        I'm done defending CNN, but you said "all (minus msnbc)" -- nm - mud Jul 5, 10:55 1

  - the author (Russell Vought) served in his White House and would be back again to implement it. zero chance he doesn’t know about it -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jul 5, 10:21 4
    - Again, he totally knows that it gives him the power he wants. I doubt he has any idea how it does that. - pmb Jul 5, 10:25 2
      - I think your key point is "he'll let the people who put this together have (at) it." -- nm - JaxSean Jul 5, 10:27 1
        
        Of course. Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way defending this or him. My point is just that I bet he really knows very little about the details. It's - pmb Jul 5, 10:29
