#2 Welcome to the Deep State, the democracy-sapping embeds at the heart of our democracy who have not taken the expulsion of the Permanent Bipartisan Fusion Party lightly.

The 'embeds' exercised full span control of our drone zapping, Affirmative Action Kenyan master and would have likely enjoyed the same freedom with HRC. Who else profits from decades of conflict in the ME? Starting with a 100 hour war in 1990, and who was President then? Not that he knew what was actually going on mind you.

These puppet masters managed to successfully extinguish the Petraeus thirst for power with the oldest of Samsonian ploys. Make no mistake, they are the king makers.

#3 Then we really have no use for them when they become just as much a danger to the republic as any external enemy. Disassemble, extreme vetting in reorganization.

#4 The previous administration ran a wire tap on the Russian Ambassador and picked up an American (Mike Flynn) having a conversation with the Ambassador. As I understand it, by law the identity of the American should have been shielded--It was not and was leaked. To spy on American citizens requires a FISA court order and sign off from someone high up in the previous administration since most of this was set in motion in a post election, pre-inauguration time frame. The nature of those conversations has not been released to the public so we don't know what was discussed. At the time Flynn was having conversations with many representatives of countries which seems appropriate for an incoming National Security Advisor. When he said, he didn't recall the exact nature of all the conversations, it not too difficult to believe. The Donks seem hell bent on lynching Flynn under the Logan Act. It's kind of like "Let's have a fair trial and then hang him."

Schumer and other Donks have been calling for independent investigations. He claims that Jeff Sessions should not be allowed to handle such an investigation. (Not much was heard or was there much clamor for such an investigation when WJC met with Lynch on a tarmac in Phoenix).

It is a bad precedent to throw Flynn under the bus. It is a bad example to others who have signed on to the Trump administration. In Washington, loyalty is a valuable commodity and it should be preserved. Dumping Flynn is red meat for the left and they will continue their witch hunt until they take down Trump. There are too many hold-overs in the bureaucracy who are sympathetic and loyal to previous Democrat administrations. Trump needs to pair down many of these agencies one way or another (personnel reductions or budget cutting or both) who are undermining him and sabotaging him.
