Would Giuliani or Clarke get through Congressional hearings if Trump fired Sessions and Rosenstein? McConnell has their back, and has said so publicly. In fact, he has technically kept the Senate in session so that Trump cannot make any recess appointments. You would think McConnell would show more interest in supporting Trump, since the President hired his wife, Elaine Chao, as Secretary of Transportation.

Obama's first appointment as Secretary of Transportation was Ray LaHood, a RINO. The younger Bush selected Norman Mineta, a Democrat, as his first appointment for this position. I must wonder what motivated Trump to select the wife of a RINO to the post.

Didn’t Obama appoint his own “Czars” and gave them power to do whatever he wanted, circumventing Cabinet appointees? I seem to remember him doing this, although I may be wrong.

McConnell’s wife’s family is powerful and extremely wealthy. I imagine DJT wanted McConnell’s cooperation and thought appointing his wife would be an olive branch. McConnell is an odious and powerful snake.

IMO, everything rests on the midterm elections. If patriots give DJT a traitor-proof result, watch our man be unleashed!
