If you heard that a foreign demagogue was purging senior law enforcement officers, prosecuters, inspectors general and honest civil servants while threatening military leaders who resist deploying against the people, you’d conclude that he was trying to install a dictatorship.

Some reassure themselves that Trump’s purge of law enforcement officials is troubling, but nothing that can’t be resolved with an election. But the purpose of these firings is to remove barriers to even more corruption, especially that which subverts free and fair elections.
