He went on to say, "They were actually the most pure hearted and the most naive about the, I mean, they were, they were literally walking with pocket constitution saying no, you, you can't do this."

"They believed in the system much more than the people who put them in prison who don't believe in it at all," he concluded.

Another user cheered saying, "Let the whistle blower blow."



 

The third commentator went on to say, "I believed in our country also. My eyes are wide open now. But I have hope, because of Trump. I’m still shocked at times by what the radical democrats get away with. The lies they spew. They accuse exactly what they are doing. Praying for peace!"



 

"thank you be true be brave go with the gut," a person concluded.



 

On the other hand people questioned, "HOW MUCH MORE DAMAGE WILL THIS ILLEGITIMATE DEMOCRAT COUP DO TO AMERICA BEFORE THE PEOPLE WHO TOOK AN OATH TO THE CONSTITUTION TO PROTECT AGAINST ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC ACT???"
