Sorry Bill Kristol....way past congress knowing.... (Original Post) pbmus Mar 2018 OP

He has a point. There would have to be a legal basis for requiring staff to sign NDA's pnwmom Mar 2018 #1

Obviously ? There's no guarantee with the Repugs. OnDoutside Mar 2018 #2

The article implied there was no legal basis marylandblue Mar 2018 #3

And if there were none, or the reason was found to be bogus TheSmarterDog Mar 2018 #4

Actually, Kristol is anti-Trump. nt tblue37 Mar 2018 #12

But he is not anti-Republican by any means. TheSmarterDog Mar 2018 #14

True, but he won't support Trump on the NDAs. nt tblue37 Mar 2018 #15

Maybe hes being snarky? blake2012 Mar 2018 #5

Kristal knows damn well this Repug Congress - as a whole - will not demand anything of Trump. He's their master.

LOL, he won't even support all the laws they pass, thus violating his oath of office and they won't hold him accountable!

They are intimidated because they don't know the thing they signed it's worth shit.
Trump is a bully, and he will bully these people because they won't know any better.

It will take somebody like Mueller to explain it to them.

He is certainly being sarcastic. Kristol has been strongly anti-Trump since early on in the GOP primary process, but has also been upset about the GOP dropping the ball on checking Trump.

While I'm not pretending he's a friend of the Democrats, he's an ally in the battle against Trump.
