You are well within your rights to hold such an opinion. We all have the right to hold any opinion. I'm more focused on the soundness... <g>

He has to go on record as being strongly against them in order to prevent them, all while engaging in his own manipulations which often involve selective leaking. I have no complaint about that. I know how things work. I just can't square it with plain talking and straight shooting. You can't have it both ways.

Leaking is a fine political art. It's part and parcel of political life. It can, as we've seen, be a crime. Can a President leak classified information? The President has the authority to declassify classified information, but there has to be a process for him to do that. He can't just leak classified information and think that is the process to declassify classified information. When you have a President that is beyond the law, then you can't call what we have a Democracy. No one can be above the law.
