Very strange move since Trump had earlier assured Preet he wanted him to remain. And in New York, both Democratic and Republican leaders are strongly for him. Trump/Sessions may have just made Bharara Preet's political career a strong probability.

This dismissal is rather bizarre, when Preet's track record has been a recommendation, for maintaining him.
 
Re: Trump Staff Picks

Preet Bharara's biggest cases actually deal with investigating Democrats.

You can be pro-business, but anti-corruption.

But the thinking is that once Trump realized that he wasn't going to be going to bed with Chuck Schummer....Pareet was no longer an asset to him.

Schummer is no friend of Republicans, so it is hard to trust his allies. To democrats, profits and corruption are about the same thing equally bad.

Agent Orange Dolt45 merely failed to DEFINE what the "swamp" was, when he was campaigning.

His "swamp" referred to the people who were there to regulate, make politicians accountable for corruption and neglect, and those who were in position to block any of his visions of absolute Repugnantan hubris.

Anybody who believed that his "swamp" was actually the ocean of corrupt people, and that's what he wanted to drain, got deceived and pwned...and the lives of these voters are among those lives that are now in the crosshairs of the hoped complete destruction of healthcare.

Forget health care, Trump's policies are highly likely to tip the country, and then much of the world, into a depression -- not just a recession, but a real depression. All the ingredients are there: concentration of wealth in the hands of a tiny minority, concentration of income in the same, high corporate debt, high personal debt, low personal income for most. We're in the worst economic situation since the 1920s just before things broke, a very fragile situation that could tip with the slightest impetus.

And with the enormous debt we've piled up mostly thanks to neocons insisting that debt doesn't matter, the government will be in no position to try to change things -- not that the Democrats show any sign of having the guts to try anyway.

If Trump was a Manchurian candidate intended to put the country into the power of China, he wouldn't have to much of anything differently than he is.
 
Technically it was probably to put the country in the power of Putin, but he's too corrupt and incompetent to even manage Russia.
China glides right in due to the mutually assured destruction of the greedy.

So TrumpCo. is still really far behind in building out the Executive Administration. This isn't going to help them get their policies enacted.

Originally, it appeared that he was unaware that he had to hire 4,000 employees to replace those who resigned on inauguration day.

The latest evidence is that the dearth of candidates appointed positions may be an effort to leaves those positions unfilled for the long term. This fits in with the way that Trump managed his own company and his campaign. There may be other motivations since certain agencies like State, NSC, EPA, HUD, seem to be most affected.

Exactly. He plans to increase freedom and decrease regulation. Cripple the fanatical, authoritarian agencies by leaving mangement positions unfiled and cut their budgets. Drain the swamp. Unelected agencies with dictatorial power have no place in a democracy.

No. The agencies only exercise power vested in the president by the Constitution, Art II. Sec 1, first sentence. As subordinates, dischargeable at will, they are not a check to his power. But it is silly to believe that a president reducing authoritarian regulation is looking for excess power.

Trump isn't looking. He truly believes that he already has it. He's proved that a number of times already.
 
Re: Trump Staff Picks

^ Not surprised.

One after the other, Flynn, Manafort, Stone and the rest of Team Putin will be discarded and fed to the machine in order to try to keep the line from being drawn back to Trump himself.

But eventually, one of them will rat him out.

Has Michael Flynn been thrown under a bus?

Well, there have been allegations for a while that Trump was personal friends with the publisher of The National Enquirer. There were similar allegations that Trump, a man known for leaking pro-Trump stories to the press, leaked stories to the National Enquirer since he feels that his "base" are National Enquirer readers.

The timing is curious since there were stories that came out yesterday that Flynn was not only a paid lobbyist for the government of Turkey while he was working on the campaign, he was also colluding with the Turkish government to kidnap of a Turkish cleric who lives in the US. The cleric, Fethullah Gülen, is blamed by Turkey for the attempted coup last year, and the US has told Turkey that it would only extradite Gülen if Turkey produced hard evidence that linked Gülen to the coup. Turkey has not produced that evidence.

In effect, Flynn was colluding with the government of Turkey to plan the kidnapping of a US green card holder (and probable CIA informant) while Flynn was being paid about $500,000 to be a paid lobbying for Turkey. The Trump was informed that Flynn was lobbying for Turkey last year after the election, however Flynn never filed the paperwork required for lobbyists until this year. And stories had come out last year that Turkey was "cheering the election of Trump".

Why did this National Enquirer story come out this week? Well, Trump probably leaked the story himself. It's a classic disinformation tactic and another example of Trump paying the "nothing to see here" game.
