I can only assume that most Rs in Congress are blackmailed up to the eyeballs. Otherwise, why would they just accept this submissively?

(Now I’ll read article...)

Yeah. Wasn't it just a few months ago we were assured that the corp of permanent DC employees are apolitical?

I can't imagine why everyone who walks out isn't fired. If they can't be fired, relegated to janitorial staffs or something, and not in the WH or anywhere near HOR and US Senate buildings.

I agree with that. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if the Deep State approves which Dem and which Repub will run for office: the Deep State chooses those candidates that they can blackmail if they need to. It’s all about blackmailing the Congress.

If they've done things for which they can be blackmailed, they should be gone anyway. If things are being made up about them to try to blackmail them the blackmailers should be taken out with extreme prejudice.

It only began with Craig Livingstone. They enjoyed 8 years of Clinton during which I believe, Terry McAuliffe, set up a private spy agency for them amassing all kinds of dirt on everyone. Then 8 more years under Obama’s reign of illegal data mining. What a coup to set the most invasive army, the IRS, looking into our (now) electronic data records!! In fact, it just occurred to me that getting access to everyone’s private life via highly confidential relationship with our doctors was the triumph of Obama’s career! Airtight— their hold on our lives is becoming airtight.

The thread just above yours says “Executive”. This would be the President. I am surprised President Trump doesn’t boot them as soon as possible.

Of course, if he did now, the press would go even more insane.
