so of the members who were, someone might have been more direct. Am not sure if they limited it to members of specific Committees (probably) but they know the background of this rogue President. However they have also seen him do the "TACO" dance too, so you never know what the final outcome might be.

I suspect they figured the neocons were purged out of the administration due to the Steve Bannon "Globalists" rants (although even he caved and ditched his own "anti-intervention" demands after this invasion) ... but apparently they were not.
