It's not that I like Dan Coats, but he doesn't strike me as someone who would stand for treason.

I actually think he might be the mystery administration official who wrote the anonymous op-ed for the Times back in September.

I don’t think he much appreciated being thrown under the bus by Trump right in front of Putin at their summit, and I don’t think he appreciated being thrown under the bus today.

So if you are Dan Coats do you stay and try to be a voice of at least opposition to outright treason?

Or do you say screw that and do the Mattis thing and quit?

Yes, we know that Putin apparently exercises some control, as does Anne Coulter, but there is no reason to think that Trump can be controlled or influenced by others.

There is no voice of reason.
