To get a LUNATIC elected president of the United States!

They should be held responsible. And, if they’re not careful, the “lunatic” will get off for being crazy, and they’ll all be left holding the bag.

Great plan, idiots.

These people thought it was important enough to tell the American people:

Defense Sec. Mattis

Former Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer

John Bolton

Former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly

Former White House national security adviser H.R. McMaster

Former Homeland Security adviser Tom Bossert

Cliff Sims, former special assistant to the President and director of White House Message Strategy

Omarosa Manigault Newman, former director of communications for the White House Office of Public Liaison

Gary Cohn, former National Economic Council director

Former White House counsel Ty Cobb

Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson

Former US Special Representative for Ukraine Kurt Volker

Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions

Anonymous (wrote a book)

There were examples to follow. Many of the above people wrote books or made public statements. In maybe one case regarding the above, trump might have fired the person but the person was going to quit anyway, IIRC.

Then there was Nicki Haley who never really said anything bad about him, so I didn't include her in the list.

Many of the above people were unable to accept what he tried to pull in Ukraine.

Maybe they’ll take the opportunity to rethink their choices. So far they’re proving they’re as dumb as rocks and Con targets.

Another of their lies bites the dirt!

Just because Barr, Jared, etc didn't promote the big lie they did nothing to warn the American citizens about the plot.

Is this about being an accessory to a crime? Isn't it sort of like a Good Samaritan rule?
