You're telling me that Trump as the head of the Republican Party and most popular republican in decades could not have passed legislation without putting swampers in his cabinet who would go on to commit crimes with the DS?
Yes. That's what I'm saying. Mitch McConnell read Art of the Deal too - don't give anything up for free. For Mitch's active support, Trump had to give something, which was keeping Chao on as a cabinet head. That's the reason I thought Trump was withholding his tax returns, he was waiting until someone offered him something of value in return. Instead, he rolled the dice with the courts and lost his battle on those.
