Rick Wilson Tweet: No one will ever forget, or forgive.
Text of the full thread follows the initial tweet.

Speaking of that, the idea that *anyone* inside the Trump Admin is "the Resistance" or "the Steady State" or ANYTHING other than complicit in his corruption, illegality, and overall fuckery is a risible lie.
Some whisper to reporters and columnists that they're "fighting the good fight" or "trying to keep him under control" or "doing good policy" and some reporters and columnists believe them
If they believe that, they're fools.
But most don't believe anything of the sort.
Reporters, being reporters, will continue to listen and write stories based on these absurd claims.
For those still inside...
You're not patriots.
You're complicit.
You're not quiet heroes.
You're witting stooges, enablers and toadies.
In the end, "But judges" and "but regulatory executive orders" won't be on you tombstones.
Quisling. Coward. Traitor. Servant. Co-conspirator.
Those words will hardly suffice.
The excuses and rationalizations you make to yourself in the dark of night -- "I'm making the best of a crazy time" and "Without me, it would be worse" and "No matter what he tweets, I'm doing good" are as hollow as your nights are sleepless.
That's the secret we all know.
You know he's guilty.
You know he's corrupt.
You know on his best days he's barely coherent and sane.
You know the damage he's doing to this nation, our security, and image in the world.
Don't lie to yourself. The guilt will consume even someone as bad as you.
You will *not* get to tell the story later. You will*not* get to laugh it off as a crazy lacuna in your otherwise sterling career.
You're marked with it. The stain is on you.
ETTD is real, inevitable, and excuses don't expunge it.
Using the "I can't talk because of his NDA" or "I want to protect exec privilege for the next GOP President" is a lie, and you know it.
"The election will decide it" is a lie, and you know it.
"I can't change anything," is a lie, and you know it.
Excuses are over.
If you want to stay in the Administration, embrace it all, publically.
The lawlessness. The graft. The treason. The compromise. The cruelty.
Dine well, drink deep, and imagine justice and history will be kind to you.
They won't.
Some of you, in the long after, will make the same weak excuses that every servant of evil makes.
"I was following orders."
"I had to, or someone worse would."
"We didn't know."
"Without me, it would have been worse."
"We never imagined it would get out of control."
Same song, different era.
No one will ever forget, or forgive.
Me least of all.

Somebody must remind these WH fools (Anonymous included) that we're not buying ANY of their shit.
Sums it up.
