How dense are you?
You asked this question before and I answered it.

Trump clearly wants Hillary investigated for multiple crimes, and the Obama administration for the surveillance and intelligence unmaskings. Trump appointed attorney general Sessions, and Sessions for reasons of avoiding any appearance of conflict of interest, recused himself. To Trump's exasperation. Why Sessions didn't appoint someone beyond question to investigate is a mystery to me, and to many, and Trump shares our exasperation.
Comey is a deep state bureaucrat, with ulterior motives.
Rod Rosenstein is a deep state bureaucrat with ulterior motives. Rosenstein instructed Trump IN WRITING to fire Comey to restore public trust in the FBI, and then appointed Meuller (a 30-year close friend of Comey) to do a special investigation of Trump for doing so! And Meuller hired 8 large donors to the Obama/Hillary/DNC campaigns, an obvious conflict of interest. But conflict of interest obviously isn't held to the same standard among Democrats.

Trump could fire Meuller, but that would create another scandal for Trump. I wish both Democrats and Republicans would publicly condemn the clear conflict of interest in Meuller's investigation, and call for its dissolution , and replacement with a truly objective and conflict-of-interest- free special commission to replace it.

But all this is an obstruction to the type of investigation most of us (including Trump) would like to see.

Tammy Bruce a few days ago said what I have thought since the 2016 campaign, that Trump, despite winning on the Republican ticket, is essentially an independent, fighting the establishment in both parties to create necessary reforms in the federal government. Reforms that are a threat to the lobbyist system that infests and enriches the elites in both parties.

I've been aware of this since the push toward globalism, export of jobs( i.e."offshoring"), the passing of NAFTA and GATT, the surge in national debt that began in the G H W Bush years, and further exploded under W Bush and Obama, the third-worlding of the U.S. since about 1990 through immigration (both legal and illegal), and the complete collapse of immigration enforcement under W. Bush and Obama. It seem obvious to me that the establishment in both parties are bought out by globalist interest and are behind the massive explosion in debt that globalists want, and as they have done with third-world nations, will eventually collapse the U.S. dollar and use that to reign us into the global order, probably first with a North American union and a North American dollar.
Trump is a nationalist who is working to reverse this. Despite the opposition within the establishment in his own party.
