Their weapons were inoperative. It was a Potemkin village. But every time we found total incompetence on the part of a Soviet mission, the American intelligence community would assume that it was Soviet “deception”.

Even the members of Congress had power against others [in Congress]; they had power on judges on the Supreme Court, the federal judges, all of them.

Phi Beta Iota: Worthy of a full careful reading. The Deep State is orchestrating impeachment talk centered on Trump's making America First decisions. This next election is going to be all about America First, we are not sure Trump is up to it.
