        notice that virtually no high level Trump appointee has resigned out of principle. I guess that is why he appoints people who have no principles.

        Also he's more comfortable around spineless criminals because that's what he's used to working with from his days running an inherited real estate empire into the dirt. The only ones who stand up to him are the Mafia (American and Russian) because they own the paper on him.

        That’s exactly and precisely right, and to further his nest in the White House he’s not having the FBI building tour down, as a hotel would take its place across from Trump Tower, just breaking the law right in our faces, Senate and Congress COMPLICIT

        As did Elliot Richardson, the AG, leaving it to Robert Bork, Solicitor General, to carry out Nixon’s criminal attempt to cover up the flagrant obstruction of justice he perpetrated. And with Reagan’s “in your face Democrats” nomination of Bork to the Supreme Court it all began!

        My mother was William Ruckelshaus’ nanny. I feel she’s somewhat responsible

        My gymnastics coach was Justin Trudeau’s nanny. I think that may be why he is a flexible forward thinking PM.

        After 11/6, there will be many more thoughts of this. @realDonaldTrump doesn't think of the repercussions, much less the history. Only himself. He is the most dangerous Nixon There are no heroes here now like a @JohnWDean Michael, read your book in 2 days. A MUST read.
