Personally I would not be going after the CIA as aggressively as Trump is now doing.
A head of state in facing hostile Armed Forces, law enforcement, and intelligence services is vulnerable to a coup. I am not sure that "This is America" could save Donald trump if he commits egregious misconduct that Congress lets him get away with on strictly-partisan lines. If Congress will not impeach the President for gross misconduct, then who can?
I'm not saying that tanks will roll down Pennsylvania Avenue, but if that is what it takes to stop World War III, then so be it -- should the time come. God Help Us if we should face such a scenario.
Donald Trump is a Constitutional crisis waiting to happen.
