We are in so much trouble - Revanchist President

After complaining about Nancy Pelosi ripping up Trump's speech, Pence, on the 5th of February said:

“I just have a strong feeling that she's going to the the last speaker of the House to sit in that seat for a long time.”

Rudy Giuliani on the first of February tweeted:

“Folks...asking me are Biden, Schiff, Comey, Hillary, etc... going to get away with this. I told them to keep watching.”

Going After FBI, House Members and political opponents

In today's (Feb 6) East Wing Speech to Trump's supporters,

“We've been going thru this now for over 3 years. It was evil. It was corrupt. It was dirty cops. It was leakers and liars. In my opinion these are the crookedest, most dishonest and dirtyist people I've ever seen. With all these horrible dirty cops who took these dossiers and did bad things. They knew all about it. The FISA courts should be ashamed of themselves, tremendous corruption. Dirty Cops. Bad people. If this happened to President Obama, a lot of people would have been in jail for a long time already. Many years....If I didn't fire James Comey we would have never found this stuff. Because When I fired that sleaze-bag, all hell broke out. They were ratting on each other. They were running for the hills. Let's see what happens.”

When Trump trashed the FBI, “Barr [was] smiling and applauding.” That is a warning shot that purges are coming to the FBI, most likely starting with Christopher Wray. Trump already is using the FBI, apparently without Wray's knowledge running covert operations like “Iron Fist” Apparently they are going after “Black Identity Extremists” and infiltrating suspect groups with undercover agents. Trump pledged revenge against the FBI. When he says “let's see what happens” he is promising to prosecute FBI officials and persecute former FBI officals. And when Barr smiles and applauds, he's volunteering to do it.

Plotting Revenge

Trump and his surrogates and cronies are plotting revenge. Trump is promising that they will now use the machinery of Government to prosecute and persecute Pelosi, Schiff, Comey, Hillary, Romney, and pretty much anyone who crossed Donald John Trump. And Barr will do at least some of the work.

I said a while back that Barr Was Trump's Chaika. Well, Putin just dumped Yuri Chaika from his administration. But I'm sure someone else will step up. Meanwhile we have another round of abuse of power and obstruction getting started even before the Senate rendered a verdict.

Trump Wants his J. Edgar Hoover

To be fair, Woodrow Wilson used the DOJ to go after personal enemies, including Suffragettes demonstrating for Women to have Voting rights. Warren Harding had a corrupt AG who resisted investigation into his own criminal behavior. We've gone through rocky times before. Will we survive? I don't know.

Speaking of Wilson and his successors, John Edgar Hoover, who founded the FBI, knew to be personally loyal (or appear to be) to his President. Trump doesn't want to eliminate corruption in the FBI. He wants a J. Edgar Hoover, who will prosecute his enemies and protect him. In Russia the Prosecutor General, (formerly Chaika) has that role. In the USA the jobs were separated between the AG and FBI Director. Trump Wants his Hoover.
