Victor Davis Hanson: ‘Completely clean out’ rogue government agencies
American Greatness ^ | 29 Sep, 2023 | By AG Staff

Posted on 09/30/2023 6:09:54 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Victor Davis Hanson, speaking to host Dan Proft on American Greatness’ “Counterculture” podcast, said that it’s necessary to “clean up and break up” rogue government agencies that “lie with impunity.”

“How do you stop the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, the local prosecutors from doing what they’re doing?” Hanson asked Proft. “James Comey, Anthony Fauci, Robert Mueller, Andrew McCabe — that lie with impunity?”

“You’d have to go through and completely clean out and break up those agencies.”

This full interview is available on Rumble, YouTube, and Spotify.

In his interview with Proft, Hanson offered an analysis of the current U.S. political climate, focusing on the prosecutions of former president Trump, who faces four indictments and 91 felony charges as of the date of the interview.

Hanson also shared his views on what “counter-revolutionaries” must do to end the abuses of the Left.

Hanson is a renowned American military historian, columnist, former classics professor, and scholar of ancient warfare. He is a distinguished fellow of the Center for American Greatness and the Martin and Illy Anderson Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. Hanson has authored several books, including The Second World Wars, The Case for Trump, and the recently released The Dying Citizen. His insights and analyses on political and historical matters are widely respected and sought after in academic and media circles.

Fire them all and re-hire them based on their record.

A good plan. At least the top several levels.

Do that with every government agency, no exceptions.

Military also.

You're going to have to get all the moles and the closet swamp lurkers. They're pretty clever at hiding their allegiances until it comes time to sabotage the interest of the people. Good luck.

You have to demand the resignation letters of everyone in an appointed position and then start downsizing. Move as many agencies out of DC as possible.

I wonder how many of the legit swamp rats actually get hurt by the shut down if it happens here very shortly?

I bet it’s very few of them.

Instead we will be barraged by the media constantly with interviews with single minority mothers who can’t feed their kids, which I am not saying is untrue, and also showing folks in our armed forces who aren’t getting paid, which I am definitely sympathetic too, but it’s only for decisive purposes that they would cover that. The rats at the top, I bet they will be covered just fine.

We wouldn't have this problem if the constitution was followed and a foreigner born America hating pansy wasn't installed as President.

Congress by giving the executive the power to make rules and regulations that have the force of law has destroyed our Republic.

Prosecute the criminals to the fullest extent of the law. In all branches of government.

“You’d have to go through and completely clean out and break up those agencies.”

If there is to be justice, this will involve trials, convictions, and sentencing convicted traitors (e.g., James Comey, Anthony Fauci, Robert Mueller, Andrew McCabe) to be publicly hanged.
