I’m forever puzzling over why we had an unvetted personal attorney of the president, helping run government at the highest level. Why do we bother with confirmation hearings, when there was an obvious cabal of un-confirmed devious plotters (Sydney Powell, Michael Flynn, Rudi Guilliani, etc) advising the president?

Why do we bother with confirmation hearings, when there was an obvious cabal of un-confirmed devious plotters (Sydney Powell, Michael Flynn, Rudi Guilliani, etc) advising the president? Is this unprecedented? I really don’t know. I would suggest that we need to take a closer look at how things in the White House got so loosey goosey. We need some actual laws. “Laws”, not norms.

And, frankly, if you could not qualify for a top level security clearance before you got elected, you basically should not be eligible for elected office... especially President.

What would seem obviously against the law to we civilians (i.e. the exploits of the previous administrations "Team Crime," if there is no law concerning the exploits of the Secessionist-In-Chief's Worst and Dumbest, there are no applicable crimes.
BTW - Joyce seems to think that the idiots who sent in the phony ballots would likely be charged with fraud.

there have been numerous 'kitchen cabinets' as far as I know, notably Nixon's - I'm thinking of Bebe Rebozo
Need to address the whole "acting" thing again too. Trump turned that into his way of getting his people in charge.
