That's all true, but Trump was under pressure to pick someone acceptable to a larger number of RINOs who would have rejected anyone considered controversial. As it was the Rosentstein nomination was all about prosecuting "Russian collusion" since Sessions had recused just a week before those hearings.

In short, Trump was boxed in by a poltical nomination process which, again, was not D versus R, but reformers versus good old boys. The reformers lost. Same with Wray who was also a compromise with the good old boys.

The lack of significant FBI reform Russian collusion witch hunt is technically Trump's fault but I was of the opinion (and still am) that MAGA is much more important and that Trump had to (and actually has) made great progress while mainly ignoring that ridiculously corrupt and meaningless investigation. It is purely a political question and knowledgeable Americans support Trump.

Winning the mid terms is more important than satisfying the sanctimonous whining of those impatient souls that believe jailing Hillary is the most important Presidential objctive

So what you’re saying is contrary to his claims, he didn’t pick the best for his cabinet?
