During a recent rally in Pensacola President Trump remarked off-the-cuff: “we have a rigged system, we really do, we have a rigged system and we’re working hard to change it“. Against the backdrop of recent revelations with the stunning politicization of the FBI and DOJ, those words ring notes of truth, and also caution.
Over the past two weeks we have seen releases from the DOJ Office of Inspector General that appear to be building toward a much more consequential outcome. The corruption is jaw-dropping. The very heart of the U.S. system of Law (DOJ) and Order (FBI) is now being questioned. I would argue the IG obviously understands the need for caution within these discoveries and the recent releases are all purposeful, timed, planned and targeted.
Consider what is at stake; and further consider that you were given the task of revealing the outcome of an investigation of such consequence. How would you introduce the findings to the larger U.S. electorate? Given the timing of the releases from the IG’s investigation, I think that’s what we are seeing in the past two weeks. A prosecutor laying out his case over the course of multiple media cycles.
Who will bring the change - Unknown.
I wrote I did not have a crystal ball. However I know enough of history that when things get too far out of balance and when the ruling class breaks the social contract with those they rule over, bad things happen.
The French Revolution is a good example. At the time the King Louis XVI had absolute power over his subjects. But he and his cohorts were so out of touch with the people that they pushed them beyond the breaking point - heads rolled over that mistake.
Our current ruling class is so out of touch with the American people that they continue to push social boundaries and open borders and the break down of morality that all it is going to take is one straw to bring down the house of cards. What that straw will be is the mystery.

From the tread on the CFPB
1. White House budget boss Mick Mulvaney moved quickly Monday to rein in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, imposing a 30-day hiring freeze and other new rules as the fight over who’s really in charge of the agency heads to court.
2. Mulvaney said he was surprised at the unchecked powers afforded to the bureau – including his.
3. “I am just finding out about the powers I have as acting director and they would frighten most of you,” he said. “It’s frightening to think about how little oversight Congress has over me now as I am the director.”
4..When Cordray's "appointed" director Leandra English came in the next morning, she found her belongings moved out of the directors' office and her badge wouldn't even work to get into the directors hallway, she had been removed from director email access as well. The "coup" folks were caught completely off guard as they never thought Trump/Mulvaney would do something so brazen
5. Mulvaney is off to a great start, but before we eliminate the CFPB, let’s use it for a couple years — maybe sic them on Mueller (he must be at least peripherally involved in financial things), and Soros, and Move On, and a bunch of things. Then we can get rid of the whole things once we’ve used it.
6. (From Wikipedia)....A 2013 press release from the United States House Financial Services Committee criticized the CFPB for what was described as a "radical structure" that "is controlled by a single individual who cannot be fired for poor performance and who exercises sole control over the agency, its hiring and its budget." Moreover, the committee alleged a lack of financial transparency and a lack of accountability to Congress or the President
Looks like the CFPB is the ideal tool to deconstruct the various rouge agencies.

Pray every day for our President, his staff and the brave I.G.’s. Speaking of whom, where is J. Russell George, the I.G. from the IRS. There was another man of integrity. I don’t ever hear anything about him anymore.
___________________________________________________________Good point. Where is the IG? Why would the current IG(DOJ) be any different? What is being done to stop the current corruption? Why are these people still in power? Why are we paying $Millions to Mueller & Co. to subvert our POTUS? Why are we paying an AG who has done absolutely nothing to admitted crimes?
I certainly hope so. From reading the article, this could be where the swamps starts being drained. On the other hand the deep state seems to have blackmailed people to prevent swamp draining in the past.
The thing I am becoming more concerned about is the McCain relationship to the fake Steele report. Is McCain a tool/fool of the deep state or is he a leader of it. And to think some saw him as Presidential material.

Some say it was fanfiction, but it may be that white-hat IT guys in the DOJ/FBI/NSA were sleepered in the zero admin, and captured everything.

(jmo)-- He's a fool and a tool and NEVER a leader.
Except the media is ignoring it.“A prosecutor laying out his case over the course of multiple media cycles.”
They probably won’t even report on it until someone is convicted.
Today I suggested inhttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3613311/postsa possible way out of that system. Somebody has to do it, somehow.
Thank you. Admittedly, I’m shooting from the hip here, but with things as bad with the FBI as they evidently are, maybe it’s time to drop a lot of our assumptions about the need for a federal law enforcement leviathan.
You are right!
