Obama had no people whatsoever using the FBI, DOJ IRS etc to push not only his interests, they actively pursued his far left agenda and terrorized his political rivals well. Eric holder said he was Obama's "wingman" at the DOJ.
Its straightforward really. You put your hard core supporters in charge of the vital federal security agencies.
What did Trump do instead?
He put hard core Obama supporters in charge of the security agencies.
Not sure what he was thinking.
Did you see the massive change in the DNI when Trump put Ric Grenel in charge for just 3 months?
True, but Obama is a progressive Democrat - they have the prevailing winds at their backs when it comes to the MSM, Academia, the entrenched Deep State Bureaucracy, the UniParty Globalists, and CCP foreign influence.
President Trump is totally fighting against the wind in all of these regards - it is simply unrealistic to argue that since Obama could reshape and politically weaponize his entire Executive Branch on day one, then Trump ought to have been able to do the same.
Remember, Barack Obama was awarded a completely undeserved Nobel Peace Prize. Donald Trump, who actually earned the Nobel Peace Prize, was impeached instead.
