Retired four-star General Barry McCaffrey who is highly decorated, highly respected and, as Paul Begala points out below, not at all partisan, says Vladimir Putin has Donald Trump under his thumb.
Think about this statement for moment. A retired four-star general calling the president of the United States “a serious threat to US National Security.” Wow!
This is huge and a powerful statement:
Reluctantly I have concluded that President Trump is a serious threat to US national security. He is refusing to protect vital US interests from active Russian attacks. It is apparent that he is for some unknown reason under the sway of Mr Putin.
In case you don’t know him, Gen. McCaffrey is a four-star General (ret.) Highly decorated patriot, and not at all partisan. This is important.
Republican strategist replied to Begala and said: “The country is under attack and the President appears compromised and faithless to the Constitution.”
I’ve been critical of this administration for its mendacity, corruption and vulgarity. General McCafffey has said what I have been afraid to say. No more. The country is under attack and the President appears compromised and faithless to the Constitution. Trump is compromised
Firing Andrew McCabe may end up being Trump’s biggest mistake, of plenty mistakes. It moved a retired four-star General to call the President “a threat” to our country.
