An entire roster of public servants has been disparaged, bullied and in some cases banished for standing in Trump’s path as he sought to pressure Ukraine for political favors, or for testifying about his conduct afterward.
Mistrust, enemies lists, and threats…
Ex-spook Malcom Nance is one of those “nonpartisan civil servants.”
Nance said the other day that, “US Cyber Command (NSA) will act on its own when it detects a national security threat.
They owe their allegiance to their oath of office and the Constitution of the United States and not to President Trump.”
Trump is the Commander-in-Chief and ‘he’ calls the shots. (A chilling realization.)
Trump is in charge of the military and the Cyber Command (NSA) is a part of the US military. (Like it or not.)
If the leadership of the US Marine Corp saw an imminent threat to our national security, would they act “on their own” to eliminate that threat?
Or would they allow the Commander-in-Chief to make that decision?
If most spooks and civil servants think like Malcom Nance then this country has entered into some very dangerous territory.
