re: #205 lawhawk

Trump’s mindset is that he’s immune and above the law and that he can do whatever he likes because he won and that government is exactly like how he runs his businesses.

…

Government has accountability to the people, including specific accountability under the law to Congress, the judiciary, and Trump specifically took an oath to uphold the Constitution.
…
Mueller’s already gotten indictments and guilty pleas in just a few short months - and we haven’t even gotten through the first round of interviews with all the principals. There will be further interviews to be sure.

Trump seems to think he can get everyone who serves under him to sign a lifetime NDA.

Government is accountable, but right now Congress is unresponsive. There is more than enough evidence to bring up conflict of interest, emoluments clause violations and obstruction of justice charges.

Mueller’s goal is to bring so much incontrovertible evidence to light that Congress is compelled to act or be seen as complicit.

Hence the strategy of impugning the the reputation of Mueller, the FBI and the entire domestic intelligence and law enforcement community.
