- Firing Sally Yates instead of Flynn
- Firing the 50 US attorneys including Preet Bharara who Trump had personally approved but was subsequently found to be investigating Trump

and all the other evidence of Trump and his team being involved with Russia, who everyone is now convinced messed with the US election to help Trump.
