"National security" Translation: "It'll embarrass the shit out of us, showing us to be liars and grifters."

AT THIS FUCKING POINT??? And I suppose it's YOU that will determine what is a threat to national security, you lying weasel of a man?

I guess I shouldn't be shocked, but those words jumped out at me too.

They are trying to destroy everything good and promote everything bad to destroy our country, enrich themselves personally and help their BFF, Putin.

telling the world about the location of our nuke subs?
like trumph did, already.

The media helped make Trump, now they are the target if they don't keep him in power.

Piece of shit.

These people are trampling constitutional rights (except for those ones that involve guns) in a very real and tangible way. They've defended "papers please" totalitarianism (like AZ SB1070 and Stop-And-Frisk in NYC), and now the POTUS and the AG are both defending the trampling of the 1st Amendment to cover up their terrible little dirty secrets.

They've spent years sowing mistrust in the media (and the media hasn't helped by being so profit-driven that they'll cover Trump for ratings instead of spending 30 seconds talking about policy during an election cycle), and it is now paying dividends. Be de-legitimizing the major news outlets like CNN, MSNBC, etc... they are legitimizing the fringe right-wing "news" conspiracy outlets like InfoWards and Breitbart. And it doesn't even matter, because they've sown doubt in the very idea of facts at all. Nothing means anything any more, and they can say anything they want without fear of fact checking or repercussions, so long as they make sure it's how people are feeling.

I can sort of understand Sessions' statement. The question was way to broad. Define 'doing their job'. Sessions is a total weasel, and a liar to boot, but I can't see him giving a 'blanket commitment' to the question.
