Trump is running over the Dems. They are scared shitless of what he will find when he takes over. Bolton knows the score as well as anyone. If notSOS he should be given a high position to feret out all the illict information in DC. I;m thinking something like Inspector General over all Departments. In Obama terms, a CSAR. Trump would do himself well to make Bolton very powerful. He knows the game and will get on it quickly. We could know about the corruption and have proof by March ‘17.
I believe the plan is to have Bolton be the #2 man at SOS, which of course would be key because Rex would be a rookie in his role.
I think this is the same kind of proposed pairing you see at DHS, where the thinking is to have Kobach be the #2 man. In both cases, hard-core guys who might be a challenge to get approved directly at the cabinet level.
I like the approach.
