I thought about it for a while, and I don't think there exist any secret rules that govern the reaction of the IC should they suspect the president to be a foreign asset. I don't think there should exist any rules like that either, because... actual coup. But what's going to happen anyway is multi-institution object fixation, where gradually everyone grows to loathe Commader Bonespurs, and OOPS, it turns out that evidence of wrongdoing just keeps popping up without anyone needing to even begin talking about commissioning a search of anything.

Also, comedy news / late night has been fantastic lately. Seth Meyers has been doing more deadpan, and I don't think it's intentional. The jokes are better than ever, probably because the content provided by the White House already comes in the form of a joke, but his disgust seems to genuinely overwhelm his appreciation of the comedy. Colbert has cracked me up more times than ever over the last week, but maybe I just need to laugh more than I ever have before.

The best comedy I've seen lately is the result of what happens when a Christian counselors association made a last-minute swap of a dead-serious pastor into a slot previously scheduled for a Christian comedian. It just gets better and better, I promise. I feel so bad for the guy, but, ugh, it's too funny.
