Trump's henchmen always end up in the shark tank
Opinion by Max Boot
Forget all of the insider accounts. To truly understand the Trump administration, you have to study the collected works of James Bond, 007.
In the Bond films, there is no more dangerous job than being the villain’s henchman. If Bond doesn’t kill you, your own boss likely will. SPECTRE doesn’t tolerate failure, and those who don’t succeed are likely to be dismissed not just from their jobs but from their lives. You would think that Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Dr. No, Le Chiffre and all the rest would show some consideration to the loyal henchmen who labor so hard to carry out their plots for world domination. But no. One mistake and you’re fed to the sharks or piranhas — or simply electrocuted in your chair.
That is pretty much the fate of Trump’s most nefarious henchmen — minus the killer fish, of course. They’re still alive, but they’re dead to Trump. It doesn’t matter how many norms or even laws you violated on the president’s behalf. If you do one thing wrong (i.e., right) by failing to carry out his latest and most dastardly plot, you are likely to wind up in the shark tank — metaphorically, of course.
Attorney General William P. Barr was dismissed more gently than most. Trump tweeted on Monday that Barr had “done an outstanding job” but was “leaving just before Christmas to spend the holidays with his family.” But otherwise Trump has made little attempt to hide his fury at his attorney general. He was irate before the election that Barr refused to indict Democrats such as Joe Biden for unspecified crimes. It was, Trump said, “a very sad, sad situation.” Barr further saddened his boss by admitting that there was no evidence of widespread election fraud. Sadness turned to “sayonara” with the news that Barr had properly refused to disclose investigations of Hunter Biden’s financial dealings. “Bill Barr should have stepped up,” Trump fumed.

I'd like to see him tossed in a tank, cameras rolling. Wouldn't be long before a bubbly brown cloud appeared in the waters around him, with dorsal fins circling... 
Then when they're done with Donny, Mitch can go in next...
