Justice Department struggles as thousands exit – and few are replaced - The Washington Post
"I was astonished. I have never seen anything like that.

This new mind-set matches Mr. Trump's declaration that he is waging a "final battle" against demonic "enemies" populating a "deep state" within the government that is bent on destroying America...

Servants of the Damned review: Trump and the giant law firm he actually paid
"The president's rhetoric," he said, "has put my party in the position of a firefighter who deliberately sets fires to look like a hero putting them out."
