I think FDR would.
The fact of the matter is, FDR's administration was shot through with Communists at practically every level, up to and including the useful idiot/crypto-comrade Henry Wallace, who was FDR's Vice President until the '44 election, fortunately FDR was wise enough to get rid of Wallace and put Truman on the ticket, otherwise America might well have had a CBAON as Chief Executive from '45 on ('Commissar-By-Any-Other-Name').
When Truman became President, he had the problem of dealing with thousands of Communist sympathizers throughout the government, and as we now know from the released archives of the former Soviet Union and East Germany, Senator Joe McCarthy was RIGHT about Communist infiltration into our government.
64 years later after George W. Bush was sworn in as President, a similar problem existed and for the most part remains unsolved to this very day, the problem of entrenched Clintonistas (might as well call 'em Communists for all the similarities that exist) throughout the federal bureaucracy, all working to thwart, delay and sabotage the directives of the Executive Branch, and our illustrious President hasn't done diddly about it. He kept that idiot Norman Mineta at Transportation, that other idiot George Tenant at CIA, and "the hits just kept on coming" because too many of the political hacks and appointees of the Clinton/Gore years were not only left in place, they were allowed to further advance their own careers, gain additional power and influence, and that is why the final years of this Administration are ending with impotence and nothing but whimpers and whining.

Can’t disagree with that statement.
Well said.
Sadly.

Ann Coulter’s book talks at length about the commies in Roosevelt’s administration, and how even Truman, who is thought to be a hard liner, was quite friendly with Stalin.
Anyway, Harkin got elected in part because he said you can’t question my patriotism, I fought in Vietnam, blah blah blah. Yet he was always known to be soft on communism, and a far lefty. He managed to get elected to the Senate in the Reagan landslide year in part because the incumbent senator was involved in some kind of scandal. Just maybe if the GOP had dumped him and gone with a better candidate, Harkin would never have disgraced the Senate.
