      2. Lots of people, particular in GOP but also broader establishment are hoping that Mattis will restrain Trump. That might be foolish hope.

      4. Hopes people are placing in Mattis & intelligence community to check Trump has to be seen as part of larger crisis of USA democracy

      5. It shouldn't be the job of the Secretary of Defence or the Deep State to check president. That's what Congress/Senate & Courts are for.

          it shouldn't be the job of anyone to "check" the guy who got 3M fewer votes. He should be a private citizen!

          6. Everyone knows GOP Congress/Senate too chickenshit to challenge Trump. Hence inflated hopes on Mattis & Deep State.

          True, but since conflict between Trump and Deep State seems inevitable, I'll be on sidelines with popcorn, rooting for injuries.
