CNN’s Cooper: Weaponizing Military ‘Next Step’ for Trump to Turn U.S. into Banana Republic
Breitbart.com ^ | 2/14/2020 | Pam Key

CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Friday accused President Donald Trump of trying to turn the United States into a banana republic, given that he is “weaponizing the military.”

While discussing the Department of Justice is dropping its investigation into former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, Copper said, “It fits into the larger theme of weaponizing the Department of Justice against perceived enemies or just people the president doesn’t like.”

He continued, “There was a transcript released today in which the judge in this case previously told Justice Department attorneys that the handling of the case was disturbing in the judge’s words and getting close to a banana republic. Do you agree?”

McCabe said, “I absolutely agree. That’s one of the things that concerns me most about not just the president, but the way that the Justice Department has handled these matters that are clearly so important to this president. We don’t expect to live in a country where the previewed political enemies of the president suddenly become the subjects of criminal investigations in a pursuit to throw political enemies in jail.”

The prancing coprophage has nothing of merit to add to the conversation, except that his contrived histrionics can be funny, if you’re in the mood for idiocy.

Sheesh! Military by its very nature is weaponized. Without weapons there is no military.

Didn’t seem to bother anybody when Obama weaponized the NSA, the FBI, the CIA, the IRS, right? As long as his allies do such things it’s for the greater good.

And these clowns continue to wonder why people will never, under any government circumstance, give up our guns.

"McCabe said...one of the things that concerns me most about not just the president, but the way that the Justice Department has handled these matters..."

If the DOJ was actually "weaponized" as you and your butt-buddy Pooper claim, your ass would have already been rotting in a Federal prison for the past 3+ years Andy.

Weaponizing the military?! What the hell..... it’s already a weapon. If President Trump truly weaponized the military the 82nd would be storming the CNN studios.....

The military and cops are the things that SHOULD be weaponized, but then Anderson Pooper is used to getting things ass-backwards.

Well, I’d say Kathy Griffin was weaponized on their New Year’s Eve shows.

Where was this hack when Obama was using the IRS to harass conservative non-profits?

Obama beat him to it, except he castrated the military and weaponized the civilian government apparachiks.

Anybody who still supports the Democrats has a criminal heart.

It doesn’t matter if the person is a friend or family member.
