One point I made in this post is Dems should speak abt harm of Trump installing his flunky at FBI.

Corruption will undoubtedly go uninvestigated.
Hacks and counterintelligence may grow weak.
Far right mobs will be treated as allies.
Disinfo will be encouraged.

What should Democrats do now? Form a shadow cabinet.

I think this is a great idea:

1/ “With a shadow cabinet, there is no hiding. Each decision by the government faces a ready counterpoint — not just from the media and voters but also from political leaders poised to (theoretically) step in.”
