Good lord.

The POTUS is a threat to national security.

So dumb he beat Hillary and the democrat machinery and defied all predictions to become president. Dim witted was hillary clinton being fooled by GWB to support the invasion in Iran. Dim witted is using a personal device overseas despite being warned not to. Dim witted is calling ISIS the jv team.


Putin was far closer to Obama and hillary.


Putin is now tight with the dems and supporters who leak information and use character assassination and lies to promote a campaigh of hate mongering against trump.


Obama, not trump, renegged on ,issles promised to Poland to please putin.


Obama defended putin in a debate with mitt


hillary okayed selling 25% of our uranium supply to putin


obama allowed putin to hack government databases for 8 years before he finally told putin in his gruffest big boy voice, " now you cut that out!"


hillary exposed classified into to russian hackers


hillary's confidant sid blu was making business deals with russia while working as hillary's undercover advisor and paid by the clinton foundation


obama shared classified info with Putin on syrian terrorists before Russia began to back assad...and was celebrated by the press


Russia annexes crimea and obama sits on his hands.


Obama eased Putin's economic burden finanacing terrorist nations by realeasing 150 billion dollars to Iran who sponsors terrorists across the globe and set the middle east on fire. This allowed Putin to step up and befriend Iran.


Fraternizing with Russia was at its peak during Obama administration.
The russia investigation will lead directly to obama and hillary, not trump.




Are you a paid Russian hacker?

"Functioning" and "thriving" are two very different things.

Trump has every right to purge the source of the leaks from the Obama holdovers ( and even the republican neverTrumpers) just as Obama has to purge the Bush holdover leakers.

This is especially true with Trump since so many misguided people see it as their patriotic duty to cause problems for him even though what they are really doing is hurting America.

Trump needs to seal the leaks and to do that heads will need to roll.
So Trump will be leaving then? He blabbed secrets that he shouldn't have.

As time goes on, I think that most Trump appointees are finding out that to Trump, loyalty is a one way street and only in his direction. It is highly likely that one of his appointees is the one leaking information.

Those in public service, who believe they don't have to obey their executive officer, and / or seek to undermine his office, are in violation of their oath of office, and are NO GOOD.
They should be fired, indicted, and convicted.

Why aren't you and all the other "I hate Trump Club" members demanding a Special Prosecutor to find and jail leakers if you're so concerned all of a sudden?
Afraid what might come out?
What you seem to forget is you're relying on alternative facts - the never before heard of term created by Trump's spinmeistress.

The fear you are talking about seems to come primarily from Trump devotees who choose loyalty to Trump over loyalty to country. If there are leaks that implicate Trump and his people in crimes against America, they cannot be ignored. If you disagree with that, maybe you need to move to Russia, Turkey, Syria, or any of the other countries where those speaking against the leader are quickly silenced.
