No I got the point and I don't want that either. With the impeachment of Clinton, the Dem's effectively bastardized the office of President in the first place. And with the people's choice in the person of MR Trump, came the flood of wrongful slander on the parts of Democrats which held that Trump's presidency is illegitimate. Hello, is anybody awake out there? Republicans should have knocked all that traitorous rhetoric down from the get-go, but they didn't want to soil themselves... I guess. If Republicans had taken a honorable stand and spoken up, it wouldn't have to be only one man all the time, the president, having to make the responses. In any event, in said Republican reluctance to stand up for the Republic, history will show that they were as guilty in the perpetuation of the fall of this land as the Democrats. And afterward, I guarantee the very guy that will express the most shock and self-righteous indignation will be none other than the impossibly naïve Paul Ryan.

Respectfully, the problems you speak of are all the result of the establishment's rejection of his election to office. That going wisdom, as absurd as it is, fuels all of the attacks coming his way. From those who openly say they dislike him, to the deepstate comprised of agency heads and staff, to the media, to the afore mentioned political establishment, to those who like him but fear the resultant repercussions from their peers, everybody's hands are dirty here. That's my humble opinion. Nobody seems to be respecting the office and frankly, the rumors you and I hear in which the accounts of any particular spat are brought forth, are not likely to be all that straightforward because of the bent to frame the President as negatively as possible. The people chose MR Trump. Anything short of respect across the board from the Washington establishment to that end is subversive to good this country. And at the minimum a departure from a government of and by the people. America will rue the day, and these I believe are just the beginnings of what is to come.

By the time people who have no claim to the riches of this land are done with their pillaging and usurpings of the law, and the reality of what such actions will ultimately mean to this land is realized, it will already be far too late to respond. To wit, I hear that hundreds of Democrat lawyers have descended on Florida to steal the Senate seat Rick Scott has just won, and the Governor's House that Ron DeSantis won. I don't know about you but at this point I don't have an overabundance of surety that our system of elections is very foolproof. Supposedly, thousands of paper ballots are flying into the board of elections authority in Florida from parts rather unknown and long after the deadline for accepting those ballots has passed. Let's just keep voting until we get the result we want, whadda ya say? And where have Republicans been on the issue of voter fraud? Scared to death in a corner.

I understand MR Trump's consternation, and if he understands the true nature of the opposition he faces and I think he does, that is part of what keeps him from succumbing to all the contempt coming his way. In that light, though the immediate state of affairs around here is cloudy, I pray that he will persevere in his efforts to serve this land.

We agree that Democrats and RINOs are existential threats to this country, but Democrats and the GOP establishment have nothing to do with nasty campaign that Trump ran against his conservative Republican rivals, nor do they have anything to do with how he has publicly attacked loyal Trump supporters like Jeff Sessions after he took office.

As I said, I think Sessions was a poor pick for Attorney General but he made a huge sacrifice when he gave up his safe Senate seat to serve as Trump's Attorney General. Sessions is an honorable man and an experienced lawyer. He made what he thought was his only ethical choice when he recused himself from the Russian investigation. Trump treated Session's decision like a personal betrayal, which was not remotely true - and Sessions is not the only Trump loyalist who has been treated shabbily by President Trump.

Trump needs to appoint a qualified, conservative constitutional lawyer to head the Justice Department, and then let him or her do his or her job. I know that there is nothing to the allegation that Trump's campaign colluded with the Russians to rig the election, but he needs to appoint somebody who is not seen as a political ally. In other words, he need to appoint somebody who can effectively communicate and educate the public about the political hatchet job that Democrats have perpetrated against Trump but not somebody who has been overtly political in the past.

The worse thing that Trump could possibly do would be to nominate a person as the next AG who is or appears to be a political hack. He needs a nominee who will refuse to take a position on the Mueller investigation, either in public, or during Senate confirmation hearings, just as a good Supreme Court nominee would do.

The AG nominee should pledge to study the facts after he or she assumes the job and make decisions at that time - and that should be all that Trump asks him or her to do prior to the confirmation hearings. Whoever is nominated will be asked repeatedly during the hearings whether Trump asked them to fire Mueller and/or Rosenstein and whether they had already agreed to do so if confirmed.

IMO, Democrats politicized the Justice Department and the Department of State under Bill Clinton and Barack Obama to an extent never before seen in U.S. history. In the next two years, Trump needs to make the Justice Department and the State Department two focal points of a genuine effort to drain the swamp. Whatever it takes to rid those two extremely important cornerstones of democracy of radical left wing Obamunists needs to be done in a methodical, professional way.
