He and his team were beyond that, according to the facts in the report.
And what is he going to tell the public, that voters.....ok, some of us...... don't already know?
That Trump is an idiot, with a shockingly limited understanding of things like how America borrows money works?
Or that he has compromised moral and ethical values as well as financial conflicts out the wazoo?
Or that he has people like Kushner who are laughably unqualified doing work in the most complicated and dangerous part of the world? Kush is America's F ing lead diplomat in Saudi Arabia, FFS. You want that guy in charge of how America handles that drone attack?
Mattis knows what the rest of us who reside out of Trumpland knows: It's pointless talking to those of you who reside in Trumpland. Total waste of time. "I like his policies" washes away all sins in Trumpland. Mattis wouldn't be heard by anyone with a little R by their name.
And Mattis is smart enough to understand that. Nothing he or anyone outside of the Republican Congress can do about Trump.
So Mattis is just a coward & a bootlicker, who wanted the power, rather than declining to re-enter govt service to serve under a Russian puppet.
