One of Trump's best moves was finding some US Marshals he could trust and sending them out to ventilate Reinoehl. The dude was so well-known that even the Cathedral couldn't bury the story, and they were still trying to find an excuse to let him go. That problem got dealt with, and what were the consequences? Fucking nothing, because they're fighting a covert war, and it's real hard to do that when your enemy is openly sending hit squads after your agents and irregulars. There's no way to counter that without turning your covert war into an open one.
