Hal, this all makes horribly compelling and possibly correct assumptions. I think even more so based on what happened with Zelenskyy in the Oval Office and the US voting with Russia at the UN. It really seems like Trump has overtly capitulated and abandoned America’s role as the guardian of democracy. I can see a lot of what you say unfolding perhaps quietly in the background without us becoming aware of the issues given who is now in charge of National Security, Homeland Security, the FBI and CIA. I am sure sanctions will soon be removed, all impounded or potentially impounded Russian assets will be returned and yes issues of security may be divulged. The harms being perpetrated and the damage that Trump has and will do not just to our democracy but to our entire way of life and well being are going to reverberate for years to come. He is most certainly setting us up for a cataclysm from which it may take decades to recover. The stupid electorate has allowed an evil monster with only a desire for personal power and wealth to rise to the position that he promised he would take - that of a dictator. It only takes one day to bring the castle to the ground as Kris Kristofferson once sang about in his song Darby’s Castle and just like that castle America is going to tumble to the ground. What benefit that will ultimately be to Trump I don’t know, but I don’t think that he ever imagined what harm he could do not just to America but even to himself. Just like all his businesses in the past, he just can’t help making a horrible mess of them. It’s all part of his psychopathology - the lack of self awareness and ability to really appreciate what his actions actually may result in happening. Of course none of this is of any consequence to us, the innocent citizens of the world, who will have to suffer the consequences of his cruel and pathological behavior.
This feels more like the US is being treated like a "distressed" company being sold off in parts by hedge fund managers. And Don and JD are not the managers, just the compliant staff.
Hey, you two, I hope you are surviving Sunday. Here's what I say about janitors, at least in many federal buildings. They would not pass the FBI security clearance to get the job. They might have to shred classified documents and obviously be able to plant bugs. Bondi might have passed before she got to be AG. Now she looks like a Russian agent.

We are this, too. Wait until the Postal Service is privatized.
They are bit even qualified to be janitors.
At least I would trust the janitors with the keys.
