Until last week, the swamp had an excuse – there was no official portrait and nobody was going to go to the trouble of finding one.
At most entrances to US embassies today still it appears as if the 2016 election never happened as Obama holdovers still hold positions of extraordinary power. “The swamp is alive and well,” Christian Adams of PJ Media noted.
Adams says Soros money and international leftists are even conspiring abroad to undermine one of America’s strongest allies, Guatemala.
The problem is not only confined to the State Department or the National Security Council, according to Adams, but also visible in the Department of Justice. There too, “ideological radicals and Obama holdovers remain in positions of power, pretending that President Trump’s election never occurred” he says.
One Richard Pilger has during his eight years under Obama, never found a single case of voter fraud, but he is still the head of the Election Crimes Branch at the Criminal Division.
Pilger is the same DOJ lawyer who has refused to answer questions from the House Oversight Committee. When Democrat nominees for Congress like Wendy Rosen were committing federal voter fraud, Pilger did nothing since Rosen voted twice in 2012 to re-elect President Obama.
The Heritage Foundation has compiled a voter fraud database of all the violations of federal election laws, and while they were happening, Pilger did nothing.
Insiders say Trump has on multiple occasions directly demanded that various swamp officials be removed “by the end of the week,” only to be told it would happen, but ultimately it does not.
The swamp officials control the day-to-day information flow to the president, management oversight of large individual sections, such as voting, and therefore they remain in positions of considerable power.
“All throughout the government, the swamp is still in charge,” says Adams. “It’s like the 2016 election never happened. Only the president and his closest advisors seem to have the will to do anything about it.”
