Trump cannot rely on praetorian agencies like the FBI, the DoJ, the DNI and the CIA, which have gone rogue and are part of the swamp he promised to drain.

Which is why these agencies and bureau should not be given the power they have. They have virtually no accountability to the American people or even the President.

Trump was always a pro police state, big government guy; I hope now he is understanding that when government is big, it is unmanageable. Reducing the size and scope of government, even eliminating parts, is the direction we need to travel.

Precisely. Each side claims to be the victim of abuses of power when they aren't ruling, but once the tables turn it seems like they are in a race to ramp up the power of the state so that they can abuse it. So immensely frustrating.
