“Trump has nobody to blame but himself for this fiasco.”
Really? Well then I assume that you could have done a better job so why don’t you run for the office?
In the case of hiring an AG that would have been easy. Hand the interviewee the Comey report on Hillary and they file. Let them have it for 30 minutes and then ask, can you indict her based on that report? If they say, no. Interview someone else.
By that measure, Barack Obama was awesome and never did anything g wrong.
Having some experience in state politics / campaigns in the past, your response is right on. Politics is an ugly business, trust almost no one - even in your own party. One has to figure out how to deal with these people to get something done.
We cannot forget that Trump was a total outsider. He is not blameless for any of his decisions, he had to learn some hard lessons on the job. But at the end of the day, a lot of what he said - he was spied upon, Russia hoax, fake news, terrible people .... was mocked and worse ... yet... it is finally coming out ... the outsider was right. Who was there to help him for the American people, from the beginning? For that I will overlook some of his mistakes.
