Hmm - talking about the Pentagon and military promoting things to get Nixon out of office - that was due to internal conflicts iirc between Nixon and the State Department (Kissinger) going around the Pentagon on some things.
It sounds like Trump is facing similar power struggles with the FBI, the NSA(?) and all of the other alphabet agencies that have obama people in the top levels. One would like to think that in the USA that when the people have spoken (by elections) that the ruling class would listen.
I know that we have the “balance of power” or whatever it is called with the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches so wisely set forth by our Founding Fathers, but I wonder - did they ever imagine the power that all of these other, un-elected people would have? I suppose so as I’m sure Great Britain had their share back in the day - in fact I guess it is in the Declaration of Independence perhaps:
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.”
What is being done to Trump, is what they did to Mr. Nixon; just on "speed"! That's part of what's driving me round the bend.
Our government is far too damned big and the embedded, lifetime people, are a great danger to this nation, as has been proved beyond a shadow of a doubt!
