He fired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and his brother, as well as the Ambassador to the E.U., Gordon Sondland. He&#8217;s in discussion now to fire the intelligence community Inspector General. But this is just the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most loyal StormTrumpers in Congress is Sen. Lindsey Graham. Never mind that he once said that Trump is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=40607\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;a kook, crazy, and unfit for office.&#8221;<\/a><\/strong> Today Graham is another glassy-eyed disciple of the Cult of Trump.

Private attorneys do not work with federal prosecutors to collect and analyze alleged evidence. This is how totalitarian rulers engage their surrogates to suppress opposition and stoke fear into anyone that might consider being critical or even independent.<\/p>\n<p>This is obviously Trump&#8217;s intention. It&#8217;s what he has been doing all along. It&#8217;s why he partners with the likes of Giuliani, Parnas, Fruman, etc. It&#8217;s why he attempted to extort the president of Ukraine. It&#8217;s what led to the ousters of everyone from Jeff Sessions to Gen. John Kelly to John Bolton, and so many more. It&#8217;s a mob style presidency that believes it can only survive via intimidation and punishment. And it&#8217;s why it is still so urgent that Trump be removed from office before he causes even more harm.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It didn&#8217;t take Donald Trump long to convert his impeachment into what his diseased brain thinks is a plus for him.
