1. Caught off Guard? They were neither consulted or informed..

And Trump never followed due process...

2. on MSNBC right now... Frank Figluzzi

just said that tRump may have discovered the way to get around the Justice Department to stop the Mueller investigation.
He said id tRump strips Mueller of HIS security clearance then Mueller would not be able to get into his building, would not have access to government docs. and would not be able to carry out his investigation.

He could just go around Justice and revoke the security clearance.

THIS IS SCARY,

3. And Nixon couldn't figure that out as well?

6. Nixon would never have ever considered stripping any detractor

of his security clearance. He was a crook bu the was not a tyrant or a traitor.
The Watergate investigation was the investigation of a domestic burglary, not an issue of national security and Russian Interference in an election. The issues are apples and oranges... also... the Republican party forced Nixon to resign. The current Republicans are doing NOTHING...NADA.

4. I've been wondering about that.

This may be more than petty vindictiveness.

5. Then what is Trump waiting for?

[Zoonart]

7. I think he is waiting to see if anyone will stop him.

I think he is not waiting much longer the wheels are coming off. JMHO.

8. Didn't the Congress vote to protect Mueller and the investigation?
