The Democrats seem to forget that Trump is in charge of the NSA, DIA, etc. If they want to go on a fishing expedition, he can go on a fishing expedition as well and he does have the goods on the Dims.
Good point.
If he decides to go full-throttle, to be the outsider, non-establishment guy he really is, it will be a bloodbath. He could say "screw it" to a 2020 run and decide to start using, really using, all the power at his command.
We all know the left has been crying wolf about anything and everything - virtually all imagined. But what if President Trump stepped aside, even a little bit, and let ruthless businessman Trump take the reins for a bit? What if he actually did start using Federal agencies and his own personal contacts and power? Not just to get things done that he knows we (the US) need to get done, but as payback for some of the excrement he's had to put up with. What if he pushed back by weaponizing various agencies the way Clinton/obama did?
Right now President Trump is trying to drain the swamp in a reasonably orderly fashion. At some point though, he may say eff-it and dynamite the dam - it'll be chaos downstream, and the whole smelly mess will spill out for everyone to see.
