“He had no idea they were trying to set him up. He thought he was working with Americans.”
Then he didn’t deserve to ever become a General!
Well, I will regretfully agree with you he should have known better. He expected them to act like fellow Americans.
We know this was his mindset because Strozk and the other FBI agent (forget his name) showed up at the White House and he invited them in, no attorney, nothing. He thought he and the FBI agents were doing the work of people making government work for the citizenry, not doing the work of vindictive Leftists looking to throw a man in jail and spy on others for their own political purposes...which is EXACTLY what they were doing.
He had no other expectation other than doing things to help the governing process. Little did he know.
I would hope nobody else makes that mistake ever again.
