Nah. That’s so much bilge.
He hasn’t been breaking any laws, and it’s just silly to say he has to do things like the ambassadorial staff demands he do it.
Why did he do an end run on these folks? Because they were a part of the deep state.
All these weasel’s being called by Congress right now are folks whose only real complaint was that Trump didn’t go through them.
Trump is temperamentally perfect for the job. Why? Because he is drawing out the deep staters to criticize him.
If he was George Bush none of this would be happening. He was too go along to get along. And the thanks he got for that was to be attacked anyway.
He has made it out unscathed.
They haven’t touched him so far.
Uh. He’s the President dummies!
Actually, I know part of the inside story on this one and it has nothing to do with Trump. It has everything to do with Democrats, Microsoft, and Boeing.
Bezos (Amazon) has a massive intelligence contract, hosting much of the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) systems. Bezos used his clout with Obama to get it, so he might want o be careful about throwing stones in his glass house.
“They may have the money, they don’t have the expertise.”
Actually, they do. They didn’t 15 years ago, but they do now. I just spent last Friday with the military discussing AWS. The Azure guys are also very good. AWS still beats Azure in many areas, but Amazon lost due to Obama politics.
Built one of the first “servers” anywhere on Earth with more than 12 drives? Also the biggest database on an Intel chip system in the world at the time?
One of the early adopters of Linux? Knew Linus?
Early virtualization adopter?
Built numerous data centers?
Yea.
So, I say $10 billion for just the DOD is bullshit. And, as with most of these contracts it will be twice that at some point. It’s an absurd amount of money. For $10 billion they should be able to handle all the automation for the US government in the northern hemisphere.
