Tune in to see if I win Trump Bingo tomorrow.

(6,699 posts)This is what happens. Sixty respected, career professionals call this pig out, and a handful of disgraced clowns come to his defense. So you see, "both sides".....blah, blah, blah. That's enough for his low mentality fan KKKlub to be satisfied.

(19,896 posts)I haven't heard anyone make the case (yet) but I personally think intelligence professionals like Brennan and the others who have considerable national security knowledge and experience could/should be covered--though not legally bound--by the concept of "duty to warn." The public needs reliable sources who have the background to know when it's time to blow the whistle; someone on active duty may be afraid to risk being punished for it.
