No I do not. See my early post to LS and you will see that I agree with everything in your first two paragraphs. My only point is that it could have been done more effectively had Trump not tweeted impetuously at 5 AM. These were my criticisms of the tweet made contemporaneously that morning. I stand by them even while acknowledging their good effect but say the charge could have been made to better effect.
Of coarse a charge by the president of the United States against his predecessor in office that his predecessor had committed crimes was bound to have a massive effect. The point is it could have been done without leaving Trump open to the charges which I have gone through several times on this thread. The pity is all of this downside could have been avoided and only upside effected.
Yes, I agree Trump has accomplished a lot in 73 days. Now am I still a Trump hater? Or do I have say a longer catechism or maybe even a mea culpa in order to prove that I have utterly abandoned my own powers of discernment and given myself utterly to the cult of Donald Trump? Is there a finite number of policies with which one has to agree in order to escape being a Trump hater?
As I just said in a very recent reply:
It becomes tedious to be forced constantly to respond to false allegations that I am a Trump hater. Nothing could be further from the truth. The difference between you and me is that I judge a politician on his policies, you base the policies on whether you like the politician. I think you have it backwards.
Therefore, when Trump is right as he is, for example, about immigration (except Daca) I support him but when he is wrong as he is for example about Rino care and about reneging on his promise to pursue Hillary Clinton for her crimes, I oppose him. It is not a question of liking or disliking Trump.
It is policy not personal.

That's low priority. Cleaning out the Dept of State that let her do it is the higher priority.
Trump tweets the way he does in order to A, change the subject, and B, dominate the news cycle. For example, yesterday he tweeted that Hillary was given the answers to debate questions ahead of time. He’s still hoping someone will correct him, and specify that Hillary was only given the questions, not the answers. (Bol!)
To see an expert analysis of the genius of Trump’s tweets, visit Scott Adams’ blog. He’s the one who predicted a Trump victory when the MSM was handicapping the race as 100% in the bag for Hillary. Adams grasps the subtleties of Trump’s tweets that elude many if not most others. His analysis is worth a read.
Here the points to be made would be: Is it appropriate after 75 days to decide his justice department will not pursue Hillary & are not gathering the documentation?
Would the optics not be terrible to focus front and center on that and get derailed on things that are so much more essential to the Nation as a whole?
Do you really feel we are getting the whole story about Trump's plan for working through RINO care to the healthcare plan he has promised?
The point may have been to start & to shape once the process began. He said he would veto any bill that came to his desk if it did not contain the things he had promised to the American Peole. At that point and in the Senate there was time for leverage.
