Wherein we find that:
"Donald Trump announced on Monday that he will remove the Secret Service director, Randolph “Tex” Alles, from his position, as one anonymous official described “a near-systematic purge” at the Department of Homeland Security."
The pretext for this is apparently border security and catching a Chinese lass with dodgy equipment and computer viruses in the Donald's private resort, the latter of which appears to be a success - they caught the lass, after all.
Now I guess he will have to purge all the Intelligence/Security Services under his jurisdiction. Then he can ensure there are no challenges to his narrative of events.
As we now know (ahem) there was no collusion; just folk joining in with the chorus because it is so catchy.
And when Trump has purged the security services and put his own folk in place I guess he will be the one dictating how the history of these events is told from here on in. Excepting of course that he can't change the people in the rest of the Five Eyes network, and they all know what's been going on.
I predict the Five Eyes network will have to get dismantled as well, because I doubt Trump can persuade the other security networks not under his jurisdiction to forget all the info they have on him and his election. If he throws the Five Eyes network under a bus to preserve his version of events we will know just what sort of patriot he is.
