    I’m still beyond flabbergasted that a private citizen can just rummage around in American institutions, getting rid of anything he doesn’t like.

      It’s because the President is letting him do it. In many cases, he is exceeding what the President has the lawful authority to let him do, but Congress is also letting him do it.

      It’s bad enough that Congress is ceding its power to the Presidency, but even worse that they are both enabling this asshat.
