with all due respect, I've been hearing this for a while, there is never ending excuse when Trump starts clean the house. There is always the next milestone, next year, post mid-terms, next term. ... I am not holding my breath.
The important point here is that this dude is not Trump. He is a US Attorney who appears to do his job. The change will not come from the top, it will come from the bottom, people like him doing their duty. We don't need to wait for Trump.
If it wasn't for Trump putting in USA's that are willing to go after this level of criminality, they wouldn't be doing it.
This was approved at D.C. before it went forward, I'd bet a month's pay. At least tacit approval if not formal. I think I used the right word there. Sometimes, trying to sound smart backfires.
