Lederman: Trump, the Tates and the sycophants that sustain them

Good calling out of those complicit. Just doing their job is the modern equivalent of just following orders…:

…But here’s who does know: The people around them. The suck-ups and sycophants. Around the Tates – their security, business and legal advisers; the woman hired to handle their PR after their arrest in Romania. And in Washington, the President’s people – other elected Republicans who pretend their leader knows what he’s doing, his press secretaries who berate the media at his behest. Outsiders too, like the soccer organization that awarded him a peace prize. They know – and they stick around and cheerlead anyway. They aid and abet. They amplify, normalize. It’s a game for them – or a job, well-paid, while real people suffer. Monsters.
