This clip of Sharp Smith is a pretty good summary of my current feelings on the matter.

Good to finally see your response.
also good to see you are quoting Fox news as an authority. I could never get away with that.
so what is this "right to know' that you and Shep Smith are talking about? Is it a constitutional right? Was it in a law passed in 1799? All I asked you was what is this right you are asserting, and all you can come back with is a second person quoting this right. If I have a right to know, I want to exercise it. I want to know what is said when Schumer and Pelosi meet privately. I want to know what is said when the DNC meets or one member calls another. I want to know what the UTEP game plan is for tomorrow night.
I asked you to explain about my right to know. You can start anytime.
Right now, I would like to know, and I have a right to know, what were your criticisms of my timeline of the Russian takeover? There are a lot of logical inconsistancies with the story of Russian meddling and influence, and I hope I pointed some of those out for the ones willing to see. What did you think of that? where do you disagree.
As for Flynn's phone call to the Russian Ambassador, nobody has yet shown an attempt to conduct diplomacy on his own, including the wiretappers. Nobody has shown an attempt to wrest policy away from the President. At worst, just a guy who would be office in a month saying that then, he could be more flexible. No terms agreed on, no agreements hammered into place.
So, I still think this is hysteria, and you are caught up in the mob (little m) who is acting emotionally to the Russian threat instead of thinking about it.
The press can ask. They can dig. That is the freedom of the press from the Billk of Rights. But they do not have a right to an answer. Nor do they have the right to go beyond security protocols. The leaker did not have the right to decide to leak.
That's the way I see it, anyway. If I am wrong, I would like to know where Seal team Six is deployed and their next mission. I have a right to know.
My son went though Russia about six years ago, tranversing the country East to West. If I were a Cabinet appointee, I think this would just be more proof of how Russia has taken over our government. Another log on the fire of hyteria. But I'm not, and we can all be thankful for that.
Busy today. Will respond to your responses when I can.
