@whodoesblog Right, it's incredibly short-sighted - kind of like allowing an omnipotent executive to be built when one trusts the President!

@KardOnIce @sarahjeong @Sweet5hark Yes, I'm 100% in favor of them refusing to obey unlawful orders and/or blowing the whistle on those.

@can @MattRAllen I can't keep going over the same points. Please check my time-line where I've discussed this at great length.

@_Almaqah What's the meaning of that tweet? What interests you about it?

@sarahjeong @Sweet5hark Of all the options for resisting Trump, pleading for Deep State rouge intervention is most amoral & naïve.

@sarahjeong @Sweet5hark Yes, since I know the heinous history of IC- the war crimes, atrocities & lies- I want them under democratic control

@can @MattRAllen I wasn't objecting to anyone leaking at all. That wasn't what that tweet was about.

@Sweet5hark @sarahjeong Yes, people can blow the whistle publicly, refuse to obey unlawful orders, quit, etc.

@Sweet5hark @sarahjeong You feel the CIA & NSA are going to heroically protect the Constitution? This gets to the heart of the matter for me

@rosyna What was that tweet about?

@hjoneshojo @EquusontheBuses So rather than call you clairvoyant, I'd call you slothful and confused.

@hjoneshojo Right, and that tweet wasn't discussing anything like what Snowden did, which you'd know if you bothered to see the context

@brody_sv @sarahjeong LOL. Yes, that's not the history of the IC in the US.

@ameseh The tweet had nothing to do with leaking information. It had to do with NSA withholding info from the President they work for

@EquusontheBuses Whatever else is true, you tore a tweet out of its context and implied it had a much different meaning than it had.

@sarahjeong Having an intel & military apparatus this powerful is dangerous in best of circumstances. Rogue w/no democratic control is toxic

@sarahjeong OK, thanks. Basically: I see nothing in common w/public whistleblowing & IC *secretly subverting* the officials they work for.

@klinovp I appreciate the discussion once it moved past your original tweet.

@klinovp One person with lots of followers tore the tweet out of context on purpose. From there, lots of people lazily copying him.

@ameseh You don't understand the tweet. That's what.
