Is it just me or does politics these days resemble a reality television show? It's crazy. Take a step back for a moment. Regardless of your political preference, you have to admit that the last two years have been unprecedented. Remember when having an affair was enough to end a political career? Now, we have the president of the United States paying off porn stars and playboy bunnies! And last week we had the midterm elections and the drama that surrounded all of that. Now that the House of Representatives is in the hands of the Democrats, Donald Trump will almost certainly see a flurry of investigations and potentially subpoenas in 2019—a great way to end season two of the Trump presidency! No one is going to tune out now! One of the things I'm most curious about "next season" is what happens with this whole Mueller probe into Russian interference and questions of collusion. Both Democrats and Republicans in Congress seem to be trying to protect the sanctity of the investigation. I certainly hope they do. While it does seem like the investigation is taking quite a long time, I think it is in the best interest of the country for the findings to be released to the American people. If the president is innocent, then he should have nothing to fear and I don't think it's in his best interest to attack the intelligence community in the meantime. I think it's important to remember that members of the FBI and CIA are public servants. They keep us safe. In my view, attacking the intelligence community is like attacking the military. These people are serving our country and it is important to remember that. To demonize them is un-American. Speaking of our intelligence community, I've got a very interesting show for you to listen to as we head into Thanksgiving—it's an interview with Valerie Plame. Does that name ring a bell? Remember the spy who got outed by the Bush administration? Yep…that's her! This will be a fun one for the holiday week so make sure you tune in. Shownotes: Valerie Plame, former CIA What was Valerie doing during 911 What led up to her Identity leak? What is a deep state? Is there really such a thing? What can we do for the next administration More on Valerie Plame valerieplamewilson.com spyseminars.com
