Donald Trump: The great disruptor

Not a comment on Trump as such because the figures for him aren't known yet, but this table tends to tell a story;-

Just in case there is any one in the world who is unaware of this, this man is the President of the USA

The table I posted showed far more convictions under the Nixon and Reagan Presidencies than any others over the past fifty years - Watergate and the Iran Contra affair happened under their watch and, surely, must account for the majority of those convictions, your response to that table was to say a cryptic "it goes back a long way" - how is your comment relevant to what I posted?
These would be the same government agencies that decided to publicise a few weeks before the 2016 Presidential election that they were reopening the examination of Hilary Clinton's use of a private server whilst witholding the fact that they were undertaking a formal investigation into links between Russia and the Trump campaign I suppose.
Seems like you can use sweeping statements to support any point you want to (or expose the frailty of them).
Trump sided with Putin and Russia over US intelligence.
Trump sided with Saudi Arabia over US intelligence.
Trump has deep and unexplained financial ties with Russia and Saudi Arabia.
Coincidence I expect. Draining the swamp Trump style #7,444
Again, I wonder what on earth has this got to do with the fact that the President in the picture you posted, and one who was forced to resign because of his wrongdoing, had more people in the executive branch indicted and convicted than any other holders of that office in the last half a century (in the case of Nixon, there were more of them than the rest put together!). When it comes to prison sentences George W Bush pushes Reagan down into third place.
Even if I was to accept your bizarre and completely unproven theory about who was holding the real power through all of the last fifty years until Trump came along, what does it say about the morality and intelligence of some of the Republican Presidents compared to the three Democrats who have held office in the same period - at the very worst, Carter, Clinton and Obama are far, far better at covering their tracks than Nixon, Reagan and George Bush Junior were.
25 top DOJ/FBI officials have been fired or demoted since Trump became president. Does that Trump is responsible for their behaviour?
Another post unsupported by facts. Do you ever properly read the material on which you make your statements?
Here is the list of 25 people culled from one of the likely right wing sites you used as a source.
James Comey, director (fired)
Andrew McCabe, deputy director (fired)
Peter Strzok, counterintelligence expert (fired)
Lisa Page, attorney (demoted; resigned)
James Rybicki, chief of staff (resigned)
James Baker, general counsel (resigned)
Mike Kortan, assistant director for public affairs (resigned)
Josh Campbell, special assistant to James Comey (resigned)
James Turgal, executive assistant director (resigned)
Greg Bower, assistant director for office of congressional affairs (resigned)
Michael Steinbach, executive assistant director (resigned)
John Giacalone, executive assistant director (resigned)
DOJ Departures:
Sally Yates, deputy attorney general (fired)
Bruce Ohr, associate deputy attorney general (twice demoted)
David Laufman, counterintelligence chief (resigned)
Rachel Brand, deputy attorney general (resigned)
Trisha Beth Anderson, office of legal counsel for FBI (demoted or reassigned*)
John P. Carlin, assistant attorney general (resigned)
Peter Kadzik, assistant attorney general, congressional liaison (resigned)
Mary McCord, acting assistant attorney general (resigned)
Matthew Axelrod, principal assistant to deputy attorney general (resigned)
Preet Bharara, U.S. attorney, SDNY (fired along with 45 other U.S. Attorneys)
Sharon McGowan, civil rights division (resigned)
Diana Flynn, litigation director for LGBTQ civil rights (resigned)
Vanita Gupta, civil rights division (resigned)
Joel McElvain, assistant branch director of the civil division (resigned)
*Status Unclear
As can be seen this is a list of 5 people fired and three people demoted. The other 17 resigned. Of those fired Comey's dismissal by Trump triggered the Muller investigation, Yates was an Obama holdover who went for instructing the DOJ teams that elements of the Muslim travel ban were illegal and should not be enacted and Bharara chose to be fired rather than resign like the other 45 District Attorneys appointed by Obama.
Some of the people resigning such as Rachel Brand were appointed by the Trump Administration but within a year had decided to take up other opportunities. Other people on this list either resigned early or moved to private sector jobs and were obviously fillers to create the impression in the headline that all 25 somehow left in dubious circumstances.
Still it is a tribute to you that you picked up this false narrative and presented a faker summary back to Bob.
