It doesn’t matter.
Any first grader with any political acumen whatsoever could have written this Op-Ed. There wasn’t one thing in that Op-Ed which I haven’t written on this little rogue Thunder blog of mine.
And who really needed Bob Woodward to write a book describing in great detail the complete embarrassment which is the rogue presidency of Donald Trump.
Who could really be surprised or should be surprised?
It doesn’t matter.
What does matter to date is that not one GOP congressional member other than the recently deceased John McCain has shown any political courage at all. Not one of them unless you count the soon to be departed Bob Corker or Jeff Flake.
Not one. Not one GOP congressional leader who I guess never read anything about Watergate or the role Howard Baker played in the final days of Richard Nixon.
Who wrote this NY Times Op-Ed?
Lawrence O’Donnell claims it was Dan Coats. Or it could Jim Mattis. Or it could be John Kelly. It could be Nikki Haley. It could be Rex Tillerson. It could be General McMaster Or it could just be me writing on this blog what I’ve written to date over a hundred times.
It could be anyone.
Or it could just be the collective voice of America stating the obvious.
Was it a game changer?
I doubt it.
There won’t be a game changer until a GOP congressional leader locates a set of balls and some semblance of a moral conscience.
