The best pick Trump made was Gen Flynn. He knew who the deep state scum were. He would have been there for Trump to inform who was going to stab him in the back. That's why the CIA and FBI took him out before Jan 1st. It's funny how everyone thought that pence was a good guy and he was the main actor in getting rid of Gen Flynn and Sessions had already sidelined himself from all things Russia.
But let's blame Trump (the outsider) for not knowing who he could trust. Can't trust the FBI, CIA, DHS, republicants, democraps, judicial branch, or the media. I'm surprised Trump doesn't have a food taster at this point.
