The leaked audio of Steve Witkoff coaching Kremlin officials on how to manipulate the President is not just another scandal in an age drowning in them. It is a rupture — a moment when the machinery of the state tries to warn the country about what is happening inside it.
In this live talk, I break down why this leak matters far more than the headlines it generated. Not just because a U.S. envoy was advising Russian officials on Trump’s psychological vulnerabilities, but because someone inside decided Americans needed to know. That act—choosing exposure over silence—is constitutional patriotism in the oldest sense of the word.
This conversation is about treason masquerading as diplomacy, the psychology of oligarchic capture, and the unexpected places where institutional conscience still survives. The republic is wounded — but it is not passive. And this leak proves it.
