Yeah, that was probably over the line and the fellow definitely needs to be more careful and less inflammatory with his words but do I need to remind you that his predecessor prosecuted nine whistle-blowers and leakers, constantly used the Espionage Act (a relic of WW1 and the loathsome Wilson administration), spied on numerous reporters, and even tabbed one of these reporters (Fox News's James Rosen) an unindicted co-conspirator (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/30/opinion/sunday/if-donald-trump-targets-journalists-thank-obama.html?_r=0)? I probably do, huh?
