"Deep State Throat."

Intelligence community strikes back — an impeachment game-changer
BY KRIS KOLESNIK, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR — 09/27/19


President Donald J. Trump will be impeached. Maybe not convicted by the Senate, but impeached by the House. That’s my prediction, given the rapidly unfolding events in Ukrainegate. The catalyst for impeachment is the alleged CIA whistleblower and the team of intelligence community officials he is going to bat for. Trump picked a fight with the wrong crowd. Now, they’re fighting back, with the Constitution in one hand, and evidence of Trump’s corruption in the other. Game on.

You might call this team, collectively, “Deep State Throat.” They’re a Deep State, alright, but not like Trump thinks. They’re not rogues. They’re patriots. Let’s just buckle up and watch how this plays out over the coming weeks and months.

I have never seen a more buttoned-up set of whistleblower allegations than these.

To me, the whistleblower appears to have taken a leadership role, sticking his neck out to protect subordinates in the intelligence community while conveying their information to appropriate authorities through appropriate channels. It’s easy to see how the ICIG steered it to the Congressional Intelligence Committees, under the cover of great credibility, through a gauntlet of resisters.

I view this whistleblower group as of the same ilk. Trump would refer to them as Deep Staters who ratted him out. I would call them national treasures who pulled down his knickers for, literally, all the world to see.

1. I've seen nicknames for the WB... #OrangeCrush is my fave

2. Was kind of hoping the cultural reference to the whitewashed and monetized record of a sexual

assault wouldn't make it into this scandal.

3. I have no doubt that the US intelligence community hates him

... and they are patriotic Americans. Chump has been reviling them for his entire presidency, and in doing so he has demonstrated his own ignorance time and time again.

Thank you whistleblowers, you are the true American patriots!

4. OK, that phrase "pull down his knickers"

made me sick to my stomach. I would rather see him in an orange jumpsuit, pale pasty face without makeup and his head shaved. Leave his knickers on please.

5. It was only a matter of time before the IC exacted just retribution

Enough is enough and the IC refused to tolerate any further affronts to the rule of law by this lawless excuse for an "administration."

Trump and his henchmen are learning the hard way not to mess with our spooks.
