Lawrence: Sounds like Coats is about to get fired.

[OliverQ]

White House not happy about his interview today. They accusing him of going rogue.

[dem4decades]

1. A Republican putting country over party? He has gone rogue

[HipChick]

2. The person that has gone rogue is sitting in the WH..

Putin Rogue..

[Funtatlaguy]

3. Hopefully, Trump fires Coats.

That will further infuriate the intel community and some Repub Senators.

[H2O Man]

16. Good call.

[madaboutharry]

4. I must have been wrong about the quality of the interview.

I thought Andrea Mitchell was too soft by allowing Dan Coats to avoid answering some of the questions.

Apparently, he pissed off Trump anyway.

Dan Coats must have given too many honest answers!

[Thrill]

6. His reaction to finding out Putin was invited to the WH

Had to Piss Trump off

[nolabear]

5. Coats might be the happiest man in the country right now.

He can’t do his job. He was hamstrung. He’s the latest in just having no fucks left to give.

[NastyRiffraff]

7. I got the feeling watching that interview

that he was done pretending all this is normal.

[chillfactor]

8. maybe, just maybe....

there are still a few honest republicans who put country before protecting the asshole president. Congress full of protectionisms who put the lying president before the country and may they all go down in flames during the midterms.

9. At 75, I imagine He would be happy to spend time with the grandkids

rather than having to have every word he utters analyzed. That ain't no way to live.

[MattP]

10. I've got Kristjen in the pool to replace her ability to kiss up has been unbelievable

[cilla4progress]

11. But - why

laugh? So privileged.

If all the worst is true it won't be their skinny white asses on the line.

[Garrett78]

12. Coats has been extremely mild in his criticism, if you can even call it criticism.

He even said it's the president's prerogative to have a private meeting with Putin, which is debatable. At least when it comes to phone conversations, federal records law forbids private conversations.

Coats has been asked direct questions and has answered with little more than statements such as, "I might have done things differently."

But even that, no doubt, has Trump furious.

[phleshdef]

13. Part of me hopes they do fire Coats.

It would be a few more significant inches added to the proverbial rope.

Then again, I also like the idea of the few people that knows their asses from a hole in the ground sticking around.

[spanone]

14. He cares about America, he's not a team player...

[H2O Man]

15. He is.

It could change, but at this point, he will not last long at all.
