[Enlightened1]

Can you guess who?

Tillerson and Kelly = traitors

I would add Bolton to that list too.

Keep in mind Benedict Arnold wore a uniform at one time too.

[davidb56]

Better add Haley on the list too. Look closely at her past deeds, such as backing Rubio, statue removal, etc. She’s a globalist and wants to be president.

[Will88]

Rush asked a very pertinent question during the first hour of his show: Did Nikki Haley tell President Trump about those who were working to undermine his presidency?

[jmaroneps37]

Nikki why oh why didn’t you tell Trump when it happened? It’s nice to hear this, however late, but it should have been reported to Potus when it happened.

[jdsteel]

The fact that she, as an insider, picked this horse to back speaks volumes.

[Leaning Right]

> in her soon to be released memoir <

That’s the key phrase right there. If you want to sell a book, you’ve got to include lots of sizzle. So exaggerate - and twist things - as necessary.

So who knows what really happened?

[bigbob]

If you listen to some freepers, you’d be adding Ivanka an Jared, Mike Pence, and Haley herself. See how dumb a list you can make.

[montag813]

I don’t believe one thing this Trump-hating open borders bitch has to say.

[Bob434]

I’m all for exposing hte two traitors who tried to udnermine Presdient Trump’s presidency behind his back- just wish she had told the prescient immediately what they were trying to do- BUT- a little bit in her defense- tillerson was picked by Pres Trump and they apparently were pretty good friends back then- so it mighta dissuaded her from coming forward then- thinking it could have meant her getting fired if she did-but still- she shoudla told- trying to undermine a duly elected president behind his back while working for him is as low as you can get-

[Bringbackthedraft]

“they were trying to save the country.” ..................... If anyone in DC says that, it usually means their $$$$$$.

[DannyTN]

Who recommended these guys to Trump?

GOPe was so anti-Trump it’s amazing he ever ended up with any good people.

[mastertex]

Why didn't she go right to President Trump and tell him....that's shucking your duty.

[glennaro]

I wouldn’t add Bolton to this list of American traitors. Although Bolton may have a passionate dislike of Trump — maybe even hatred — unlike the others I think Bolton loves our Republic and our Constitution and will not undermine the Office of the Executive by participating in this attempted coup d’etat.

[AmusedBystander]

She could have held a press conference at the time instead of remaining silent.

[shalom aleichem]

Nikki has constantly hedged her bets on Trump. Why is she just now revealing her recruitment? Did she tell Trump in timely fashion? (Maybe, because they are gone and she is his fair haired girl). But I do not trust her.

Trump has trusted and entrusted so many (too many) deceitful snakes.

[amihow]

I always distrusted Tillerson,who as I remember approved gay scout masters etc. IMO anyone who did that is a not to be trusted. Watch out for Haley and yes, also Bolton.

So far Barr seems like he has it together and is not so ambitious as to betray anyone for power.

[Phil DiBasquette]

Gotta love how Niki Hokey is always fluffed up
to be a candidate

[mosaicwolf]

So much for Semper Fidelis eh General? Oh!...and how about your oath as an officer? Something about the Constitution if I recall. This is sickens me as a retired Army Officer and it must really be sickening to many if not all Marines that take there oaths and moto seriously.

The Constitutional Structure For Limited And Balanced Government

The Constitution was devised with an ingenious and intricate built-in system of checks and balances to guard the people's liberty against combinations of government power. It structured the Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary separate and wholly independent as to function, but coordinated for proper operation, with safeguards to prevent usurpation of power. Only by balancing each against the other two could freedom be preserved, said John Adams. Another writer of the day summarized clearly the reasons for such checks and balances:

• "If the LEGISLATIVE and JUDICIAL powers are united, the MAKER of the law will also INTERPRET it (constitutionality).
• Should the EXECUTIVE and LEGISLATIVE powers be united... the EXECUTIVE power would make itself absolute, and the government end in tyranny.
• Should the EXECUTIVE and JUDICIAL powers be united, the subject (citizen) would then have no permanent security of his person or property."

"INDEED, the dependence of any of these powers upon either of the others ... has so often been productive of such calamities... that the page of history seems to be one continued tale of human wretchedness." (Theophilus Parsons, ESSEX RESULTS)

What were some of these checks and balances believed so important to individual liberty? Several are listed below:

• HOUSE (peoples representatives) is a check on SENATE - no statute becomes law without its approval.
• SENATE is a check on HOUSE - no statute becomes law without its approval. (Prior to 17th Amendment, SENATE was appointed by State legislatures as a protection for states' rights - another check the Founders provided.)
• EXECUTIVE (President) can restrain both HOUSE and SENATE by using Veto Power.
• LEGISLATIVE (Congress - Senate & House) has a check on EXECUTIVE by being able to pass, with 2/3 majority, a bill over President's veto.
• LEGISLATIVE has a further check on EXECUTIVE through power of discrimination in appropriation of funds for operation of EXECUTIVE.
• EXECUTIVE (President) must have approval of SENATE in filling important posts in EXECUTIVE BRANCH.
• EXECUTIVE (President) must have approval of SENATE before treaties with foreign nations can be effective.
• LEGISLATIVE (Congress) can conduct investigations of EXECUTIVE to see if funds are properly expended and laws enforced.
• EXECUTIVE has a further check on members of LEGISLATIVE (Congress) in using discretionary powers in decisions regarding establishment of military bases, building & improvement of navigable rivers, dams, interstate highways, etc., in districts of those members.
• JUDICIARY is a check on LEGISLATIVE through its authority to review all laws and determine their constitutionality.
• LEGISLATIVE (Congress) has restraining power over JUDICIARY, with con­stitutional authority to restrict extent of its jurisdiction.
• LEGISLATIVE has power to impeach members of JUDICIARY guilty of treason, high crimes, or misdemeanors.
• EXECUTIVE (President) is a check on JUDICIARY by having power to nominate new judges.
• LEGISLATIVE (Senate) is a check on EXECUTIVE and JUDICIARY having power to approve/disapprove nominations of judges.
• LEGISLATIVE is a check on JUDICIARY - having control of appropriations for operation of federal court system.
• LEGISLATIVE (Peoples Representatives) is a check on both EXECUTIVE and JUDICIARY through power to initiate amendments to Constitution subject to approval by 3/4 of the States.
• LEGISLATIVE (Senate) has power to impeach EXECUTIVE (President) with concurrence of 2/3, of members.
• The PEOPLE, through their State representatives, may restrain the power of the federal LEGISLATURE if 3/4 of the States do not ratify proposed Constitu­tional Amendments.
• LEGISLATIVE, by Joint Resolution, can terminate certain powers granted to EXECUTIVE (President) (such as war powers) without his consent.
• It is the PEOPLE who have the final check on both LEGISLATIVE and EX­ECUTIVE when they vote on their Representatives every 2 years, their Senators every 6 years, and their President every 4 years. Through those selections, they also influence the potential makeup of the JUDICIARY.

It is up to each generation to see that the integrity of the Constitutional structure for a free society is maintained by carefully preserving the system of checks and balances essential to limited and balanced government. "To preserve them (is) as necessary as to institute them," said George Washington.

[LIConFem]

People still try to convince me that Kelly is a hero. He, Bolton, Tillerson, et al, are scum-sucking sewer creatures.

[CincyRichieRich]

She’s still part arrogant, part swamp rat.

I just listened to her interview on Hannity...the only part I liked is her talking over him.

The other part, Hannity played her quotes and she never admitted she was wrong about PDJT...instead she said he was/is a disrupter. She is an opportunist, very self-focused...as opposed to being others focused like PDJT is.
