Former CIA officer and presidential candidate Evan McMullin questioned President-elect Donald Trumps priorities or possibly his his patriotism on Sunday morning by saying he only sticks up for Vladimir Putin and Russia.

Appearing on MSNBCs AM Joy in the Morning, McMullin was unsparing in saying there are many questions where Trumps loyalties lie.

There are two tests, the first test is this question: Does Donald Trump act on behalf of a foreign power, or does he act in the interests of a foreign power especially over our own interests, McMullin remarked. The clear answer to that is, yes, and that is very alarming.

The second question is: Does Donald Trump act under the control of a foreign power? McMullin continued. Thats very hard to determine. I think we would know more if we had his tax returns. But it very disturbing and peculiar, to say the least, that Donald Trump, that there is one thing hes consistent on, its his defense of Vladimir Putin and the Russians. He will change his views on a range of things, but not on that, over the past year he has remained absolutely consistent on that.

1. K&R!!!

2. There's is something going on there.

There's just bad feeling, and a lot of bad feeling about him. There's a lot of bad feeling about him.

Oh yeah.

3. Reality bus arriving in 3,2,1.....

4. If one is able to just look at all this objectively and without any political prejudice either way,

It seems pretty obvious that Trump's allegiance is to Mother Russia over the former USA.
The unwillingness of anyone with the power to do something hesitates on the fear of not being able to prove it yet beyond a reasonable doubt. Kind of like when they don't prosecute known Mafia members because they don't feel they have "conclusive" proof for the courts.

5. Seems that way doesn't it.

9. Another way to look at this is that most are compromised

How many little pecadillos do the other (and our own) intelligence agencies have on every member of congress? Every CEO about to be part of the trumpiska regime?

Maybe they aren't little sins. Would accepting $50,000 in cash from a foreign agent/friend constitute treason for a sitting senator? I think so.

Of course, who would prosecute now? The FBI/Comey has been disabled nicely. Any US Intel agencies are hiding under their desks.

Is the US military able to withstand the political onslaught? This could be a great novel for Clancy - but it's reality, and he may be part of it.

I honest do not believe even Tom Clancy would have been able to write about, what this election have been about... Not at the same level at least..

But it would have been a great novel, if he had been around now, and written about a novel with the same guidelines - at least I would have bought it...

12. tRump's allegiance is to tRump, and only tRump....

and to other entities only to the extent that tRump benefits.

[Hum]

6. Dance!

7. And THIS is what keeps me up at night. Trump is a traitor and we are in danger.

[MBS]

13. Yes he is and yes we are. n/t

[atreides1]

15. Yes he is

But, remember that everyone who continues to say "it's not a big deal" are aiding him in his treason! Whether it's Chaffetz of Utah, or your next door neighbor...they are knowingly aiding and abetting a traitor!

[AgadorSparticus]

17. Do you think some people just don't understand the gravity of this?

I am really taken aback this election cycle by the number of REALLLLLLLY, REALLY ignorant pepple out there.

[tenorly]

8. Of course. Charlie McCarthy never talked back to Edgar Bergen - unless Bergen had him do so.

With apologies to the late, great Edgar Bergen.

10. The Russian Mob now has two presidents, Putin and Trump.

That makes Mogilevich the number one crime boss in the universe----and could also lead to a huge mob war as the other organized crime families try to restore whatever passes for order in the world of organized crime.

I can imagine a gazillion and one ways in which this could go oh so wrong. Most of them involve a bigger crime family trying to cut out a current middleman crime family. There is no way that they will be able to placate all the various small families since many of them hate each other. Not unlike the current state of politics but with more assault rifles.

Joy is a real journalist.

14. Donald Trump is a traitor and the fact that this charade is allowed to continue is an act of treason

He doesn't care about America.

16. Russia has two Presidents, and in a few days the US will have none. n/t
