PRESIDENT ELECT TRUMP TRANSITION TEAM WHO's WHO

President-elect Trump will have about 4,000 government positions to fill, including some of the most important posts in the US government. His team has been at work coming up with possible candidates for the top jobs, but there is a smaller universe of Republicans who were close to his campaign. Much of the Washington establishment kept him at arms length. Others, including some former GOP cabinet secretaries, rejected him entirely.

THE UPRISING OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

  1. The power of ordinary people to control the U.S. is getting weaker every day, as political leaders on both sides, fight to protect their own power and privilege, at the expense of the nation’s well being. The U.S. needs to restore what it believes in- real democracy by the people and real free enterprise.
  2. The U.S. is run by an alliance of incumbent politicians, media pundits, lobbyists and other powerful money interests for their own gain at the expense of the American people.

TRUMP’S MUST-WINS STATES

Most plausible paths to victory for Trump start with holding onto two battlegrounds  North Carolina and Arizona -- and flipping three states : Florida, Ohio and Iowa.

GROSS NEGLIGENCE VERSUS EXTREME CARELESS

The FBI investigation of Mrs Clinton looked at whether there was evidence classified information was improperly stored or transmitted on her personal system, in violation of a federal statute making it a felony to mishandle classified information either intentionally or in a grossly negligent way, or a second statute making it a misdemeanor to knowingly remove classified information from appropriate systems or storage facilities.

FOREIGN POLICY CHALLENGES FOR THE NEXT U.S. PRESIDENT

The next president will confront  disruptive events that no one sees coming as well as also face some certainties, and foes that will test their resolve not long after they move into the Oval Office.

IF HILLARY CLINTON WINS….

The email scandal is not going away. The House Intelligence Committee will clearly investigate all of the information that it has as it relates to classified information being put on networks. If classified information is found it will give these congressional inquiries a whole new life as well it should.

The FBI will also investigate whether the Clinton State Department gave special access and favors to Clinton Foundation donors. Congress will certainly investigate whether there was improper interference in those FBI efforts.
