I Told You So - 9 September 2019

Some, if not most, of the Dear Reader Clan may have felt my view of Trump as The Manchurian President was just a tad too conspiracy theory based. I'll gently remind the Clan that I spent about a decade (mid 70s to mid 80s) in DC. And a bit of that reporting with the Jack Anderson posse before he went totally all in with Reagan. Said reporting involved some gun running through Ghana. Who knew?

So, now we know.

In a previously undisclosed secret mission in 2017, the United States successfully extracted from Russia one of its highest-level covert sources inside the Russian government, multiple Trump administration officials with direct knowledge told CNN.

A person directly involved in the discussions said that the removal of the Russian was driven, in part, by concerns that President Donald Trump and his administration repeatedly mishandled classified intelligence and could contribute to exposing the covert source as a spy.

Is this impeachable? It sure as shit ought to be. The President isn't supposed to be a Russian Asset. Ya know?
