Its no secret what POTUS thinks of those he deems to be traitors to America or damages our great country. POTUS usually reacts first then after considering other prospective will from time to time change his mind from his initial knee jerk reaction. For example when he almost legalized elephant trophy hunting but the outrage from the majority changed his mind. Made him go back and look deeper into the issue. He has clearly been the most transparent POTUS we have ever had. So I agree with him on traitors or those that deliberated put our soldiers in harms way. My defense of JA is that he was an outsider who accepted intel from an inside source (Seth Rich) which is completely different from what Edward Snowden did imo. JA was actually doing what journalist are supposed to do. They were given intel, verified its legitimacy then published it. The democrats were mad because he exposed them for the criminals they are.
