I agree with your take on things. President Trump and AG Sessions are realistic enough to know that they were handed an out-of-control situation. We’re a nation and civilization half way down that slippery slope, close to the tipping point of no return. Peter Strzok helped our cause yesterday. He’s creepy and deranged, and proud of it and of whatever he has planned out.
The key is managing our expectations. My question to my fellow Trump supporters is if you had to choose between putting HRC and other Obama criminals in jail OR Trump succeeding in his MAGA agenda, which would you choose?
I think that was always the choice. If he had prioritized criminal prosecutions of past administration officials - he would have had to “weaponize” his DOJ and FBI in order to do it, (just like Obama did) and in so doing he would have given up the moral high ground. The moral high ground is respecting the constitution - the co-equal branches, the limitations on government authority and intrusiveness - Obama and his minions abused executive authority and broke the trust of the people.
Trump had a choice - A) expose the corruption but let the people hand down the verdict via the voting booth or B) use his executive powers including the DOJ, FBI, CIA, NSA, IRS and State Department - in ways never intended by the founders - to criminally prosecute a Democrat administration for crimes against the state.
If he had chosen B, he would literally have gone to the dark side and become his enemy in order to destroy it.
He would have lost the support of the American people who just want to live their lives. They don’t care about political retribution - they just want true government reform.
It’s hard to let the Democrats skate, knowing what they tried to do to us - but what if Trump can destroy them politically - sort of like banishment?
I think that’s what he’s doing - he’s making them look like a bunch of jack asses - the voting public is seeing it - and that’s good enough for me.
If Trump sticks to his MAGA agenda and continues to resist the temptation to use his executive powers to pound his political enemies into the sand, he has a chance of going down as one of the greats - a true leader who returned power to the people - AKA Ronaldus Maximus.
