Rich Higgins is the quintessential American patriot.
A tough, blunt-spoken guy from the streets of Boston, he began his career as an Army bomb technician in the 1990s. He went from screening visitors to the Clinton White House, looking for hidden explosives, to clearing IEDs in Iraq, to working in the Trump administration as a national security expert, worrying about metaphorical boobytraps set by Obama holdovers and Deep State seditionists.
Higgins new book, The Memo: 20 Years Inside the Deep State Fighting for America First, is an eye-opening and unique book for a political memoir. It is not heavy on political wonkiness, policymaking stratagems, and personal vendettas typical of Washington, DC tell-alls. It is a refreshingly direct tale of a talented young mans rise from the enlisted ranks of the military into politics and then policy-making, only to discover the realities of a brutal and seditious opposition fighting to preserve a decrepit, America-destroying agenda that culminated in an outrageous coup attempt against a U.S. president.
What Higgins quickly discerned at the outset of the Trump administration in early 2017, however, was that there were only a relative handful (six or seven) fellow staffers on the NSC who truly believed in Trumps MAGA philosophy. Meanwhile, there were 60 or 70 Obama holdovers, and many, many individuals on the NSC staff who sought to undermine Trumps agenda, either overtly or covertly, actively or passively.

Hi.
Many years ago I was stationed at Ft. Riley KS. Big Red One (First ID).
Went to Dodge City with my six gun (actually a 1911, but don’t tell anyone).
There’s a Boot Hill there, fwiw. Had a good time at the saloon.
Hayes, Topeka, Lawrence, Arrowhead and Royals stadium. All good.
Forgot Leavenworth.

I'll bet the FBI and CIA were worse AND more corrupt.
“were”. Pretty sure the fbi still fits the corrupt title.
I had hoped that Trump would have rolled heads on day one, we didnt know the depth or extent of the slime but we knew alot were bad apples. I was frustrated when he didnt, guessing he wanted to get along, theres plenty of time for all that.
I believe had he head rolled on day one, his resistance would be substantially less
You’re right. My bad.
