"Acting" DNI Joseph Maguire is just another unamerican trump toady

[PSPS]

It came out today that, despite the whistle blower report being about trump's own actions, the first place he went with the report was ... to trump.

1. Seal turned weasel.

2. I don't think he is a trump toady.

I think when the real test of his patriotism and courage came, he failed it.

And today, when he had a chance to face up to his failure, he failed again.

He needs to resign and leave all public service.

3. The bureaucrat who Kafka warned about

That guy was weaving and dodging just to hold onto his acting job.

4. He wasn't ready for this challenge, got his wires crossed because he hadn't been marinating

In corruption for as long as the people who were able to confront the utter assault on the constitution. He made the wrong choice in referring the matter to WH counsel and the DoJ. He didn't foresee the lawlessness practiced by this govt. It's difficult to identify evil when it's not part of one's nature or personal experience. A normal person expects some degree of fairness, an interest in obtaining rule of law. Unfortunately, that's not the world he's working in.

5. He made some bad decisions and I wish he would of admitted that today but he did not lie. nt

6. Maguire is a disgrace!

He tried to balance himself on both sides of the fence: display his loyalty first by going to the White House/DOJ (one and the same), then, when it was revealed, he praised the Whistleblower when confronted. What a coward! He knew that he was suppose to present the complaint to Congress but he wimped out! A complete disgrace!!!!

7. I don't agree, what I saw was a man who was used

to following orders for his entire life. Part of this paradigm is that the 'chain of command' is most important. If a person is a lower rank, then they always go to the higher command with a situation that they can't decide. Maguire is the ultimate bureaucrat, never thinks for themselves. He should never have been placed in the position he now holds.
