It's a totally different scenario... you're comparing apples and oranges. Most of the stuff I mentioned about HRC was her bypassing internal standards and communicating classified information via her own personal servers from her basement... and then playing dumb. But on the FBI note, wasn't Trump ridiculed at the time for suggesting he was under FBI surveillance?
Comparing an FBI mole and a CIA mole are also two different things, so the Plame thing isn't valid either... you're talking about a spy in a local theatre of risk who might have his cover blown and need to be withdrawn against a spy working in a foreign theatre, where their life or liberty may be at risk... and the people they handle. OK, there is a probably a bit of an overlap in role and risk but there is a difference. There is also a discrete difference between compromising an overseas US spy over somebody spying on you personally... surely you must see that even beyond your hatred of Trump.
Lol! It's not really apples and oranges mate. You're being pedantic. I never implied they were exactly the same, just the outcomes could be similar. They both highlight similar ethical and operational issues/risks. And by the way, all of the stuff HRC has been accused of with personal servers are being done in the WH right now.
I noticed you never answered my question. For the life of me I don't understand why, it's not a right or wrong issue. I'm simply curious about whether you condone Trump's actions. Surely that's not too difficult to answer?
And to answer your last question... you have one scenario where there was an outside chance of compromising US intelligence (HRC email server), an outside chance. Something that never happened. And in the other, you have a US President explicitly trying to out an informant, with potential collateral damage to other assets and US national security. And for political reasons no less. Not because the guy actually spied on him (you're completely off base there), but because Trump is trying to win in the court of public opinion
