The Truth is just the opposite of what the O. P. represents.
It has been obvious from before Trump ever dreamed of the Presidency....that the first road to a Dictatorship in this great country was to corrupt the Justice Department.
Nixon just merely tried, in desperation, and he was run out of town on a rail.
But Obama accomplished it in his first few months in office merely by appointing Eric Holder as Attorney General. Armed with the Race Card for any who questioned, and with the frightful fact of a re-election---the Obama Deep State was created and must now be dismantled. It is a cancer to this country.
Trump should get on with what he promised---Drain the Swamp...and if Jeff Sessions doesn't have the stones to help, then he should step aside so Trump can find someone who will.
Obama took an oath to enforce the Law, and then, for eight long years, ignored or subverted every law he didn't like---foremost among them being the Immigration Laws. His Executive Orders were consistently found to be Unconstitutional, but he got away with everything because Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch had his back...and the backs all of his Deep State Subversives---like Lois Lerner, and the perjurer James Clapper, and of course, his hand picked successor---the Slave of Satan, Hillary Clinton.
Trump now has to clean up the mess, and the Democrat/Bolsheviks can rely on their Party-Owned New York Media to see that he cleans it up according to the Rule of Law which was ignored for entirety of the last Administration.
I think it’s hysterically funny that conservatives here think that Trump has shown any respect or interest in the rule of law when in fact the opposite has been true.
He encouraged police officers to rough up suspects at the time of arrest. He has routinely maligned the judiciary, to the point where Neil Gorusch said his attitude isn’t helpful.
He dismissed the White House ethics commissioner, uttering ignoring the blind trust requirements for his business holdings, and completely disregarding the emoluments clause in the Constitution. He’s still pissed that Jeff Sessins recused himself from the Russia investigation.
But what the OP has wrong is that it isn’t the judiciary that a despot goes after first - it’s the free press. The judiciary is second.
Trump has relentlessly attacked the media since prior to the Inauguration. He becomes upset that his lies are revealed and that the media criticizes him. He calls it “unfair”. He doesn’t know the meaning of the word “unfair”.
That Trumptards believe Trump is honest and not in any way a despot, shows how gullible these people truly are.
