Is there not at least one patriot left in the Trump Aministration who has the courage and

integrity to sit down before Congress and say "I am aware I am violating instructions from Donald Trump and possibly violating federal law, but it is my sincere belief that loyalty to my country requires that I tell you, under oath, the following---"

Or, are we to the point where just asking that question means I am hopelessly naive and unrealistic?

Schiff's on it now. (And who alerted him to this, you think? The whistleblower? The inspector general?)

It is appalling, just appalling, that the appointed officials-- the DNI chief to start-- are willing to risk the security of the nation-- cover this up- to protect the president.

This is so much worse than Watergate.

This will make Watergate look like Nixon got a fucking jaywalking ticket and refused to pay it.

that you ask if there is "at least one patriot left". That implies that at some point there were actual patriots who care about this country in the lying criminal tRump administration.

There were not. Therefore, no. There is no one with courage or concern for country. They're all in it for themselves, their owners, or whoever it is that has the dirt on them.

The entire building was populated, FROM THE BEGINNING, with self serving assholes who thought they could make themselves filthy rich on the dismantlement of the LiberalDemocratic Establishment that has kept regulated capitalism in power since ROOSEVELT.

And since I'm offering my opinion anyway, I think theyre all short sighted idiots for encouraging the counter revolution that would necessarily happen if they were successful.

Idjits at best. Traitors at worst
But dumbasses all, to the Last Man.
