Greenwald: Democrats Shouldn't Be Cheering On 'Open Warfare' from Intel Community on Trump

by Josh Feldman | 9:51 pm, January 12th, 2017

Glenn Greenwald warned on Fox News tonight about Democrats cheering on the “open warfare” on President-elect Donald Trump from the intelligence community.

In a piece for The Intercept earlier this week, Greenwald warned that there are Democrats and members of the media who seem to be craving “the rule of Deep State overlords”:

Democrats, still reeling from their unexpected and traumatic election loss as well as a systemic collapse of their party, seemingly divorced further and further from reason with each passing day, are willing — eager — to embrace any claim, cheer any tactic, align with any villain, regardless of how unsupported, tawdry and damaging those behaviors might be.


Greenwald told Tucker Carlson that there are Democrats hoping that an “unelected faction in Washington will undermine and subvert and destroy the legitimacy of Donald Trump’s presidency” before he even takes office.

So many were taken in by that libertarian voice. I'm not sure why that happened. He was an obvious phony from the start. Many people, though, were deceived by Greenwald.

I hope we've learned something by it.

I love how he leads with the fake "Deep State" bogeyman.

There is no "Deep State". The President is responsible for the executive branch and Department of Defense and the Intelligence apparatus and can fire anyone and reorganize groups therein at will.

It is a foolish and dangerous concept to absolve the President from responsibility for any actions taken by any part of the executive branch.
