Republican Patriots: Where are you?
That entreaty was made Monday by a career CIA man who has served under presidents from both the Republican and the Democratic parties.
Former CIA director John Brennan said he watched the Helsinki news conference where President Donald Trump – on the air in front of the world – chose not to condemn Russia for its cyber operation to meddle in our elections, and chose instead to condemn the FBI for investigating it. Then Brennan tweeted:
“Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of ‘high crimes & misdemeanors. It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???”
Where, indeed?
