Thank you for this post - irrespective of your underwear situation.
And thank God for Rep Adam Schiff!
As my checks for both Federal and other local and state taxes sail through the bank, it's nice to hope for a government run less like a Keystone Kops meets the Mob tragi-comedy. Maybe someday.

Director of National Incompetence would be a title in accordance with reality.

It’s incredible how many people in the GOP/DOJ/FBI/CIA/NSA/DHS/the Pentagon have all discredited and humiliated themselves and disgraced our nation by becoming $hitler’s enablers, sympathizers, and collaborators.

These people mentally weak, anti-ethical, immoral, and need to be beaten back and then beaten down (with votes).

The banality of evil, indeed.

Totally repulsive "presidential" behavior--and, sadly, not in the least surprising. Who but Trump's Kool-Aid drinking cult members wouldn't know he'd sink to this level? And, where there's smoke, there's fire. Far more people than the whistleblower know about horrible trash Trump has pulled. This story is the tip of the tip of the iceberg. I'm embarrassed and disgusted Trump is our president. And for Rudy Giuliani to be associated with this corruption? From "America's mayor" to mob operative--that's a serious fall, Rudy. Wake up, man.

Thanks especially for those last two paragraphs, Christopher. Clarity!

@6 Point taken. I have to agree with you. I'm just sad over Trump's ability to bring out the worst in everyone and everything he touches. Again, I know you make a good point.

There is more evidence of wrong doing hidden behind code word classification.

Go after it all.

How long has this guy been on the job? What does the last DNI have to say about this?

Thanks Christopher, excellent article. I grew up in New England, been watching the Trump family debacle for decades, they've always been their own worst enemy and DJT really epitomizes their self destructive tendencies.

I've been thinking he'd self destruct sooner or later, this just might be the start of that process.

@10 -- Thank Gawd they're able to keep all that
(mostly-untaxed) inherited Wealth in the Fambly.
The Crime Fambly I mean.
Ivanka and what's-'is-name next, anyone?
They can certainly Afford it...

@5 -- Damn, you are TALL!
Well done.
