Shadow Government

 

This post from Josh Marshall's joint  is a shocking added twist to the co-opting of Congress. According to the report, the president's* administration worked with congressional staff on crafting the Immigration ban without telling their bosses, the members of Congress!

I can't even - the gob, she is smacked...Imagine you have an employee, someone who works under your direct control, takes care of your most sensitive issues, and this person also happens to work for someone else without your knowledge. You then have a potential for divided loyalties and conflicts of interest. If you found out could you ever trust that person again? It would be like cheating in a marriage - often the damage cannot be fully repaired.

That is what Mr. T has done to these Congresspersons - destroyed the trust and confidence in their office staff. The capper to all this is that the staffers were required to sign the famous Trump non-disclosure agreement. This is like pouring acid in the gears of congress. Per my earlier post on the slow-motion coup seemingly in progress, this further undermines the Congressional branch of government. 

I tell you, you can't take your eyes off these people for a second!
