Former CIA operative and 2016 third-party presidential candidate Evan McMullin took to Twitter and CNN on Wednesday to defend rogue intelligence agents who break the law to leak classified information, saying President Donald Trump “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 and the relationship of his team to other Russian intelligence officers.”
McMullin cited a New York Times 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.”
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.”

There was nothing illegal with what Flynn did, and you know that. I guess McMullin is hoping your audience is THAT stupid and do not understand this is totally normal. An incoming transitional President can have his National Security Advisor talk to heads of states McMullin. Every National Security Advisor has done this.
What you are doing is HIGH TREASON McMullin against our lawfully and Constitutional elected POTUS.
Democrat textbook 101: Always accuse the enemy of what YOU are doing.
Daily reminder: McMullin is “former” CIA.
FU McMullin, you treasonous maggot.
Let’s get ready to rumble. It’s only a matter of time...
McMuffin got 0 delegates.

Our security agencies are riddled with Muslim Brotherhood.
Egg McMuffin and I suspect many in the CIA are the domestic enemies.
Stopped reading right there. Someone with an axe to grind and attempting to ingratiate himself into the good graces of the lunatics? Pass.
The career government *is* the enemy. Thats why we elected trump.
I took the same oath when I joined the military and was never relieved of that oath. I consider you a "domestic enemy" pal.
Shorter McMuffin: ‘LOOK AT ME!’
Why is anything that comes out of this dude’s mouth newsworthy? I got as many electoral votes as he did. WTH?
Egg McMuffin is a Romney stooge.
But not even Mittens would make such a stupid remark.
The Deep State conspirators aren’t even trying to hide their treason now.
We have found our leak.
I wonder what Romney’s opinion of 20 years in prison would be for aiding and abiding?
Reid
Romney
McMuffin
Beck

Mitt, please curb your eff’n dog!
He is off the chain again.
Bold or really scared? hard to tell from the outside.
