Coup d'état profond
Steyn On-line ^ | August 7, 2017 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 08/08/2017 6:53:45 AM PDT by Twotone

On this 200th day of the Trump Administration, the 45th presidency is under assault as few legitimately elected governments in free stable nations have ever been. The weapon of choice is, as Jeff Sessions' Justice Department has very belatedly recognized, the leak. There are three kinds of leak:

The first is the palace-intrigue stuff: Spicer loathes Scaramucci, Scaramucci hates Priebus, Priebus despises Bannon, etc.

The second is the drip-drip-drip of the "Russia investigation": Robert Mueller has empaneled a grand jury, he's looking into eight-year-old Trump property deals, he's going to flip Mike Flynn and Paul Manafort...

The third is the full transcripts in American newspapers of Trump's conversations with the Mexican president and the Australian prime minister.

Trump is clean or Obama would have had him indicted and destroyed.

Not to say that Mueller can't have him framed, but even that is a long shot because Obama couldn't get rid of him even after having the U.S. and UK IC spy on Team Trump probably going back to the early "birther" days.

The target doesn’t actually seem to be Trump, from a legal standpoint. Probably Manafort and Flynn. Possibly even the leaker/hacker of DNC emails.

Though impeachment is exclusively a political decision, there has always been proof of crimes and actual convictions before the president is targeted directly.

Trump is making a real bad mistake not firing Mueller. He is losing me and many of my friends. It is now at a point that he cannot understand what is happening. Disappointed.

Seriously? LOL We get great judges, 16 deregs to 1 new reg, getting us out of Paris Accord, weakening the ACA mandate, actually has CUT federal employees for the first president in nearly a century, approving keystone pipeline, trying to push healthcare, immigration and tax reform against the DNC and the GOPE etc and you want to say he's losing you because he hasn't fired someone that will get him impeached by enough RINOs + Dems if he does. Yeah, in hindsight he probably should have fired Comey immediately and asked Sessions to not recuse himself but a day late. He's handled it as well as can be expected with 1000 other things going on, not to mention, I still think Mueller's investigation at best gets some minor violation on one of the staff.

I think you are speaking out your butt. Everybody I know that voted for Trump are even more behind him and some that were on the fence are moving his way. He is a virtual lock for re-election in 2020 should he seek it.

As another poster above me just pointed out, Trump has an impressive list of achievements already and it's only been 200 days. So much of Obama has been rolled back already that it's like his eight years never happened. (And the Obama people hate Trump for it).

I ignore all the drama that the establishment media is trying to distract us with.

“He is losing me and many of my friends”

Just think: You lost a chance to have Hillary as your president.

Going to the Rose Garden——Obama formally nominated James Comey as the seventh FBI director and thanked his predecessor, Robert Mueller, for being “an exemplary public servant.” — abcnews.go.com

Well the weak are the first to fall in battle. TRUMPS biggest mistake so far in NOT firing the 3,400 Obama appointees and whoever advised him not to fire them. Trump will not have to fire The SP, something will happen that hell be gone.
