He’ll be fine. Lecture circuit, probably a professorship at a prestigious law school, and a tell-all book or two, written for him, of course. If he plays his cards right, he could parley this into a seat on the senate. They retire much better than FBI folks. Name another profession that gets to write its benefits into law.
People also assumed there'd be no consequences (i.e. Fired) for these types of actions.
It would suck to have to pay for his 3 hots and a cot...but the message to others who behave the same way would almost be worth it. I won't hold hope for a firing squad as sentence for treason...yet...
One guy's excuse is another's perjury. Since the known lying sack of cat doo has a new book coming out saying he's a demigod of truthfulness, it might be time to prosecute him. If guilty he shouldn't profit from his book at all.
Brennan, who lied under oath and was head of an agency known for assassination attempts, is simply speaking his mind. His free speech right.
Powers threatened the President. Tried to call back her threat but MY dirty Senator, pre-confirmed the danger of opposition to the "spy community".
In Russia, Putin kills the folk who oppose him. No matter where they flee to.
Boldly and obviously. Nerve gas? Exotic poisoning? Polonium? The only folk who'd use these means are people making a blatant point that they are unstoppable, like Kim jeong Un and the murder of his half brother in Malaysia.
Or the CIA/MI-X pulling a false flag operation.
Even the DNC/Clintons murder people with common means like the leaker to Wikileaks being shot in the back in a "failed mugging" aka successful assassination. No one else the Clintons or Obama are "alleged" to have murdered were killed by exotic poisons. Pillows over the face in bed, drug induced heart attacks, suicide by gun not owned by dead former lawyer, ( and off the books for fifty odd years ) all professional hits that only need basic corruption by the investigating authorities to cover up.
Following that line of facts, expect assassins after Trump to be deniable suicidal loons. Or if exotic poisons are used, the CIA. ... Brennan, Powers etc. Trying to start a war with Putin.
Golly gee, this all would sound paranoid if it was Obama. He didn't have multiple celebrity and movie and plays openly calling for assassination.
Culture leads politics. Establishing tolerance for killing Trump and "fascists" is the preparation for same.

Several dems have offered him a short-term job so that he can keep his pension. However, from what I understand, they would have to hire him as a federal law enforcement officer in order for the time to apply, and they are not in a position to do so. I don't know what happens when you get fired from the FBI, but when you get fired from the military, you get an RE4 discharge code, and are no longer eligible for service. I cannot imagine that FBI, or any federal law enforcement agency for that matter, doesn't have a similar policy. No, this guy will never work as a federal cop again.
Which, I guess, is typical of politicians...shoot off their mouths first, ignore or spin facts later, hope the public forgets before the next election.
wow, not much left in this deadspace. no more spamming altright blogs from fb1, no more cockworshipping gwbush from blake, no more mister UNIVERSITYPROFESSOR allcaps from court, just crappy comic memes and the stink of a barely-alive discus message board that requires nt server 4.0 to run.
trump said mexico would pay for the wall, it never happened and never will he lied. trump said he'd appoint a special prosecutor to try and lock hillary up in prison, it never happened, he lied again. trump said he'd drain the swamp but instead he's installed the swampmonster john bolton. draining the swamp never happened, guess what he lied again and you all still want to swallow his kock and balls.
you've all been fooled by an orange democrat from new york. the only honor you have left is to kill yourselves and save the rest of humanity from your stupidity. so please, take those guns that hillary and obama never took from you, load them, point them at your faces, and pull the trigger if you have any freedom and democracy- respecting shreds of independence left in those vacant-putin-trump-loving husks that you see when you look in the mirror and feel shameful regret.
I agree. Ban the troll. There is ZERO excuse for encouraging people to kill themselves simply because they don't agree with your media-spoon-fed views and warped sense of reality. There's a LOT of people on this mudball I don't agree with, but I wouldn't dare suggest they kill themselves because of it.
JULIE mentioned John Bolton as part of the swamp. HA! I met John Bolton at a NRA convention and heard him speak. I truly believe he is one of the most intelligent people on the planet! He really understands what's going on in the world and I'm so glad that President Trump, President Trump, President Trump, (sorry, it just sounds so good!), has made him an adviser. I would have hired him a long time ago!
I am always heartened and thrilled when the greatest insult a person can muster up os that I am a Professor at an Ivy League University . . .
I always end up thankful and indebted to these detractors . . .
Aflau took me to task for being fat so I just shed 60# . . .headed down another 27#. :-)
I, for years, have welcomed the reasoned dialogue here and the interchange of ideas from disparate backgrounds. I've learned as much here as from any of the various degrees.
So . . it it's devolved to the point where the greatest insult . . . and I confess to bewilderment as to how this relates to President Trump . . . it borders on comedy.
I'm heartened that Badweb remains a forum for critical thinking, humor and the exchange of ideas.
