Isn't sedition the very mission statement of embedded Obama holdovers and members of "The Resistance"?

From holdovers in the White House and the State Department and the "intelligence Community" (and even the federal judiciary), "The Resistance" program has been to frustrate and delay and hobble the Trump "agenda" no matter what your actual job description is, or what your official duties are.

You admit as much, you hold the "whistleblower" in high regard because he was (as a analyst working deep in the bowels of Langly) driven to expose the President. What BS!

Same for Vindman, you say, "He was not going to stand for the Pres. trying to get a foreign power to interfere with our election" . . .

Well, first off, that's a characterization entirely driven by politics completely divorced from the fact that the power to drive foreign policy is exclusively the President's and Vindman's job, and the State Department's job is to implement the President's initiatives and agenda, not their own (or the previous administration's agenda).

Stop acting like you don't get this.



You can’t truly call yourself “peaceful” unless you are capable of great violence.
If you are incapable of violence, you are not peaceful, you are just harmless.

Same for Vindman, you say, "He was not going to stand for the Pres. trying to get a foreign power to interfere with our election" . . .

Stop acting like you don't get this.
I do get it and I think it is scummy to call war heroes guilty of sedition.

While it wouldn't change my opinion of him, I have not heard any reporting that Eric Ciaramella, outed as the "whistleblower" was a war hero . . . My sedition comment was directed to him.

Reading comprehension, it isn't just for conservatives.

What is the difference bt the whistleblower and Vindman (or all the others who are coming forward now). Nothing - so I'm guessing that they are as guilty of sedition in your mind.

That you distort, misrepresent and mischaracterize what was actually said and find it so easy to mistakenly assign a mind-set / belief to another person, explains completely why you are what you are and why you do what you do.
