We are about to see Democracy get one hell of a black eye. Appears we have a handful of Corporate Billionaire's running interference for the Trump Crime Syndicate. And we are seeing the attempt to create a permanent Republican(fascist)majority via the legal process .

For those who did not vote or voted for the so called other choices,you are all in the same boat now and we are about to hit rocks.

Rachel Maddow shows how the Nunes memo was a ploy to give Donald Trump an excuse to fire Rod Rosenstein who oversees Mueller's Trump Russia investigation. With Rachel Brand out, Rosenstein's next-in-line position is empty.

"She saw the hordes coming and left, leaving the drawbridge down."

Brand chose to save herself by taking a well-paying Wal Mart staff counsel gig. In the process, she left the drawbridge down for Trump's hordes to ransack DOJ. So much for country first.

Could they have been part of a plan to get her out of the way ? If there was a plan to get her out, I think the unexplained forced resignation of Dana Boente as DA for the Eastern District of Virginia is part of it too.

Looks like they bought her, but it can't be for her experience.

Brand's background is in criminal law. Why would Wal-Mart want someone like that doing their corporate staff counsel transactional work? It is a completely different area of law.

That's what has me thinking there's something else to this....and the Boente issue on top of that.
