Leakers are different than whistleblowers, and I think Trump has as much right to look for leakers as any other President.This level of arrogance, authoritarianism, and contempt for the Frist Amendment by this ‘administration’ should come as no surprise.
Obama threatened to toss journalists in jail. Must be that Kenyan dictator blood. Or one of them dreams of his father? You are such a little sheep.

CNN's Tapper: Obama has used Espionage Act more than all previous administrations
"The Obama administration has used the Espionage Act to go after whistleblowers who leaked to journalists ... more than all previous administrations combined."
— Jake Tapper on Thursday, January 2nd, 2014 in a broadcast of CNN's "The Lead with Jake Tapper"
Triggered!You’re but-but-but-Obama-ing the shit out of this thread which is about Trump, so....all signs point to yes.And yet you support TrumpAnd you double down on the retardation that is your train of thought.
I voted for him because he was a good candidate and had a good first term.
Why did you vote for McCain (who you no doubt now call a RINO or worse) and the Mormon Robot?
You voted for him because you were a star struck groupie programmed by all the jesus shots of the guy on TV. Never mind the fact he went after jurnalist who printed shit he diddnt like, yet Trump is some how shitting down free speech for whining about leaks? Na, stupid points to you. Along with some dishonest as well.
But but but Obaaamaaaaa
Do I support Trump?
You are a sheep through and through. You need to go and see some other threads where I dog like right on Trump. I diddnt even vote for Trump, but I wish I did, not because of any policy, but because he was NOT Hillary. You and your ilk are nothing but territorial tribal mother fucker. If you had one brain cell you would look back as a whole at how the government has gone after journalist from Token Negro, all the way back. I did point out though, how as of yet the Donald has not threatened to toss any news people in the clink. Not to my knowlage anyway. If he had I post it right up here for all to see.
He's gotten stuff done. I don't agree with a lot of it, but he's moving forward on his agenda, whether I like it or not. He is NOT entirely incompetent or stupid. I do think the job is overwhelming him, though, and I worry about the talks with No. Korea and all the related trade scuffles and tariffs and retaliation and .... foreign relations is not his thing.*look* incompetent
Since the revelation that President Trump (or someone acting on his behalf) compelled senior staff to sign non-disclosure agreements — in essence, preventing them from speaking about their White House service — much of the focus, and rightly so, has been on the improper presidential attempt to stomp on government employees’ First Amendment rights and attempt to prevent employees from speaking to congressional oversight committees (i.e., a violation of the separation of powers). Former White House ethics counsel Norman Eisen explains, “The courts have long recognized that apart from classified information, government employees have a First Amendment right to speak.” He explains, “No president has attempted before to secure the kind of sweeping hush agreements that are alleged here because they are contrary to that principle.”
There are other issues at play, including one several Right Turn readers have asked: Did these employees, by giving something of value to Trump, in essence illegally “pay” for their government jobs? Eisen thinks that there are plenty of problems aside from the First Amendment one. “The NDAs as described in the press also appear to run afoul of many other laws ranging from those protecting whistleblowers to ones forbidding officials from demanding anything of value in exchange for government jobs,” he says.
If candidates for administration jobs wrote out a $1,000 check to Trump to get hired, few would doubt that is anything but a bribe. Likewise, if Trump demanded $1,000 to hire someone, we’d all agree that amounted to soliciting a bribe. So, is the exchange of an NDA — something plainly of value to Trump — somehow different?

interesting argument, but the main issue is the idea that these people work for trump.
they work for us, and i can't believe that every republican is so consumed with hatred of clinton and obama that they're willing to have this poltroon be their legacy.
the author is a conservative, btw.
Barry O threatened to jail journalists just because. NDE is reasonable.

No, but bottom line is, it's what matters.getting stuff done =/= competence

A Non Disclosure Agreement is a signed contract. A contract which is invalid when the terms of the agreement attempt to hide a crime.
I knew I forgot something.This level of arrogance, authoritarianism, and contempt for the Frist Amendment by this ‘administration’ should come as no surprise.

We won't know until all the facts are laid out in Court, or before a Grand Jury. I make that assumption since an innocent man would not act in the manner as does the President.
However, if Trump is put under oath, and claims, I did not have sex with those Women, the burden of proof will fall to the trier of facts, see:
Evidentiary Standards and Burdens of Proof Overview :: Justia
If the trier of facts finds the women credible in a civil proceeding, Trump can be charged with perjury, and that is a high crime, indeed. Thus the H. or Rep. and Speaker Ryan will be put to the test, and that may lead to the Constitutional Crisis if Ryan does not put forth an article of Impeachment.

I would think the Freedom of Information Act would trump any nondisclosure agreement, but I'm no lawyer. Just have my doubts about how any nondisclosure agreement would be enforced since it's the government's information.

Forget about the left. I asked you a question.are you loving this shit show? Every single day is either a firing, a scandal, a twitter rant, a porn star, someone quitting, someone spending our money to live large, lies and fabrications. I'm puzzled to what you cheering this administration for? I suggest you go overseas and see how laughing stock america it became, it's embarrassing to say the least.Another butt hurt loser thread!Lol!
Yes, the left starts one silly thread after one silly thread after another. We have a serial bomber, another winter storm pounding the east coast, evacuations on the west coast and the left is more worried about this? Lol!
