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.

That's all well and good but a lot of wishful thinking. Even if you play it by the book Dems are going to be crying foul if they don't get the result they want...and be calling names, protesting, shouting down conservatives and harrassing them in restaurants etc...so by all means put someone in there who will be your "wingman" like Eric Holder proudly proclaimed...and let the Dems eat it.
