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.
This has nothing whatsoever to do with the president's ability to de/classify information.
I confess to being uninformed about the sanctity of the Pope's undergarments.
