My biggest concern was always, draining the swamp never implied arresting the swamp. If you merely fire them, they will come back in 4 or 8 years and prevent any opportunity for a chance like right now to ever occur again. I imagine there is a stall to delay things as late into the election cycle as much as possible. Free adverts and not as much campaign spending necessary. The big guy is a pragmatist, but we expect no survivors in the wreckage after treason uncovered.
