In many cases, this is accomplished by firing senior law enforcement officials en masse. Our norms make that difficult. So instead, Trump and his allies are working overtime to set the pretext for targeted firings, demotions, and forced retirements to accomplish the same thing.

Absolutely agree. The problem with this president is that he has know concern whatsoever with the rule of law. His NPD has him believing that he's better than us mere mortals and thus the law doesn't apply to him.
