It’s certainly interesting. If the rumors are true, it’s sordid and irresponsible as hell. But it’s pretty par-for-the-course Trumpist behavior, including from Trump himself. It’d be right that Peek got a severe heave-ho, but hypocritical as well. In other news, it’s Tuesday.

Isn’t this the guy who got honey-trapped by a Russian hooker and had his electronics stolen and hacked?

The National Security Council Director was so compromised he was fired and kicked out while our president is having a trial to see whether his impeachment for criminal interference with the last election will have him removed from office and billions are being spent on a wall in the desert while schools, roads and bridges are drastically in need of funds.

Or as Mitch McConnell would have it: “VICTORY!”

“It could be a particularly egregious security violation, they do happen,” Pifer said.

I wonder if this is a “hookers and blow (cocaine)” story?

Sure am glad Clinton didn’t get elected. Think how chaotic and ill-run the government would have been.
