Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

        Patriot is a good term for it. It certainly isn’t a term I’d use for many in congress right now. But I, more than anything, hope for the benefit of the millions of Americans, our country and those impacted abroad that the full story gets told (to the greatest extent possible).

        I don't expect any journalist to be a "hero", whatever that means, but your dillegence, integrity and devotion to truthtelling is not only to be admired, but respected. As is your patroitism. You are indispensible, the Ida Tarbell of NatSec and Trump-Russia. Keep on racking muck!

        It’s impossible not to make mistakes, but being cautious beforehand, and honest afterwards makes a world of difference. What I appreciate about you, Marcie, is that you clearly try to do your best, day after day. And for that, thank you. 🙏🏽

        Perhaps, but coming forward does reveal your character. Being honest and forthright leads to public trust not perfection.

        Hey I disagree. Heroism is doing something that is not in your own best interests to create a better outcome for others. Heroism is about intent at the moment of action. Standing up in the face of risk is heroic. No one knows the outcome. Only the goal. Cheers!

        I've learned much from journalists. I think I understand why they strive to avoid becoming part of the stories they tell. You risked it & though you're choosing to withhold info & though you said you may face legitimate criticism once that info is known, I choose to keep reading.

        I don't know you other than a few months of follow here. Over that time I've really come to appreciate your writing. Got big respect for what you did, regardless of outcome. It's more than obvious why you did it.
