Swamp fighting back against Trump

-

Drain the swamp. Well, the swamp is fighting back against the president who was elected to drain the swamp.

What did we expect other than a battle royale?

The corruption in Washington is so evident that the stench is polluting the whole USA. Wake up, Congress — you are the problem, not the solution.

The previous administra­tion is getting a free pass and the current administra­tion is getting the hook.

Over what? Something that most Americans can care less about, as there is no apparent “smoking gun.” Only lots of back stabbing charges (most unfounded) and leaked confidenti­al classified informatio­n.

What president could function without confidenti­ality? Especially applicable to internatio­nal activities. By hiding their sources, the press and the news media are party to all that troubles Washington.

What we do care about is security, more good-paying jobs, control of immigratio­n, affordable open health care, and removal of illegal drugs.

It’s time for the administra­tion to stand up, find the leakers, and lay the hammer on their toes.

Clean house if you must, as there are too many that feel untouchabl­e.

And, all of Washington personnel must work together to meet our needs or: “Hit the road Jack or Jill, and don’t you come back!”
