I have always felt that he would be more rightly pegged as a hysteric looking to share outrage festivals (rouse the rabble, gather the pitchforks), starting back in the Bush years and getting progressively worse after that. Anyone "bored with litigating" definitely lacks patience for reality, as litigation already offers advocacy and narrative creation to the max and that wasn't enough for him.

On Breitbart "editorial independence", a laundry list of what that gets you from Dana Milbank today:

Breitbart’s eyes are everywhere. It reported that anti-Trump protests after the election were financed by deep-state member George Soros. It got wind of our plan to steal Trump’s electors. Breitbart editor John Carney was onto us for planting a cover photo in Vogue of Jennifer Lawrence in front of the Statue of Liberty.

Breitbart determined that we deep staters had subjected Trump to “seven times more leaks” than Obama or President George W. Bush faced. It reported on our “de facto coup” against Trump and the existence of our “de facto shadow government.” It discovered the “silent coup” that we undertook with Obama staffers to undermine Trump. It knew we extended top security clearances for Hillary Clinton and her staff months into the Trump presidency.

Breitbart credited us with “getting rid of Michael Flynn” as national security adviser. It chronicled our employment of hackers to attack the computers of our foes, as well as our eavesdropping on Trump himself. It reported the accusation that the U.S. missile strike on Syria was called by the deep state. It uncovered booby traps we set for Trump throughout federal agencies.

Breitbart knew we in the deep state have sabotaged official communications, especially at the EPA, where we have a “particularly notorious fifth column.” It reported about us blocking intelligence officials from working in the Trump White House and punishing those who tried. It broke news of us planting anti-Trump “sherpas” in “powerful positions in the administration.”

Breitbart learned that we deep staters illegally communicate with one another “using encrypted cell phone technology.” It has the goods on our “deep-state prosecutors” at the Justice Department. It doggedly pursues the “unanswered questions” surrounding our involvement in the murder of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich. It knows James B. Comey is one of us. It knows the deep state forced Trump not to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. It knows we “push transgender ideology onto schools.” And it reported about the firing of a National Security Council official who accurately argued that the administration is threatened by the deep state.

Breitbart says it hasn’t accused us of assassinations or mass killings. But maybe, after Las Vegas, it will finally report the whole truth: The deep state is everywhere. We control everything.
