He is Trump's willing lap dog, and he is everything Trump likes.

And we're about to go to war with Venezuela, so everybody is about to get VERY distracted.

Republican party has control over the 3 branches of government which is -0- accountability on their part.

Democrats, 100% accountability on their part.

WH, Cabinet, Administration, US AG, F.B.I, DOJ, US SC, etc. -0- accountability on their part.

Lower level sailors hung out to dry while not a single person above O-6 facing accountability.

8. I'd say it's Whiskey Pete's time in the barrel, but he'd think it's an all-inclusive va-cay on Kentucky's Bourbon Trail.

I think they both get fired, probably right at the start of the new year. One of them will probably “resign” however with the usual assortment of bs excuses.

the ultimate sin- by trying to imitate their "leader", they have made him look bad, and he can't have that. Making him look bad is the ultimate act of disloyality. They may hang on a bit longer, but they probably will be out before the end of next year.

and I'm not arguing against your prediction but have some questions. Can't Dump just pardon him (Kegsbreath) preemptively? Charges couldn't be filed against Whiskey Pete (hereafter I'm calling him WPK) without the DOJ being involved which won't happen because. I've seen articles regarding other nations, the UN, etc... bringing about war crimes or other charges, but not sure how that could impact anything. Also, couldn't Dump just say that HE made the order to kill the survivors and bomb the boats?
I don't see anything happening to WPK unless congress (as a whole) somehow convinces Dump to Dump WPK.
Just wanted to see yours and possibly others thoughts on this.
