Summary of Trump administration so far

The Trump administration has some serious people doing extraordinarily important work.  The CIA team are doing something that few will ever fathom, and when the details surface they will hopefully get praise.

The State Dept team, obviously working closely with the CIA team, are likewise doing exceptional groundwork.

The DNI group (domestic IC) and DHS team are also laying the groundwork for major changes and confronting decades of institutional wrongdoing.  Praise and appreciation is well warranted.

The econ team is first-in-class, and the emissaries are working the Economic Security and National Security dynamic.  These enmesh with other operations and DJT/Lutnick are brilliantly coordinating a smooth outflow of positive global influence.

However, don’t expect the DOJ/FBI silos to be anything except a hot mess.  They have all the support needed, but the silo heads have no idea how to get their “arms around” the problems.  The DOJ/FBI reform agenda is going nowhere.

Celebrate all the success in the areas where serious people are operating strategically.  But if you were looking for DOJ/FBI structural silo changes, that ain’t happening.  Sorry, wrong leadership choice there.
