“In releasing these memos, it is our intention to assure those who carried out their duties relying in good faith upon legal advice from the Department of Justice that they will not be subject to prosecution.

The men and women of our intelligence community serve courageously on the front lines of a dangerous world. Their accomplishments are unsung and their names unknown, but because of their sacrifices, every single American is safer.

We must protect their identities as vigilantly as they protect our security, and we must provide them with the confidence that they can do their jobs.

Going forward, it is my strong belief that the United States has a solemn duty to vigorously maintain the classified nature of certain activities and information related to national security.

This is an extraordinarily important responsibility of the presidency, and it is one that I will carry out assertively irrespective of any political concern.

Consequently, the exceptional circumstances surrounding these memos should not be viewed as an erosion of the strong legal basis for maintaining the classified nature of secret activities. I will always do whatever is necessary to protect the national security of the United States.”

He keeps walking back and forth, giving some to one side, some treacherously to the other.

One of these days, he’s going to be caught in the middle of the street, with nowhere to go ...... and then the real marxist will be fully revealed in its raw, anti-American hostility.

Its almost a daily fiasco with this clown. You keep wondering when it's going to end but it only gets worse.

Taxing us to death, spending all the money we had and every dime our kids will earn,cozying up to other marxists like himself including the castro bros. fat hugo and any left winger who will shake his metro hand. And then perhaps the worst, apologizing for the US in every corner of the world.

You gotta wonder just who low zero can go.
