Andrea Mitchell interviewing intel chief-cyber 9/11.

She is wildly irritating in not knowing how to interview someone who can’t voice opinions re the president, but she finally asked about cyber security and his response is horrifying.

Hopefully video will be available soon.

letting him talk, with no follow up.

She's playing the roll of your typical doormat.

Fact based questions. Things he can answer without compromising anything.

was talking about going out for breakfast with another govt official. He knows how resisters have been harassing the losers like Stephen Miller, Sarah Fuckubee and Turtle when they go out so he said, "I won't tell you where we go for breakfast, ...". Smart move but I don't think he has the same angry citizens following him around.

I learned a lot about how marginalized Intel is and how they do consider this to be painstaking, wonky, detail oriented, serious, non-partisan work. And how unhappy he is at how partisans make the job difficult.

have sabotaged everything. How can ANYONE NOT be partisan after all of the shit that's happened in the past year and especially the past few weeks.

Please excuse my passion. What's happening now is a fucking nightmare.

I won't even watch Andrea Mitchell. I remember all the shade she threw at Hillary. She doesn't need the money, can't she just retire and let someone new come in.

It's nice I'm not alone.
