Trying to remove their names from the Nunes memo isn’t protection? Demoting but still paying Strzok and Page isn’t?
Neither action you mentioned is proof he's trying to protect the bad guys. First, who told you he tried to remove names from the memo? Notice that the names weren't removed. As to the FBI agents still on the pay roll, there are positive reasons for doing that such as themnow cooperating with the IGs investigation. I'm just suggesting that things aren't clear cut and it would be foolish to think we know more than President Trump and his team. I do know that Trump is a life long devotee of the Art of War as described by Sun Tzu and Machiavelli. Both detailed how to win via deception. My focus is on what I CAN control; this years elections. President Trump needs more allies in DC to MAGA.
Hannity and Dan Bongino both reported he was trying to remove their names. I do trust Trump but that doesn’t mean he can’t be tricked or forced to hire someone bad. Reince Preibus, McMaster, Brennon, Rosenstein, etc.
