Evan McMullin was once considered by many to be a potential savior for the Republican Party. Now that his campaign has fizzled and Donald Trump is president, he seems more likely to be a thorn in its side:
Former CIA operative and 2016 third-party presidential candidate Evan McMullin took to Twitter and CNN on Wednesday to defend rogue intelligence agents who break the law to leak classified information, saying President Donald Trump “presents a threat to the country.”
In response to President Trump’s tweets earlier Wednesday, in which he alleged that elements of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and National Security Agency were engaged in “Russia”-style political operations, McMullin tweeted:
By oath, intelligence officials' first duty is to "defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.." https://t.co/gVKiB98Fq2

So, the real scandal isn't that the President of the United States of America appears to have been co-opted by America's greatest adversary? https://t.co/gVKiB98Fq2

The obvious implication was that McMullin believes that intelligence and law enforcement agents are entitled to break the law based on their own views that the President of the United States is a threat to the Constitution and in cahoots with Russia.
Mcmullen reiterated his views on CNN, where he purported to speak for the concern of the agents doing the leaking:
“I’ll tell you what their concerns are. There concerns are that Donald Trump presents a threat to the country because of his — what they see as his relationship with Vladimir Putin and the relationship of his team to other Russian intelligence officers.”
McMullin’s assertion that Trump is a domestic enemy would be absurd coming from the left — but McMullin is conservative. The only thing that the two have in common is that they both lost big. And now they’re both acting like sore losers.

Leave the country, you jackass!
Why was a fat head with no brains running his mouth saying nothing.
This is one of strangest birds to fly out of Utah since Mitt Romney! Makes simular accusations and sweeping generalizations with litle evidence. But, it keeps him in the news and I suppose that really what’s all about anyway.
Sound a bit like Kennedy? He tried to do things , he was assassinated. So called Americans making an agreeing to such actions by supporting this behavior. Way to much being said with no actions against them. If you all get your wish God help us in such a society. You won’t be safe walking the streets . We barely are now. All since an because Hillary lost. The rioting an marching started before anything happened.
