No one this president and those Republicans would choose to head the FBI

Would make me feel as if they would actually fairly investigate This president. The person, no matter who they choose, will have only one directive to save this President. How can we trust anyone now?

Breed distrust amongst all.
Fertilize the confusion with Psyco-babble.
Set agency's against each other.
Obfuscate everything.
Blame others for anything you don't agree with then fire them.
Misdirect.

It's all according to plan. Populist leaders have been doing the same thing worldwide.
We always used to read the stories and shake our heads wondering just how they could let it happen. Never, never we thought...that it could happen here.

In today's times trust in any part of the federal government may just be an illusion.

Resist, do not normalize anything he does. It's not normal.
