Opinion: Whistleblower speaks out on intelligence community's anti-Trump abuses
The Hill ^ | 9/12/18 | Monica Crowley

Posted on 09/12/2018 7:29:39 AM PDT by Major Matt Mason

In the spring of 2017, a different kind of insider whistleblower came forward. Unlike the Times author, he had the guts to put his name to his concerns. But instead of being cheered, he was summarily fired — because he warned of exactly the kind of insidious Trojan horse threat the op-ed writer (and countless other internal “resisters”) posed to the president and his agenda.

Not news to anyone that has been reading the correct sources, but it seems like things are finally coming to a head. But this also confirms that we have major problems in the GOP that must be dealt with immediately.

A critical problem to be sure. And every day, now, is critical.

Our Last Chance? [Can Donald Trump Revive The "Spirit of '76?]

We need to make it clear to all of the "whipped cur" Republicans--my term for those some folk mistakenly refer to as an "elite"--that we are all in for Trump--there is no time to tolerate their treacherous games.

Well, they are all up for a new treachery. That is to start more trouble in Syria to screw things up for Trump.

So if Trump read and agreed with Higgins’ memo and was “furious” at his firing, why didn’t Trump order his reinstatement? Is this fake news or real and, if real, how much is the President really in charge of the inner workings of the personnel decision process?

Keep in mind that Trump has rid himself of McMasters....but who is his replacement?

Trump also needs to delete Nikki Haley and a few others.

We need to find a way to separate the forked tongue Leftists, who exploit Lenin’s “useful idiots,” from their flocks—and the sheer numbers of those “idiots” in the media, make the task very difficult.

Here’s said memo (He gets it - marxist maoist tactics - 50 years in the making - teamed up with islam to make America fall)

Here’s Higgins on Rush Limbaugh show but with someone filling in for Rush

It’s a helluva battle Trump and us have.

In hindsight Frank Church and the Libs of the 1970’s had a valid point.

The intel community needs to be cut down to size periodically if our Democratic Republic is going to survive.

Further, after Trump’s stunning election victory, the Republican establishment was allowed to staff out his new administration — an epic mistake, according to Higgins: “These bad actors have shielded the Obama holdovers from dismissal, tolerated the bureaucratic slow-rolling by corrupt government officials, populated the administration with their own loyalists, and prevented qualified, actual Trump supporters from being hired.

Not to mention the Trump supporters the media and establishment loyalists co-conspired to push out once hired,” he says.

“This toxic betrayal mixed with a media that covers for corrupt leaders in the FBI and DOJ, while hurling itself into one manufactured fake story after another, makes this an unprecedented crisis.”

Asked how these forces are specifically operating, he replies: “Their aim is to kill the issues he was elected on. We’re still in Afghanistan. We don’t have the border wall or even funding for it. We still have ObamaCare … the DOJ (Department of Justice) and FBI are leaving the rule of law in tatters while the Republican establishment allows a nearly 18-month-long unprecedented, extra-legal [special counsel Robert] Mueller spectacle to continue unabated. Mueller’s deep-state rear-guard action exists to cover the retreat of corrupt officials ... .”

Yes to both. The GOP professional political elite are just as corrupt as the Deep State and the Democratic Party. They have no love for the people, the Constitution or the Law.

It is time to reign in the entire intelligence community and hold them accountable to the laws of this country. Domestic spying for political purposes needs to be made an example of so intensely that no federal employee will ever consider doing that ever again. People need to loose their careers and go to jail over the way Trump was attacked by the Deep State.

An outrage-----Trump cannot trust anybody, yet I'd say Trump is doing some amazing things.

........after Trump’s stunning election victory, the Republican establishment was allowed to staff out his new administration........

These bad actors

USA is at a crossroads.

Either it will be a Republic or a banana republic.
Can’t be both. One side has to be vanquished.

I tend to be VERY skeptical of wide ranging conspiracies. Yet I find myself drawn to the Q crowd and mesmerized by the possibility of an entrenched bipartisan cabal of “death to Trump” state wonks. It is not so much that they hate him or what he believes (I don’t think Trump has any true deep rooted philosophical or political beliefs), but rather that he is opposed to their parasitic existence and blood sucking self engorgement of power and money at the expense of us all.

Trump’s getting a lot accomplished and that’s IN SPITE OF THE WEIGHT OF THE LODESTONES AND DEADWOOD trying to pull him down. Amazing.

Trump has had to overcome lodestones and deadwood to get things done over his entire career.

He’s built skyscrapers in New York City having to deal with city bureaucrats and a unionized work force, for example.

True, I should have more faith in Trump.

Still, fighting the Democrat Establishment, the Republican Establishment, the Intelligence 'community', and ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, Twitter, Facebook, PBS, NPR, the New York Times and the Washington Post and every other newspaper in the country ... must get rough every now and then...

The potential of breaking someones rice bowl produces pure hate. I was never a fan of the Sopranos but one attitude caught my attention. Any attempt to reduce the scope of their rackets was described as ‘taking food off our table’ or ‘taking bread out of our children's mouths.’ This is the same socipathic or just pain anti-social mafia mentality that colors the mindset of the beltway establishment. Our government has become our enemy. How this will end I have no idea.
