon.
