Dana Bash's Husband Calls for CIA Officers to Commit Treason

Jeremy Bash, Dana Bash's ex-husband, can wave his hands all he wants, but it's clear he suggested that CIA officers commit treason and that military officers disobey direct orders from the President of the United States.

You shouldn't be too surprised. He was one of the 51 "Intelligence officers" who lied to the American people about the provenance of the Hunter Biden laptop. 

I can't argue with the suggestion that military officers disobey "illegal orders." However, I suspect that his definition is rather expansive and includes anything that the transnational elites dislike. None of these officers, after all, will get an order that lawyers haven't vetted first. 

Still, his suggestion that the CIA should obstruct presidential orders amounts to calling for treason under the bizarre claim that officers whose power derives from the Executive Branch should ignore the orders of the Chief Executive. Plenty of these same CIA agents have spent at least the last 8 years going after the enemies of the transnational elite, pushing to censor (illegally) the free speech of Americans and misusing their power to undermine and harm Donald Trump.

It's a bit rich for one of the "intelligence officials" who lied to the American people to install a corrupt politician in the Oval Office to complain about illegal orders. Perhaps, at the very least, he should sit down, shut up, and re-read the Constitution. 

Of course, if any president turned the intelligence and military communities into his personal hit squads, the orders should be disobeyed, but this isn't what Bash is really worried about. After all, he was an active participant in a psychological operation carried out on the American people that perverted the course of the 2020 election. 

Seems to me that the soon-to-be reformed FBI should look into that. 

Americans are tired of the #resistance shtick, in which unelected bureaucrats claim the moral high ground falsely and proceed to impose their will on the American people by subverting legitimately elected representatives. 

Elite figures like Jeremy Bash exhibit their contempt for the American system of justice, the American people, and legitimate authority. Their allegiance is to a transnational elite based in Brussels and Davos. They are as committed to "muh democracy" as the Pope is to alphabet ideology.

Bash, at least until he is convicted as a felon, has just as much and as little say in our government as any other citizen. The arrogance he displays is symptomatic of the corrupt system that Americans rejected in 2016 and 2024. People like him have pushed censorship and labeled ordinary Americans as potential "domestic terrorists." They concoct hoaxes, hide the illegal acts of their friends, and illegally leak classified information at their whim. 

The Bashes, Comeys, Strzoks and their ilk should be tossed into the dustbin of history and prosecuted where appropriate. If they haven't broken the law, at minimum they should lose their security clearances and be blackballed. They are a cancer on our system that must be excised.
