AT LEAST ONE SENATOR SURRENDERS THE TRUTH.

I'm sure I speak for millions of Americans when I say what a thrill it was to hear Senator Mike Lee of Utah give a scathing review of President Trump's Iran briefing yesterday.  It has been so long since we have heard anything but toadyism and flattery about our mendacious president, we were as delighted as we were stunned. The praise for this honesty also goes to Rand Paul, of course, but Senator Lee's passion and adjectives carried the day. His outraged tirade was especially welcome after seeing obsequious and dishonest praise after the sketchy, coverup meeting from such always-yes-men as Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio. It would be wonderful if this surprising frankness signaled a new candor among the Republicans; but that would be too much of a patriot's dream come true. Maybe not. If two senators realize the value of truth, maybe others will follow.
