Has President Trump suckered Democrats and the Deep State into a trap that will enable a radical downsizing of the federal bureaucracy? In only 5 more days of the already-“longest government shutdown in history” (25 days and counting, as of today), a heretofore obscure threshold will be reached, enabling permanent layoffs of bureaucrats furloughed 30 days or more. Don’t believe me that federal bureaucrats can be laid off? Well, in bureaucratese, a layoff is called a RIF – a Reduction in Force, and of course, it comes with a slew of civil service protections. But, if the guidelines are followed, bureaucrats can be laid off -- as in no more job. It is all explained by Michael Roberts here (updated after the beginning of the partial shutdown): A reduction in force is a thoughtful and systematic elimination of positions. For all practical purposes, a government RIF is the same thing as a layoff. (snip) Organizations must stick to predetermined criteria when sorting out what happens to each employee. They must communicate with employees how and why decisions are made. (snip) In deciding who stays and who goes, federal agencies must take four factors into account: Read more: www.americanthinker.com/b..._shutdown_trap.html#ixzz5 cgcTPVda

Good question. Will this be completed like " LOCK HER UP, LOCK HER UP, LOCK HER UP ? "

President Donald Trump wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute Hillary Clinton and former FBI Director James Comey last spring, the New York Times reported Tuesday. White House chief counsel Don McGahn reportedly talked him out of it, telling Trump he had no authority to order prosecutions and that if he tried to investigate his political enemies, it could lead to his impeachment. The Times said Trump still privately talks about prosecuting Clinton and Comey, and has suggested a second special counsel to investigate them. Trump has publicly accused both Clinton and Comey of breaking the law while not providing any evidence of that, and it is unclear what legal grounds prosecutors would have to investigate either one. www.marketwatch.com/story...ustice-dept-to-prosecute- clinton-comey-report-2018-11-20
Aw, come on now. Don't you know that King Donald is just playing 3-D chess? He's gonna get to that in his 3rd term - or so the cultists here would have you believe.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight !!! I have heard many, many excuses, yours is just another variation. What is FACT, is that the political elites are above the law, and can do whatever they want !!!! They are in the Club !!! Peons like us, not so !!! Today, after all that Bill, Hillary, Obutthole, and others have done, they are drawing fat retirements, paid by US Taxpayers, while skating around giving all American citizens the finger, saying FU !!!! If you or I had done just a fraction of what they have done, our homes would have been surrounded by a Swat Team with armored vehicles, and they would find our bullet ridden bodies under the ashes of our homes. Justice today is just like it was in the days of Longshanks !!! Sameo Sameo !! That is reality !!!

Exactly right - Hillary will never be prosecuted, she's too high up in the NWO hierarchy. Trump knows this.

The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.
