Susan Rice was just on Rachel and just about called trump a traitor.
She stopped short of saying traitor. She said that his failure to act upon the intel of Putin paying bounties was a colossal failure and an extreme case of disloyalty to our troops and country. She also implicated Esper and Pompeo and all the other top admin officials who all receive the PDB, which included this intel months ago, for not immediately walking into the Oval office and telling the president that they would immediately convene the National Security Council to track down and verify the intel and then work up options for him to pursue in retaliation, ranging from at the lowest level—diplomatic measures to mid-level possible economic sanctions to top level military options.
Since they all failed to do their duty, and trump hasn't reacted to the Russian aggression to our troops, and has had several phone calls and interactions with Putin to try to get Russia back in the G-8 as well as inviting him to Washington, they all are complicit.
The above scenario would of course be if trump was also in the loop and was about to call them in. Rice said there is no way for trump to be out of the loop even if trump and McEnany claim he wasn't informed, as all of those other officials are duty bound to inform him and work up the above options.
Again, there is no way for trump not to know. He ignored it, allowed the aggression against our troops to continue and made continued overtures to ingratiate himself into Putin's favor.
Rice was so steely and straight forward in knowing exactly what to do, IMO she should be a front runner for VP.
