STFU, Idiot.

It is a threat.

Expect a lot of new “evidence” to show up in Muller’s mailbox.

Ridiculious claim. POTUS is _the_ executive power of USA Federal government. If POTUS violates lawful law, he would have to impeached, then tried.

Panetta has ‘dirty hands’ along with Hussein O. and Hillary all three involved with BENGHAZI...he is living in FEAR..

PLUS he worked for Bill Clinton, he knows where the bodies are buried and all the ‘secrets’ that Bill and Hillary hide...

yep...HE IS WORRIED..and the dude is rolling over to 80 years old this year....

Seems like it would be more of a Constitutional crisis if the memo is not released to the People.

I totally agree. But there are more pressing questions not yet answered...

What enforcement arm of the government outranks the Secret Service? Does that gay SS woman who would not do her job if Trump won the election still have a job?

The Democrats rebelled against a lawfully elected President and took up arms against our Republic.

Around 2009-2010 I first asked the questions...

If two of the three branches of government (and their subdivisions) go rogue, what recourse does "We The People" have?

I totally understand that "which two" determines which of the possible options would be at play, but I have yet to see serious discussions about the question, never mind an authoritative answer.

It seems certain, however, that the question is no longer hypothetical. And if the question is not addressed, the only result will be chaos at best or a shooting civil war at worst.

That it would create a "Constitutional Crisis" is a non-answer. If Constitutional criminality is the cause, and the perpetrators are identified, the ultimate penalty screams for swift application without delay.

"Due Process" at some point becomes meaningless once the Rule of Law is not respected and observed by all.

NO Leon - Just NO. Releasing the memo over the objections of the Dept. that misbehaved is not a crisis. It is accountability - the truth hurts, so they are squealing.

Please use correct (not politically correct) language when describing a pervert.
Gay SS woman should have been LESBIAN or QUEER.
look up the word GAY in an older dictionary (pre 1975) and you will find it has nothing to do with PERVERTS.

I am old enough to remember the Church committee that found a lot of CIA abuse.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Committee

of course, Church was a Democrat and his damage to the CIA ability to spy did a lot of harm.

Why is it always those who ignore the Constitution that fret over a potential “Constitutional crisis”?????

“Panetta was in charge during Benghazi.
Panetta also needlessly burned Eric Prince, revealed that he was a CIA asset.”

It makes sense Panetta objects. Once things begin to unravel, he knows there’s a good chance he will be exposed for crimes.

I commend Ponetta for his service. Without him Bin Laden would still be alive... Obama never ordered and never would order him taken out... Ponetta did it anyway.

However, the politicization of the intelligence agencies and justice department by the previous administration is Treason. These actions should be exposed and there is nothing compromising national security in the memo.. there is no factual incorrectness inter memo. The only objection the intelligence community has given to the memo is that it is incomplete...

Then by all means release the memo and then let’s investigate to get the rest and make it complete.
