Agree with your first paragraph...we are in Banana Republic territory there.
Whitaker is not the issue. I think he is being handcuffed by Trump for the time being. Trump understands the Mueller travesty is winding down, and I think he is going to try to wait it out so he isn’t freshly accused of obstruction of justice.
I think it is a mistake by Trump to not act, but that is the way he goes, I think.
Whitaker is on our side. I believe he has been working behind the scenes to do what he can within the confines of the box he has been placed in.
I do hope you are right that Whitaker is on our side and not compromised. I think I can speak for most, we have seen things in this government that we never thought we would see. Just how free are we when there is no longer honesty and integrity in those who govern us?
I look for Trump to release his information during the dull days of winter when people are willing to pay attention. Right now everyone is busy with the holidays. This stuff must be exposed to a wide audience if we are to survive.
