I don’t understand why there has been no push back from anyone other than a few commentators.”
The problem is that unelected career bureaucrats (the deep state) run all three branches of government and the MSM. Elected politicians and their appointees hold the very top positions but they quickly learn nothing happens unless the deep state bureaucracy wants it to.
The deep state can not only slow walk and ignore their boss’s agenda, but with the help of their counterparts in the FBI, CIA, IRS (you name it), they can gain leverage over their supposed bosses.
Those who are above reproach can still be rendered ineffective until they resign out of frustration.
Given the power weilded by the deep state the swamp can’t be drained by purges or Saturday Night Massacres. They only change the people at the top, while the corruption remains.
The only hope I see of draining the swamp is to expose the corruption so the people see it for what it really is. Right now, people just don’t know what a sham the federal government is - they still think it’s basically good with some bad mixed in. Really it’s 99.9% rotten and people need to know.
Only when the people see the bitter truth will change be possible.
Here’s how bad it is: The federal government in DC (and I don’t think I’m over stating the problem) is a “one stop shop” so that all the people you need to bribe are conveniently in one place. It’s that bad.
It’s that disgusting. It’s that shameful.
Trump is approaching this exactly right: use his bully pulpit to expose the corruption - let them bring shame on themselves, explain what’s happening directly to the people in plain terms.
Don’t attempt mass firings, purges or massacres - that behavior is to easy to easy for the MSM propaganda machine to cast as an overreaching, authoritarian POTUS. Then Trump is seen by the public as the threat.
Trump must continue to let himself be seen as under siege, fighting against tremendous odds - that’s not a bad thing.
For one thing it’s true and the people should know what he’s up against
I would urge Rudy to seek a Writ of Prohibition in the Supreme Court, against any use of the highly questionable fruits of the Mueller investigation in any Federal Court, citing the wholesale irregularities & bullying tactics, as against the very suspect basis claimed to justify what has been done, and focusing also on the gravity of the distraction from the extremely critical nature of what is on the President's plate this year, on both the foreign & domestic front.
(Even if the Court declined to issue the writ, proactively, the effort would still help demonstrate key points that need to be addressed, publicly.)
The balance, at this point is so one-sided in the President's favor, I think he might get the Writ, which would make the continued Mueller antics moot.
