Erick Erickson: The intelligence community vs. Trump. We're watching a low level coup, America
Fox News Opinion ^ | 02/16/2017 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 02/16/2017 10:52:49 PM PST by ForYourChildren

A lot of people who think Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning are American heroes are under the impression Donald Trump and members of his administration are traitors. Hollywood celebrities are openly calling for a military coup. Political commentators are comparing Donald Trump’s election to 9/11 or Pearl Harbor because, allegedly and with no evidence, Russia stole the election. I would encourage you to read John Podhoretz on just how bad this situation could get.

On the other side, more and more Trump supporters are treating the American intelligence community as the enemy. The president grows more suspicious of the intel community by the way and he has good reason to do so.

..

This is all going to end badly. Just about all of us were wrong about where 2016 would lead and now we can all see the worst case on the horizon.

The left is in a nonstop state of agitation calling for mass resistance. Trump supporters are looking to settle scores. Democrats have every incentive to play up unproven allegations that the Russians tampered with the election. Republicans have every reason to play up the theory that the intelligence community is out to get the President.

Erick Erickson, my-o-my, still thinks he got something to say that someone might listen to.

What a loser.

Russians didn’t tampering with the election.

Democrats are most certainly tampering with the election right out in the open for all to see.

They should be charged with treason and given the maximum penalty.

Every last one of them.

Erick is clearly a very confused young man. He vacillates between warning about Trump and Russia, but then seems all concerned when the leakers don’t give any proof of anything. He warns of a coup, but seems to think that the plotters against President Trump need to be given equal consideration as the president. They simply need to be neutralized.

Poor widdle #NEVERTRUMPER Erick, couldn’t “see” anything, if he used binoculars, a microscope, and a magnifying glass all at the same time. He’s part of the problem and should be sedated for the rest of his unnatural life, because he is a danger to himself.

The left are impotent and “mass resistance” is a joke.

We won.

Drain the swamp. Get busy. Ignore the yipping toy dogs.

I place the blame solely and completely on the Opposition Party, all those leftists.

They are consistently on the attack trying to bring this presidency down. Doing anything and everything they can think of.

Trump today was marvelous. Unbelievable. And the Opposition Party will just double down. We already see the responses from CNN and many others in the Opposition Party.

This could get interesting.

I’m betting the “Deep State” amounts to little more than rogue insiders vicariously connected to wealthy, nefarious outsiders.

I’ve been and still remain an ardent supporter of the agencies. But the politics fail to cast a favorable shadow, and that needs to be corrected internally through means of Constitutional honor and integrity. Just do it!

Speak for yourself, loser.

...and now we can all see the worst case on the horizon.

So, the idiot who got everything wrong in the election now wants us to believe he "can see" what's coming.

Fail. Again.

The right is going to have to concede the left has legitimate concerns about the Russian mess.

>First, did the Trump campaign collaborate with the Russians to affect the election?

Erick Dickless is working for Soros.

Note that the #nevertrumper wants to preemptively surrender to the left and legitimize their insane fantasies. #nevertrumpers can not be trusted and they will also side with the left. They’re cowards and 5th columnists.

The Rats know for certain the Russians have interfered with us for decades. On their behalf! It must not be happening anymore and so they are certain the Russians have changed sides.

It’s more like the Venona Project and the way the Intel Community behaved with Truman.

But, we are not watching a coup. All one has to do is observe the President handling the media. There will be a cleaning, no coup.
