Sansa Stark: "You are either evil or you are stupid.

In Game of Thrones, Sansa Stark confronts Petyr Baelish, who had put her into a marriage with a despicable sociopath.
She says he either knew and is therefore evil, or didn't know and is then stupid.

As revelations of so many associated with this Administration (like Flynn and Manafort) come out. With the WH claiming it didn't know. The perjury of the cabinet members who "forgot to mention".
One can only conclude that they are evil or stupid.

And yes, they can be both.

Baelish went to Riverrun when he was 8 years old, carrying everything that he owned in a bundle. Littlefinger was a derogatory nickname that came from his brother, basically his brother was calling him poor and short.

against GW Bush 30 years ago regarding the Iran-Contra affair.

Either he knew and was evil or he didn't and was stupid. Either one should have disqualified him to follow Reagan.

As an ex-CIA director, my money was on version A.

The thing about being in charge is that you should be held responsible either way.
