Has President Trump been blackmailed by McCain and Lindsey?
I know nothing of that. He is fed information from the likes of those, that’s for sure.
But Trump as to keep the Saudis who fueled the whole Syria war with jihadists and money happy and work with Israel that sees Assad rightly as an Iranian ally and their enemy whether Israel or its supporters want to openly admit it or not.
Israel has defined Iran as an “existential” threat, right up there where Trump puts North Korea or worse.
It's more likely it was Sessions who got blackmailed.
McCain definitely played a role in the development of the Steele dossier, but it was Sessions recussal from all things 'Russia' that got the Mueller 'special' investigation rolling.
Its thru Mueller that these deep state rats have leverage over Trump and, if the investigation isn't concluded by summer, will be the instrument with which they try to remove Trump from office.
The House will impeach Trump if the Dems win back the majority and the Senate (regardless of who is in control) will likely convict him if he doesn't play ball their way...which for now means letting the deep state control foreign policy.
