THE DISARRAY OF MCCAIN'S MIND

    The illegal release of enormous quantities of classified information gathered by US intelligence agencies in early days of the Trump administration has been astonishing to many Americans.  But to this commentator it comes as no particular surprise.   The Obama administration was generally characterized by fascist behavior in many respects.   It routinely attacked the press and all those it perceived as political enemies.   The many departments and agencies of the federal government were stacked with political operatives who shared the Obama contempt for the modern nation state generally and the United States in particular.

    In the midst of what became a virtual intelligence coup d’etat many who have warned of intelligence gathering dangers have been vindicated.  Rand Paul is among those heroes of the Republic who stood almost alone.  Johnny McCain, the elderly RINO from Arizona, was a severe critic of the few who stood alongside Paul.  But, in 2017 Johnny McCain can be forgiven for the disarray in his own mind.
