"Yeah, I just hate it when somebody exposes corruption and illegal activities."

Don't be stupid. He should have gone to the proper legal authorities, not the media, and he should have done it in the open. He set the precedent for anonymous leaks to the press by anyone who has a beef with official policy. He undermined democracy by setting the foundation for coup d'etat via leaks and media/bureaucracy collaboration.

Isn’t it amazing how this never happened before him and even more incredible that it most certainly never would have happened in the future if he hadn’t done what he did?
