Poor Trump with his mysterious Russian connections and inexplicable support for everything Putin does and says... how dare the FBI investigate him! They should learn to follow his orders-- he is the boss of America now!

In light of this, and out of worries about the White House’s ability to keep secrets, some of our spy agencies have begun withholding intelligence from the Oval Office. Why risk your most sensitive information if the president may ignore it anyway? A senior National Security Agency official explained that NSA was systematically holding back some of the “good stuff” from the White House, in an unprecedented move. For decades, NSA has prepared special reports for the president’s eyes only, containing enormously sensitive intelligence. In the last three weeks, however, NSA has ceased doing this, fearing Trump and his staff cannot keep their best SIGINT [Signals Intercept] secrets.

What’s going on was explained lucidly by a senior Pentagon intelligence official, who stated that “since January 20, we’ve assumed that the Kremlin has ears inside the SITROOM,” meaning the White House Situation Room, the 5,500 square-foot conference room in the West Wing where the president and his top staffers get intelligence briefings. “There’s not much the Russians don’t know at this point,” the official added in wry frustration.

FLASHBACK: Media Hated Partisan Obstruction to Obama in 2009

Going into his fourth week, President Donald Trump still doesn’t have all his cabinet appointments in place. But despite the Democrats’ stunts to slow down the process in 2017, the liberal media has not portrayed them as obstructionists. This is a far cry from how they treated Republicans during the first few weeks of Barack Obama’s administration.

In 2009 when cabinet appointees Tom Daschle and Bill Richardson were forced to withdraw due to improprieties, then-NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams offered his sympathies to Obama: “You lost two nominees, two appointments today. Did that make you angry, I imagine?...How do you prevent the lesson from being that, no matter how lofty the goals of the new guy coming in, Washington wins, in the end?”

Back then, ABC’s Terry Moran fretted to Obama that “you got no honeymoon,” and wondered if had been “too nice” to Republicans. CBS’s Maggie Rodriguez wondered if “it behooves the Republicans to be a little bit more in the middle?” Over on CNN, Anderson Cooper questioned if there was “a war, an insurgency by Republicans against the President.”

The following is a look back, via the MRC’s archives, at how the media lambasted Republican opposition to Obama during his first few weeks in office: (more at the link)

His attitudes towards Syria and Islam are quite possibly what led him to embrace Putin.
It wasn't long after Obama fired him that he appeared as a guest of honor at the gala dinner in Moscow.

He certainly seems to think that Putin is more of a US ally than Hillary Clinton, as he led a chant of 'lock her up' at a Trump rally.
