in 17, you didn t have the events we now saw in 1918 2018. fast forward, h.r. mcmaster, he s gone and you have a president who feels more isolated, more empowered. he doesn t have the same resistance he was encountering in 2017, maybe that s part of the reason he s prepared to do the things he was not prepared to do in 2017. evelyn, to what degree to those of us very worried about the actions the president takes because of their effect on democracy and smooth functioning of our intelligence services, to what degree does the letter you signed and the letter you signed the other day, if congress isn t dealing with this and courts aren t dealing with this, is the pushback from the loh community going to have an effect? i think it can.
