Yeah, it is such an outlandish comparison.  Sort of odd that I heard the exact same comparison being made from several members yesterday in the House Oversight Committee hearings

 

Members of the house oversight committee commented yesterday that the security clearance overrides were comparable to Hillary's illegal use of a private server?

Here is an LA Times Story also making the same comparison.  (The above link seemed to be bogged down when I tried it)

 

Please don't repeat the 6 time conceded point that Trump's actions were legal.  You are beginning to sound like The Rainman, only badly concussed.

Please cite the law that Trump broke in overriding his subordinates recommendations?

The President has complete discretion as to whom receives security clearances in his service.  Full stop.

 

The prior President exercised the exact same prerogative when Ben Rhodes obtained his clearance against advice.

 

Your argument boils down to “the President exercised his justly prescribed authority in a manner completely compliant with the letter and intent of the law, but I don’t like him.”

 

Stop listening to people who are lying to you, and trying to distract you, playing on your confirmation biases in order to do so.

You mean the very same people who told you Russia trump collusion was real for two years? Those are the guys you're still listening to? 

 

Showing us all you've learned zero. 

 

Shame. 

 

Hilarious is but a shame.

One thing I have learned.  You need help.  Seriously dude. 

 

Obsession to this extent where you feel the need to harass any one that does not see it your way, is, well deranged.  Oh, I get it now.  Is that it?  Do I win something now?  I hope the prize is that you now will truly go the ***** away, lunatic!

Of course it is difficult not to savor the irony in a White House whistleblower’s claim that the Trump administration improperly granted security clearances to more than two dozen individuals. As a candidate, Donald Trump claimed that Hillary Clinton’s use of a insecure private email server to transact State Department business was corruption “on a scale we have never seen before.” Now, after all those years of “lock her up” chants, Trump’s own administration stands accused of playing fast and loose with the nation’s secrets.

But the complaint by Tricia Newbold, a career employee, that the White House overrode the recommendations of her and her colleagues is more than just ironic; it is alarming in itself. Newbold, an adjudications manager in the White House Personnel Security Office, told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that the clearances were granted despite disqualifying issues including “foreign influence, conflicts of interest, concerning personal conduct, financial problems, drug use and criminal conduct."

My characterization of your posts is accurate.

 

The fact that you disagree means you dont understand the law or it’s intent.  The President has complete discretion in choosing his own advisors, and assigning them the security clearances necessary to best advise him.  There is absolutely nothing scandalous about his choices or actions here.  Full stop.

He’s not harassing you.  He’s mocking your steadfast belief in a baseless conspiracy, which has been debunked at every level.

No, it's completely correct.  You're creating a scandal where there isn't one.  Have another toke.

The one who needs help is the man who keeps slapping away the branches people are offering to help pull him out of the river of disinformation. (that's you)

The one who needs help is the guy who called me a Putin supporter for daring to ask questions about a narrative we now know was bogus from the start. (that's also you)

The one who needs help is the guy who just figured out he's been lied to for two years, yet he decides to believe the next lie told by the very same people. (yup, you again)

 

You bring this on yourself with your refusal to think for yourself or learn from your past mistakes. 

 

Or... you can keep lashing out at the guy who's been honest with you from the jump.
