I’ve said this many times in many ways, but Trump’s Presidency has made it obvious beyond the possibility of dispute that the President does not control his own government. As President, he can’t get the FBI to do its job, can’t get Bill Barr to do his job, and can’t get the CIA to release the files on the coup they attempted to lead.
Assuming he can hang on–assuming enough honest people remain in this country to avoid handing the White House to a crook who has already sold America down the river–he needs to do a thorough house cleaning. This is obvious, of course, and a very armchair general sort of thing to say, but I would start by giving a lot of power to Michael Flynn, and possibly appointing a Special Prosecutor, as he recently mentioned.
It goes without saying (although obviously it didn’t in this case, did it?) that he needs to fire Christopher Wray, Bill Barr, and the CIA gal whose name I have forgotten. I have long thought a formal, old school decimation of both the CIA and FBI (and probably the DoJ and State Departments) would be warranted, if he could figure out a legal way to do it. I will remind you that a decimation is firing (in the Roman case killing) one tenth of the whole staff. Anyone suspicious, anyone whose loyalty to truth and the law, and their duty is suspect, send them packing.
This sort of talk is easy. We need to get him inaugurated for a second term before any of this is remotely possible.
I don’t know if it is possible or desirable or even legal to lobby the Supreme Court, but I would hope they recognize that the framework of our nation is hanging in tatters, that public trust in our system is virtually non-existent–and justifiably so–and that it seems OBVIOUS that voter fraud (an undetected denial of equal protection) has played a major role in it.
I think Barack Obama won in 2008 honestly. I do not think he won honestly in 2012. We can’t know how long this stuff has been going on, but most people think 1960 was decided by fraud–old school fraud, of the sort that was done on a national scale virtually on camera (covered windows count) just now.
