Sebastian Gorka: The Counter-Coup Has Begun

Writing at American Greatness today, Sebastian Gorka argues that, in the wake of the Impeachment Theater, President Trump has moved decisively to take control of personnel within his administration. His primary focus, naturally enough, is on the NSC. Whether Trump previously believed he could work with Establishment Deep State figures, or whether he was constrained by the Senate confirmation process to accept such figures in sensitive positions (or a combination of the two possibilities) is difficult to determine. What does seem clear is that Trump appears to be acting on the conviction that personnel is policy. I take note of this article because I don't believe Gorka's pro-Trump credentials have ever been questioned and undoubtedly knows many of the persons involved. 

Toward the end of the article Gorka offers some observations regarding the investigations into the Russia Hoax which are worth considering. He doesn't add anything that hasn't been discussed here, but his previous closeness to Trump lends credibility to these observations:

While many in the MAGA community are still smarting from the Barr Department of Justice’s recent decision not to prosecute corrupt FBI agent Andrew McCabe, they miss the point. The charges in question were related exclusively to his lying to officials over his leaking details to the media about the Clinton email investigation. They have nothing to do with the current, and far, far larger investigation into the origins of the Russia hoax by U.S. Attorney John Durham. No one has been exonerated or had charges dropped against him when it comes to the greatest political conspiracy in modern American history, the use of the FBI, NSA, and CIA to spy on a presidential campaign and White House, Operation Crossfire Hurricane. No one, not McCabe, not Comey, not John Brennan, not Jim Clapper, not Rice, and not Barack Obama. 

Lastly and most promising to those who believe in Lady Justice truly being blindfolded, nothing—and I mean nothing—has leaked from the Durham investigation. In fact the only time that Barr’s handpicked team has said anything on record in relation to its work is to correct the sweeping claims made by the Justice Department’s Inspector General Michael Horowitz that there was no detectable political bias at the highest levels of Obama’s Department of Justice and that the rules for predication were followed. 

Attorney General William Barr may not like the president tweeting about cases that are sub judice, but he is clearly a man on a mission to clean to Augean Stables that are the post-Obama Department of Justice, and in the most under-reported story of the last four years, his man Durham’s mandate was changed from heading an administration review, to heading a criminal investigation, which means he has found evidence of felonious acts and can (is?) impaneling secret grand juries.
