The state *is* doing something to this guy. Those are government officials in the White House who are leaking his name to your Sperry guy, and they are doing it sitting in government officers on government furniture and on the government's dime.

Sperry is not my guy. He is RCI's guy. Leaking is what DC does. The complaint you make here could be made against all of the anti-Trump leaks we've seen over the past few years.

You are right that Sperry is not on the government payroll.

That wasn't my point. My point was that Trump and the GOP are not the state. This is political. Trump is being attacked by his political opponents, and he is fighting back. What's happening is political elected officials and political parties are fighting, as they do.

It's just not clear to me why that should matter, if you have any sympathy for the guy who is the target of those efforts. Which you don't.

I do, unless he orchestrated this with Schiff. In which case, he can't say he didn't expect something along the lines of this. He's poking the world's biggest bear.

And "once Schiff decided to use this complaint to seek impeachment"? As if that were Schiff's decision to make.

Let's not be intentionally obtuse here.

For one, he's not the chair of the Judiciary Committee. But you have your narrative, and facts don't matter to it, as you've explained. It's the White House's world -- you just live in it.

Are you sincerely suggesting Schiff didn't push this toward impeachment. But I will credit your instinct in trying to say it was all another committee's doing. That's the kind of advice I was offering when I suggested all of this should be run in pieces, by various D politicians, to blunt Trump's ability to focus on any one "villain," like Schiff.
