#1 So now more control requested. Many believe something more is going on here. So say we have martial law. Total lock down. Troops deployed. The swamp has been attacking Trump from even before he ran for office. Many in the military have said our government is capable of anything. So this would be the perfect time to have a coup. Removal of Trump, Pence and even the senate leadership. Leaving who next in line?. I smell a democrat.

#6 Has Barr done anything with his existing powers to clean up the swamp?

#7 To all those who complain about Barr and others cleaning up the swamp I support you, but, I would just say that the swamp is huge and has been building its defenses for a long, long time.

There is only so much that can be done quickly and politics is the art of the possible. My first college paper in political science back in the '60s showed me that the swamp existed back then. It's had 50 years to accumulate more sludge and toxic waste and parasites.

Hercules and the Augean stables are nothing compared to that. Let's wish them all the best and celebrate whatever victories they have.

I'd rather try to empty the Great Lakes with a teaspoon.

#8 Barr's doing his best. Not Hercules but this ain't mythology class.

#9 Oops, I see Alan beat me to it.

Agreed: the Shitshow + Swamp is orders of magnitude deeper and worse than the Augean Stables.
