Burning the spies, because they made the Republican President look bad.

Same thing Cheney did to Valerie Wilson.

It's amazing to me that Gabbard still has a job after Trump publicly proclaimed that she was wrong when she testified to Congress that Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon.
Either she's wrong thus utterly incompetent at her job and is putting the country at grave risk or Trump is completely ignoring the national security experts and putting the country at grave risk.

What's not funny is that this is the kind of s^%# you uncritically support while acting like you're the one with good, well thought out opinions.

"according to two sources with knowledge of the matter"

I like my sources to have names.

In a perfect world, sources wouldn't need to hide their names, and law enforcement agents wouldn't have to hide their faces.

#6 no, you just want to rationalize ignoring this.

Your source does have a name, -------. It's Trump.

Of course the CIA dem Deep Staters would be against something that implicates some of them of nefarious actions, and that has nothing to do with spies overseas.

You're the guy who says he doesn't want the Epstein Files released.

Because it's better to suspect that Trump is a sexual criminal than prove him to be one.

MSgt doesn't mind if a few spies die, to protect Trump.

It's really sad to see what happens to old white men.

MSG is still getting all his information from Facebook memes.

Like most Trump supporters.

They're the dumbest people in America and they're constantly voting for republicans to make all our lives worse.

It comes as no surprise Tulsi would expose CIA operatives.

It's what Putin wants.

MSgt?

Believe it or not, he really is truly the victim he so badly needs to be.

They have a name for it; Persecutory-type Delusional Disorder with Shared Psychotic Disorder.

I mean, there might be some truth to it.

Could be, MSgt got worked over in Vietnam, and he's still mad at LBJ and the Democrats for it.
