Three and a half years into President Trump\u2019s first term as President it would be fair to say that the United States government is still controlled to a great extent by a managerial class that works constantly and relatively unimpeded against the interests of the President and the Americans that voted him into office.<\/p>\n
In order for his second term to have any lasting effect on the direction that this nation is headed President Trump will have to purge the Deep State from the executive branch agencies they control.\u00a0 Can such a thing be done?\u00a0 Has it ever been done before?\u00a0 The answer to the second question is yes.\u00a0 In the olden times a change of administration was the occasion for a massive purge of patronage office holders.\u00a0 And to an extent that is still the case.\u00a0 The agency heads are all political appointees that come and go as the party in charge is changed.\u00a0 But the bureaucracy that serves below these appointees are permanent employees of the federal government and have job security that is almost bullet proof.\u00a0 So as far as purging the Deep State the answer is at best a qualified \u201csort of.\u201d\u00a0 The rank and file drones working in the State Department, the Justice Department and the rest of the agencies are natural born progressives.\u00a0 They live to interfere in the lives of ordinary people and relish the opportunity to exert their bureaucratic power on useful people that fall under their purview.\u00a0 Even if many of the worst laws are eliminated these people will still make life hell for whomever they meet.\u00a0 So, let\u2019s assume this to be the case.<\/p>\n
Be that as it may, the Deep State can be weakened substantially and the effort to do it should be the focus of the President\u2019s efforts in a second term.\u00a0 First and foremost, the Justice Department and specifically the FBI needs to be emptied of the viper\u2019s nest that currently run it.\u00a0 And if Barr won\u2019t do it then he has to go first.\u00a0 Why is Christopher Wray still the Director of the FBI?\u00a0 He has obstructed the investigations into the Russia hoax and he has done next to nothing to stop the current insurrection that has gripped cities across the country.\u00a0 Bill Barr has publicly praised Wray.\u00a0 He acts as if the agency is working correctly.\u00a0 That is simply not true.<\/p>\n
Barr has talked about getting to the bottom of the hoax but he and Durham haven\u2019t achieved anything after more than a year.\u00a0 This more than anything makes it clear that he is afraid to destroy the status quo.\u00a0 All of this must be crystal clear to President Trump.\u00a0 So, what is his plan?<\/p>\n
What seems to me to be the only way forward is to put someone in charge of the Justice Department who knows how it works but isn\u2019t beholden to the network inside of it.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure I know who could be that man but maybe Rudy Giuliani is right for that job.\u00a0 He seems to be a true ally of the President and he was a federal prosecutor back before he was Mayor of New York.\u00a0 And I think he would relish the chance to clean out the Justice Department.\u00a0 But if Rudy isn\u2019t the right guy maybe he knows who is.\u00a0 Either way it\u2019s critical that the second term start off by cleaning house of all the remaining top and mid-level cabalists in all the important department that are still obstructing and undermining the President\u2019s efforts to fix the federal government.<\/p>\n
So, to go back to the title of the post, can the President eliminate the Deep State, the answer is I don\u2019t know.\u00a0 But the rest of the answer is that he\u2019s going to have to do it if he is going to survive.\u00a0 These people are his mortal enemies and they\u2019ll have to be destroyed for his sake.\u00a0 And if there is going to be anything that fixes this country short of rebellion then getting rid of the Deep State is job one.\u00a0 Let\u2019s pray he succeeds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
