Trump is building a Cabinet ready for political, legal war
Ass. Press via Axios.com ^ | July 22, 2017 | Mike Allen

When President Trump makes more changes in his West Wing (insiders suspect August or September, but who knows?), any new faces are likely to be in the mold of Anthony Scaramucci, age 53, the pugilistic Wall Streeter known as "Mooch" who was named White House communications director, beginning Aug. 15.

The announcement: "Scaramucci, a successful entrepreneur, financier, and founder of SkyBridge Capital, ... will oversee the entire communications operation, including message development and strategy. He will report directly to the President." (Usually would report to the chief of staff.)

The President is building a wartime Cabinet, for political and legal war. One longtime ally who's likely to have a more visible, frequent role: Newt Gingrich, husband of Callista Gingrich, Trump's choice for ambassador to the Vatican.

Trump relishes fights, and creates plenty of them. But now he's in a real one, with special counsel Bob Mueller signaling that he plans an expansive, exhaustive investigation aimed at Trump, his relatives, and current and former political lieutenants.

Trump ought to require Mueller, after some amount of time, to show the public that there are reasons to continue the investigation.

If the reasons don’t pass muster, Mueller will be given the choice of ending the investigation or getting fired.

There’s a special place in hell for Mueller. Extra hot and extra painful for eternity.

If you are fighting a war with Deep State, I’d suggest that firing Mueller can wait...first rip the very guts out of the corrupted, treasonous intelligence structure, wipe out the leadership of the FBI, eviscerate the Justice Department and the State Department...then Mueller will be standing on an island, impotent.

I hope it’s true about Newt.

Would love to see Rudy enticed to join as well.

Even Christie is hell on wheels when dealing with the enemedia: he takes NO prisoners.

For what it’s worth, it is interesting to note that the then President-Elect, during the transition period, interviewed Ted Cruz for the position of attorney general.

What’s not being reported is how much house cleaning Tillerson has done and is doing at State, most of America is ignorant of how much progress he’s made. Now we need the same at EVERY Department.....
