The analogy of Waltz to Pompeo is interesting. I get Mara-a-Lago raid, inside job, media-circus-scandal vibes from this whole affair.

Is Waltz a stealth loose cannon who’s not truly ideologically aligned with the MAGA agenda and whose ulterior motives present an unacceptable security risk?

Putting the Never-Trumper (and former Never-Trumper) neocon agenda before national security and national interests is commonplace amongst the ideological and anointed ones who know what’s best. Just listen to the deranged rhetoric coming from Commander Mark Levin of the Forever War Chihuahua Brigade. For instance, that it’s evil and un-American to deny profligate Ukraine unlimited US weapons and money for the industrial scale meat grinder.

Aside from Blumenthal’s obvious liberal biases and anti-MAGA sentiments, there’s some interesting info. here. Make of it what you will.
