No they're not. Average guy on the street doesn't know who Rosenstein is. Of course something is terribly wrong, and it's not going to change until the final collapse. Everyone hates congress and reelects their congresscritter. Congress is the only body that can fix the mess but they are mostly making it worse by expanding the bureaucracy.
Lest you forget, Trump was the one who promised (countless times) to drain the Swamp. We’re just holding him to his own words.
I know but there are more important promises that he is focussed on like securing the border, ensuring fair trade, cutting regulations and taxes, etc. He has kept those and I expect he will do his best to keep all of his promises in due time. But I want to give him time, most of all because Trump respects the Constitution and law. Given a choice of many years of investigation or a frog march (that will end with acquittal of some big name) he will choose the investigation.
In short if you expect one man to clean up the mess that Congress has created then you will end up with Pinochet.
Its worse than a mess. Far worse. We are effectively living in, and subsidizing, a police state being run by an unaccountable AND POLITICIZED fourth branch of government. None of these people are elected, yet they are exercising enormous power, and abusing it. Every American should be deeply concerned about this, and what its leading to in terms of losing our liberties.
Congress is unwilling to clean up anything. And they are a separate branch of government. They are a bunch of feckless opportunists who are only out for themselves. So, it falls on the president to clean up his own house to the extent that he can. It is imperative that he protect us against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC. That’s his job.
Make no mistake about it. Rogue agencies and the corrupt bureaucrats who are running them are becoming an existential threat to our Republic. Remember, they almost took it all away from us. This is no time for politics; its time for action.
I once thought that a weaponized IRS targeting conservative groups was a frightening development. But little did I know that it would pale in comparison to the defiance, arrogance, corruption, and police state tactics of some of our most trusted agencies.
I think we both share similar concerns but we differ on how to deal with it. I believe that corrosive problems tend to get worse if not dealt with. Trump has plenty of justification by now for cleaning house and declassifying documents. The American people trust him and would welcome decisive action on his part to remove the rat’s nest and restore integrity back into our most trusted agencies.
