    Those nine bureaucrats feel they were "whistle blowers" and some on the left call them true patriots? However, it looks like they broke a multitude of criminal laws, and maybe they face jail time if found out!

    So what say you? Are they patriots or criminals? Please feel free to use the attached poll as well as making your voice view available in the comment section OR both!

    Thought: The Watergate Scandal was uncovered with the help of the illegal leaker Deep Throat.

    Someone has been watching Hannity. (I had the misfortune of turning my TV on last night at 9:05 and it was on Fox News.)

    It has been widely reported in the media. Nine high level officials.

    If only because of all of the extra training, paperwork, and other nonsense I've had to endure.

    I'm pretty much against leaks like this. My reasoning being that with the number of people in Congress, surely they could have found a sympathetic ear to handle these issues.

    Of course, we only have to look at recent history to see how politicized people's opinions on leaks have become. "If they hurt my party, I'm against them, if they help my party, I'm for them" seems to be the standard view. Wikileaks comes to mind, seeing how people reacted differently between the Manning leaks and the Podesta hacks being published.

    The Obama administration had a good record of being on leakers, still not sure why they would tarnish that record for going easy on Manning.

    They are domestic enemies which president Trump has swore an oath before God to protect us from them.

    IMO, they are modern versions of John Wilkes Booth whose mission in life is to destroy a legally elected President of the United States. An act of treason.

    In addition ALL servers (containing classified data or not) from the previous administration should be seized and scoured for evidence of illegal information sharing with Russia.

    It is referenced in this Washington Post story. I have also seen the figure in the successful New York Times.

    So REPORTING treason to the people is the outrage (treason), not the treason itself?

    Just as a reminder--- this country was literally founded on a massive exercise of treason against the king.

    I am currently reading Jeff Schaara's two books about the Revolution. Just started The Glorious Cause. Excellent.

    Of course.

    The Empire would like to remind survivors of Alderaan that the real war crime was the leaking of the Death Star plans.

    According to both Pence and Trump (several times) no treason happened over the phone.
    Stealing and making public the secrets (unless legally released) of the US of America is an act of treason.
