People in power obviously hate whistleblowers. We had two recently during the Obama years. One went to prison, and got put in solitary, and the other is hiding in another country. We really need to put more focus on domestic threats, while the administration yells about foreign ones.
Again, a lot of Trump's troubles seem to stem directly from the fact that he doesn't know what a lot of words mean.
A 'spy' isn't anything remotely like a 'whistleblower'.
'Oversight' isn't 'treason'.
'Investigation of hiding politically sensitive information in a code-only access computer file intended and used for top-level national security issues as a way to cover up presidential misconduct' doesn't mean the same thing as 'witchhunt'.

Is Trump a sleazy politician? Does the pope wear holy underwear?
Like it or not Executive Order 12356 - in place since 1982 gives the President the authority to classify or declassify information AT HIS DISCRETION....
Clinton used it. Obama used it.... If it was a really bad idea - they should have countermanded the EO.....
They didn't.
No big surprise it gets abused.
