The CNN anchor Jake Tapper captured two former heads of the United States intelligence agencies admitting {video below} that they both believe Donald Trump is assaulting our democracy and yet Tapper didn’t ask the most basic follow-up question.
Clapper, ‘I think our institutions are under assault internally’
Tapper, ‘Internally from the President?”
Clapper, “Exactly’
Clapper, ‘I feel as though [checks and balances] is under assault and eroding’
Hayden, ‘As a citizen I totally agree with what Jim {Clapper] told you yesterday’ [said after hearing Clapper’s comments]
Does Tapper comprehend what happens if the leaders of the NSA, CIA and FBI conclude that the President is assaulting democracy? These two former intelligence giants surmised that Trump is impeding the other branches of our government from doing one of their constitutionally assigned duties; keeping the executive in check. Tapper is so happy to have people on his team (Go Hillary) he doesn’t ask the spy duo what they would do about this crisis, or what their replacements are going to do about it. If they feel our very democracy is in jeopardy, then what? Watch it all fall down? Great job Jake. Maybe when the Marines call Trump a Clear and Present Danger you will awake from your slumber. These men are dangerous.
Being alarmist about the alarmists?
