McMaster “requesting retirement” from the US military. A ploy to make it seem like he only took the job because he was ordered to do it. In reality, he willingly shredded his credibility on Trump’s altar.

John Bolton once suggested Russian hack of DNC may have been a false flag operation by Obama Admin. He joins Joe diGenova, another Fox contributor, who thinks the FBI conspired to frame the President. Glad to see @POTUS surrounding himself with rational thinkers. Heaven help us.

Follow along here:
1. If Trump is capable of hiring Bolton, he *is* capable of firing Mueller.
2. From McConnell on down, GOP evasion on legis to protect Mueller is “Trump would never do that.”
3. He would.
4. GOP majority, this is the moment. It’s country vs. tribe. Choose.— James Fallows (@JamesFallows) March 22, 2018
