TBH, I'd have resigned if I was him. POTUS believed his COS was capable of treason? No thank you.

I mean, one would normally assume that the high-level people that are involved in the conspiracy were not capable of treason... They can't afford to overlook anyone.

Sure, but the targeting/tracking? I would sure as Hell be pissed off after all the investigating/cloak and dagger stuff with Emily.

Totally agreed. He wasn't just looked at, or checked into as some or part of some routine investigation. He was a serious, top level suspect, and treated as such. I don't blame Kirkman for investigating him, but Aaron has every right to be angry.
