The Demagogue vs. Rule of Law. Time to choose.
Rosenstein – Republican, appointed by Trump.
Sessions – Republican, appointed by Trump.
Wray – Republican, appointed by Trump.
Coats – Republican, appointed by Trump.
Mueller – Republican, appointed by Rosenstein.
All, somehow, favoring the Democrats.
Democracy dies down one road. I hope we choose the other...but, just based on the ability for Trump cultists to believe whatever he tells them, it does not look good.

I choose the rule of law.
The president has the right by law to fire any of these guys if they were involved ( your list is hyperbolic),
And that is what the constitution allows,
I also want anyone falsifying a FISA application sent to prison
. . . . unless it applies to Trump or the GOP.
You wouldn't know the rule of law on your best day.
If you did, you'd want Trump, his family, and most of his administration sent away for years.
Unless I have missed it, one is accused of "falsifying" a FISA warrant

I choose Rule of Law over a Dem-polticized FBI.

Who picked the head of the FBI, by the way?

"Dem-polticized FBI." That's the dumbest thing you have been fooled into believing.

That's why transparency is important.
Now more than ever.
Just like Obama weaponized the IRS, he weaponized the FBI and DOJ. Winter is coming to them.

Really, given that Orange himself greatly admired dirt bag Holder’s loyalty to Barry?
You really think that our current leader believes in civil liberties? Fool.
Sure, because the government is all about the rule of law. When the governing body believes they
are above the law, there is a problem. We are over a year into his presidency, and you still don't get it. The people spoke; they don't like the way the government has been managed.

63m voted for Hillary. 60m voted for Trump. The majority voted for Obama against McCain and Romney. Most believe Gore got more votes than Bush.
I think you missed that.

"The [FISA Court] application does not mention Steele was ultimately working on behalf of - and paid
by - the DNC and Clinton campaign."
I did not choose a demagogue. You did.
You choose demagogue. No surprise.

A lot of people are saying that the application said he worked for an anti Trump group.
Dunno if that is true, but we need to find out.
Aren't police anti drug dealers, anti gang violence, anti child pornography?
Are they precluded from drafting search warrants seeking evidence to uncover such criminal behavior?
Also anti Russian stooges/spies like Carter Page.
If this is the best they got, the Orange Don has some serious issues.
Have you read the FISA warrants in question?
Under Franks, evidence seized pursuant to a search warrant must be suppressed when the defendant shows by a preponderance of the evidence that (1) the affidavit in support of the warrant contains false statements or misleading omissions, (2) the false statements or omissions were made deliberately or with reckless disregard for the truth, and (3) probable cause would not have existed without the false statements and/or omissions.
Even assuming arguendo that #1 and #2 are met (tough threshold), #3 is often the toughest hurdle for a defendant seeking to suppress evidence obtained from a warrant.
So, without seeing the entire four corners of the FISA warrants related to Carter Page, it is hard to say whether they would pass muster.
My understanding is that the FBI and Schiff see it much differently than the insinuations made in the Nunes memo.
I didn't choose. I swear. I tried to keep my mind blank...
