Democrats are desparate to find the means to overthrow our government. If given power the law will not stand in their way. Get out and vote Republican, your life may very well depend upon it!

Robinson is a leftist hack, who spews emotional nonsense unconnected to facts or reason.

It is what he does.

By chance can anyone tell me what John Brennan’s current job is?

Wow, they really have become unhinged from reality.

They sure come across that way, but I doubt they are. These people have been in DC for a long time and know how all this stuff works. I think they are hoping ignorant fools pickup their comments and spam other ignorant fools.

These clowns don’t know what a impeachable offense is.

I believe they do, all too clearly.

Impeachment is a purely political process. An impeachable offense is whatever the House of Representatives says it is. There are some political limits, in the sense that most house members do not want to commit political suicide by showing they are arrogant, irrational idiots, who will use their political power to embarrass a President just because they can.

But that political limit is a very low bar when the entire Progressive media has your back, when CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post, NBC, CBS, ABC and the PBC all agree that President Trump must be removed from office at any cost, for any reason.

Once impeached, the trial moves to the Senate. If the Republicans hold the Senate, it probably does not go anywhere.

But, again, all the Progressive media will be pushing, with all their might, to make a conviction happen. And most of the Senate has been conditioned, for all their political careers, to fear the media and heed its commands.

He is an insult, and insult to readers intelligence, sense of decency, and morality.

If this means impeachment, then firing Sessions or shutting down Mueller would mean a firing squad.

Shouldn’t there be a “Barf Alert” in the title?

Your talking logic here. Unfortunately, there are so many people who hear a remark like Robinson’s and take it as gospel.

Once again Robinson shows he’s a pig ignorant, lying, race baiting Leftist jackass. He has no redeeming characteristics. If he wasn’t black he couldn’t get a job as a Walmart greeter.

What’s really insane is that Brennan kept a security clearance as long as he has.

I was really shocked to lean about how many people keep a security clearance when out of office. Spy novels and spy movies and TV shows often feature traitorous CIA agents. If I were a foreign power who wanted USA info, I would approach a person from a previous administration who is hostile to the current administration. Someone like Brennan. All former spooks should have their clearance pulled when out of office. I can't understand why they would need it when out of office.

Who is more ignorant, gene robinson or juan williams?

These two black liberals are content to be compliant to their demonRAT masters if they get to live in a tent at the edge of the porch.

Both made their millions on the backs of their black brothers, by selling them out, over and over again.

First these ignorant a-holes need to explain WHY a private citizen needs a security clearance.

If every citizen gets one why would one be needed?

Well he never ranked amongst my favorite people and the classification you placed him under seems about right. But the reason I was wondering was after he got canned from his former job, the only reason for his security clearance was so he could continue to snoop and collect special info and then leak it to his buddies in the media and probably was paid for under the table. And yes I agree whole heartedly that he should have been removed long time ago.

I can't understand why they would need it when out of office.

The only half rational explanation I've heard is that former agents might consult with the agency after leaving on matters they had knowledge of while active. But when a former CIA employee, let alone former director, becomes a loudmouthed critic trying to damage a new president, then his security clearance should be revoked as soon he becomes a political player.

And I've heard some say that there are CIA guidelines on how former employees must conduct themselves after leaving, and Brennan is far outside those guidelines.
