My evaluation of PapaD from last year as primarily a Greek partisan was re-enforced after reading his book.

To his credit, PapaD is honest that he's not truly MAGA.
His roots are Country Club Republican (though his comment about being the only member of the Trump foreign policy team with "swarthy skin" suggests he's doesn't quite feel part of the club).

PapaD claims he was insulted when Carson's campaign manager introduced as the "Greek guy."

PapaD's time in Greece reads like Michael Corleone's time in The Godfather. Very idyllic. A temporary repose before the reality of their American lives forces them out of paradise. (PapaD was actually stayed on Super Paradise Beach)

Were Flynn and PapaD on the same page?

Does PapaD's claim that he was targeted because of his opposition to Turkey ring true?
What were his chances of getting hired with the Trump Administration when his views were not aligned with Flynn's?

I've seen some suggestion that Mike Flynn was running an undercover operation and he didn't really mean what he wrote in The Hill.
But has Trump's Turkish policy in practice been more in line with Flynn or PapaD?

Check out Q's thread for some excellent discussion.
