I'm surprised that Ratcliffe isn't spying on Witkoff at this point.

Hey, man.

Honestly.

It's a wild and woolly deep state.

What can I tell you?

Yeah, no.

I mean, there's going to be probably all kinds of incidental collection, as it's called, because we'll be spying on the Russians, hearing what the Americans are telling the Russians, right?

Leave that all to one side.

Everybody has written out of this equation.

Seb Gorka was like, I can't believe we're doing something crazy like this.

I mean, he's an asshole, but he's not under any illusions about Russia because he comes from Hungary, right?

He knows-

What's up?

Everybody's written out of this except this small cadre of sort of agents of not even – I mean, yes, Donald Trump, but like they're in it for themselves too.

They want their side action and they want to give kickbacks to the boss.

So America has become – we have devolved into an authoritarian regime in this respect.

It's all this sort of –

boyars and cronies doing the work of the czar and blah, blah, blah.

I mean, we are like Russia in many respects.

Anyway, it all goes sideways because it's, you know, the minute it gets leaked, people start reporting and litigating.
