When he released the statement after tRump's man-crush with Putin in Helsinki, Coats was putting country first. That was a nice surprise.

While, I'm deeply suspicious of him still, I hope he doesn't resign in protest because it seems to me that he's doing it out of duty and not supplicating to tRump. We need someone who puts country first in that job. I hope I'm not wrong about the guy.
