Michael Whatley, Donald Trump’s hand-picked Republican National Committee (RNC) chair, lumped in Ukraine with China and Iran when listing the United States’ “aggressive” adversaries on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures.

“Joe Biden’s feckless leadership has shown China, has shown Ukraine, has shown Iran, that they can feel free to be much more aggressive on the world front to the point where even they will try and meddle with our elections here,” Whatley told host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday.

    I would really love to know if the CIA / FBI is investigating behind the scenes any of these shenanigans as actual real foreign countries involvement in subversion of U.S. politicians (blackmail via compromising photos, etc.).

      I’ve read news where FBI insiders where quoted calling their organization “Trumpland” and that the Mueller probe and other corruption investigations only happened because a handful of department heads didn’t bow to pressure coming from both inside and outside.

      I hope it’s is not quite as bleak as that makes it sound.
