Will GOP Put Up With Possible Trump Treason Just To Roll Back New Deal

I think you have to seriously wonder whether Donald Trump and senior members of his administration are actually actively aiding and abetting Putin and the Russians. First, there was the decision to force the immediate resignations of all ambassadors and make them return to the US. Today we learn that the Trump team has apparently forced the resignation of the entire top level of career bureaucrats at the State Department. As John Kerry’s chief of staff at the State Department says, ““Diplomatic security, consular affairs, there’s just not a corollary that exists outside the department, and you can least afford a learning curve in these areas where issues can quickly become matters of life and death. The muscle memory is critical. These retirements are a big loss. They leave a void. These are very difficult people to replace.” The loss of these critical managers as well as a lack of any ambassadorial presence means that the chances for a catastrophic misjudgment or miscommunication that could cost lives, both American and otherwise, is now enormous. That is especially true with a clearly unbalanced President. Additionally, we have learned in the last day of a major shakeup at the top levels of the Russian intelligence services, where the top cybersecurity specialist was arrested and charged with treason for apparently leaking the information about the server connection between the Russians and the Trump campaign to US intelligence agencies. Considering these arrests come literally days after the Trump team was briefed on the Russian hacking, it has to raise some serious questions. Of course, I have no evidence to back any of these inferences up, but I know with certainty that if this was a Democratic administration, we would be hearing about “treason” nonstop. I also know that the Republican Congress has been waiting a long time for a President who would sign anything they put in front of him and that this is their chance to roll back the New Deal and provide more tax cuts to their millionaire backers. But how far is the GOP willing to go with Trump, especially when an equally pliant replacement is available in Mike Pence.
