In a major blue city. Should I be outside with a gun staring menacingly at people? Can I join a lynch mob? Or just stay home.
Is the Manafort indictment supposed to make people accept the credibility of future indictments?
Hopefully there will be vindication for Ezra Cohen Watnik.
from wikipedia
Cohen-Watnick was brought into the United States National Security Council by Michael T. Flynn, the former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency and President Donald Trump's first National Security Advisor. He was named the NSC's senior director for intelligence programs.
Following Flynn's resignation in February 2017, the new National Security Advisor, H. R. McMaster, attempted to remove Cohen-Watnick, but he was overruled by Trump. McMaster attempted to replace Cohen-Watnick with CIA official Linda Weissgold, the author of the infamous Benghazi talking points and a member of the "Benghazi dream team", a group of intelligence community analysts assembled to counter the Congressional investigation into the Benghazi Affair.
Cohen-Watnick allegedly inadvertently identified reports suggesting that members of Trump's campaign team had been subjected to incidental surveillance by the United States intelligence community, as part of an unrelated review of privacy procedures.
I suspect Flynn was specifically put in due to his counter-intelligence expertise to bait the rats into the daylight. Samantha powers and Ezra Watnick getting pulled into the picture over an apparently trivial issue reeks of a much deeper plot.
Was it intentional to get "caught" though? It's the exact type of person you would pick to do something like that. Samantha Powers committed a political assassination based on a ridiculous argument about a blackmail possibility from a phone call because it contradicted something Mike Pence said on T.V.
