And Trump appointed every one of those swamp creatures --- Wray, Haspel, and Barr
They were all recommended to him by his advisors. Haspel was recommended by Mitch McConnell.
Trump could fire ALL of them but would still have to go through the Senate to confirm his own picks. Turtle has not closed the Senate in four years so as to prevent Trump from submitting recess appointments.
The Deep State is very deep and very wide.
Yep. Howie Carr asked Powell yesterday where the DoJ and FBI were in monitoring, stopping and collecting the evidence for election fraud and Powell said she’d been asking that for months and had no answers, that the FBI should have been right there to seize computers at the Dominion offices and the relevant voting machines, etc.
So the real question at this point is where is Trump in all this? Remember how Bannon had crowed that Trump was going to replace Haspel and Wray right after the election? How Powell had seemed to acknowledge the plan was for her to become the replacement head of the FBI? Powell was even bizarrely still complimentary of Barr.
Instead we have crickets. They are absolutely abscent and unaccounted for.
This all to me seems to still confirm the reports I had seen when Barr was first named right after Poppy Bush’s funeral, when all the Bushes had got together for an extended visit and reminiscence at the WH. That had been that the next generation of Bush sons had decided they didn’t want to continue their father’s corrupt, Deep State business and they and the Trumps had come to a truce, whereby the Mueller investigation, which was in large part ultimately being driven and enabled by the Bush machine, would wind down without serious damage and either family would refrain from going after the other. Supposedly part of the deal would be that the Bushes’ man longtime fix-it man Barr would be put in to run the DoJ in order to assure that the terms of the deal were kept.
Again, since then, that has to me continued to look like the best explanation for why Trump picked Barr and has kept him in there to really do no Swamp Draining to speak of. (A lower level scalp or two is insignificant.) Trump isn’t touching any of those agencies to speak of.
