are afraid of something: admitting they were wrong, or losing their jobs at the next election, or coming across like spineless creatures, or blackmail, or forfeiting future payoffs, or breaking promises to the Russians, or something. I'd love to see a psychologist's take on this, and there have to be some historical precedents too. This is not just protecting T - I think there's more there.

And saying "they're all assholes" is not an answer. It's easy, but it's not a real answer.
