Petraeus having to call his probation officer when he leaves the country if he becomes Secretary of State, Quitterella, talking about draining the swamp and getting lobbyists out but picking McConnell's wife, a guy from Goldman Sachs after Trump spent the campaign attacking them... Trump gets it that he could nominate a piece of rotting driftwood to be Secretary of Agriculture and Republican Senators would vote to confirm it.
