[Marxism] Fwd: The FBI Takes Charge: The Establishment May be Done with Trump | New Politics

After nearly four months of President Donald Trump’s chaotic presidency 
surrounded by controversies and scandals, the American establishment has 
decided to take things in hand. That is the meaning of deputy attorney 
general Rod J. Rosenstein’s appointment of Robert S. Mueller III to 
serve as special counsel to investigate ties between the Trump 
administration and Russia. Mueller, who had served as the FBI director 
from 2001 to 2013 under presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, has 
both the confidence of the establishment and the political independence 
that will allow him to pursue the issue without fear of presidential 
interference.


Mueller’s appointment suggests that the American corporate, political, 
and military elite may have had enough of Trump’s unstable, 
unproductive, and dangerous behavior and are prepared to drive him from 
office. Trump’s thoughtless tweets, his off-hand remarks on the most 
important domestic and foreign policy questions, and his erratic 
political behavior, all of which have led to the paralysis of the 
Republican congressional agenda, stand in the way both of the dominant 
neoliberal political establishment supported by many Republican and 
Democratic politicians, and of the far-right Freedom Caucus, which is 
anxious to destroy last remnants of the New Deal and the Great Society 
social welfare programs of the Golden Years of 1939 to 1979.
