Your humble opinion is my humble opinion, anon. But I would dearly like to know who in the military top brass actually stands by the Constitution and the President. The optics of flag officers (and ex flag officers) criticizing and otherwise undermining POTUS is not good. And if “this thing” is a military operation, who in the military is involved? Who are these white hats, because what we’re seeing is a bunch of NeoCon lackeys of the MIC more concerned with their board fees and consulting gigs than the future of the USA. I’m far from convinced that everything is coordinated to deceive; it looks more like sedition, blackmail, bribery, and cluster fuck.
Hussein cleared out Mattis, though. Perhaps that was to turn him into a Trojan Horse? I’ve often asked myself why POTUS didn’t bring back some of the FOs that we’re relieved of their commands under 44.
