I'm not a conspiracy theorist but what the president is doing is chilling. Firing the independent-minded head of our National Intelligence services so one of his minions can replace him, deprives the American people of an important advocate on our behalf. nytimes.com/2019/07/28/us/po…

And it isn't just that; there's a pattern. It's what he did by appointing William Barr AG. Or Andrew Wheeler as head of EPA.These aren't solid conservative voices, not at all.They're people put in positions of authority in agencies where their function is basically to destroy it

Something more sinister is occurring here than the political establishment knows how to deal with. It's not that they don't sense something terribly wrong; I think they do. But they thought Mueller could get him and it didn't work. We are dealing here with a coup from within.

Sinister, yes. That’s exactly the word for it. If this administration continues down this path the threads of our democracy will unravel. It feels like a terrible dream I can’t wake up from.
