CNN's Mudd Surprises Chris Cuomo by Slamming Intelligence Whistleblower
Newsbusters ^ | September 19, 2019 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 09/21/2019 9:52:50 AM PDT by PJ-Comix

Since CNN's counterterrorism analyst Philip Mudd has a reputation for being vociferously anti-Trump, it must have come as quite a surprise to Chris Cuomo on Wednesday when Mudd made comments extremely critical of the intelligence community whistleblower who filed a complaint about one of President Trump's phone calls with a foreign leader.

Chris Cuomo was definitely NOT prepared for this. Watch the blink rate on his eyes.

This whole thing is one one-billionth of the substance of Russia Collusion which itself weighed in as close to zero as the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle allows.

Philip Mudd is the great-great-grandson of Dr. Samuel Mudd, who set John Wilkes Booth’s broken leg after Booth broke it when he jumped on the stage at Ford’s Theater after he shot Abraham Lincoln.

What would really surprise Fredo is that anyone was watching his show. No one sees these interviews - like a tree falling in a forest...

There aren't enough smart ones to worry about... most democrats are pretentious, arrogant and VERY confident without back-up reason to be confident. Makes them easy to take down once 'the damn has broken' and people start seeing them for what they are...

WOW!!!

"MUDD: Well pardon me. What the heck is over the line? The President can say what he wants to Putin. He can say what he wants to Kim Jong-un. He can say to Kim Jong-un, which I think is completely over the top, "I'm going to go meet you in the DMZ, the Demilitarized Zone," despite the fact that we don't have any real agreements, as far as I can tell, on nukes and missiles. The President can say what he wants. It's not the responsibility of the Intel guys to go police the President, and go snitch on him to the Congress. Ridiculous! And now I understand. I didn't two hours ago. Now I understand why - why a former decorated SEAL, Maguire, the Head of the Intel Community was reluctant. Why does he have to go report on what the President says?

The look on Cuomo's face seemed to go from one of deep concern to shock as he made another attempt to salvage the interview to go the way liberal conventional wisdom would want it to go.

CUOMO: So, what is the mechanism for policing what is done in the White House?

MUDD: Quit. Quit, and you can talk to the media, if you want, you can write a book, if you want. If you don't like what the President does, whether you're the Secretary of Defense, whether you're National Security Advisor, whether you're Rex Tillerson, you go quit.

You don't go say "Well I have a secret avenue to the Congress" that, in my view, is inappropriate to go explain why the Intel guys have to collect Intelligence on the President, exactly, by the way, exactly what the President alleges happened during the campaign. "The Intel guys are collecting on me, a politician." That's not what the Intel guys do.

So the intelligence community has people who spy on President Trump.

What other US government leaders do they spy on?

How many democrats have they ever spied on?

Ouch! That's going to leave a mark.

Better get some ice for that, Fredo, or your head will swell even bigger than it is now.

Mudd is a libtard Trump hater.

This makes me speculate that he will be involved with the Deep State coup attempt. He is defensive.

And I believe it’s because of Dr. Mudd, and what he did to help Booth, that we have the phrase, “You name is Mudd”. Really.
