Listening to Rep. Tom Cotton (R-OK) talk on Meet The Press is pretty frightening. Chuck Todd asked Rep. Tom Cotton whether he’d been asked to speak to the press. He said ‘no’, but added:

SEN. TOM COTTON: Chuck, I generally try to refrain from much comment about what’s happening in my work on the intelligence committee or the armed services committee, because I want to make sure that I stay on the right side of the line about classified information, which frankly, I wish more people in the media and more of the Obama holdovers in the administration were doing.

I’m waiting for the purges to start. Personal loyalty is the only measure these days.
