      “It’s silly to say criminals should get away with crimes, but you really have to wonder about all those masses of government officials when they feel empowered to go after gangsters, dangerous criminals, treasonous actors, and threats to the rule of law.”

      You think the power of people with broad access to surveillance to use anonymous, often unverifiable leaks to hobble representative government is without risks? It is a very dangerous dynamic. It is not even remotely the case that it can be confined to the truth, nor has it been.

      Sure, now you sound like a liberal. The point is that all of these situations can be bent to suit the needs of the one making the argument. But, sometimes there is *simple right and wrong.* Deep throat acted “illegally,” but yet do you think he helped the country? Do you?

      A lot of our politics ended up getting poisoned by how Watergate played out. It was absolutely a double-edged sword.

      I'm not buying that reasoning. "Poison?" How about "accountability" ?

      You're assuming every attempt to follow in his footsteps since then has been 100% accurate & on the level.

      You are asserting this like you have a scoreboard and are watching all the intelligence agencies act. What other resistance have you seen other than talking to the reporters about Trump’s manifest incompetence and disorganization. Seriously, where are your receipts?

      Yeah, pretty closely. There hasn’t been any sort of open revolt or disobedience, do you have some examples? Who is “taking down the C i C”? CIA, FBI, NSA...you are kidding right?

      Dan may be citing the rantings of the GOP committee questioners who don't like that some texts from intelligence officers said disparaging things about Trump. But if intelligence operatives are not allowed to talk politics & let off steam re: a vile lying racist smug idiot....

      There's a good deal more than that, but we'd be here all day and get quickly into things I'm not at liberty to write about.

          But this all still very much feels like a corrupt, lying, selfish narcissist of a man made continually dumb moves, was boorish, awful to deal with, didn't read, White House staff felt he was an incorrigible baby, and a loose cannon who had to be talked out of DANGEROUS things...

          So the ends justify any means? Finding the man reprehensible is not grounds to upend our representative government with unelected and independent government officials.

          ... all that, and is it any wonder that some officials and intelligence people speak badly of him - and yes, even speak of him as a pretty dangerous person, even a threat, who might someday need to face accountability?

          100% There is no policy making process to push back against. To the extent there is institutional resistance, it’s largely procedural, bc there is no plan. I’m glad career civil servants are softening dangerous lurches in US policy based on an unstable C i C. (If they are)

          ....and yet even given these EXTREMELY UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES where the White House occupant has the maturity & intellect of a 4th grader, people still cite a 'deep state' because some reasonable White House members noted that he was a moron and found him dangerous & unstable
