Exactly my interest in these issues. Without equal justice before the law, there can be no true Republic.
What you are suggesting is these two are so craven, so cowardly and so corrupt, that they are willing to hide behind these brave men & women to protect their own reputations & careers.
You started off well but now you're putting words in my mouth. Cowardly does not necessarily mean corrupt, it means cowardly. And I never said Trump was even cowardly, I said he looked weak by whining on Twitter incessantly that there's nothing he can do to ensure equal justice is being applied.
My guess is he's being threatened that he'll be impeached if he makes any moves on DoJ, in fact even Republicans like Graham keep saying all hell will break loose. So Trump would potentially be sacrificing his Presidency, and all the other good he's doing, so that's not necessarily cowardly ether, but more strategic. He just is left to look weak if he continues to whine on Twitter about it, which is damaging to his ability to lead.
The points of my post you conveniently seemed to ignore, were those that were targeted at Mueller and his supporters, that are dividing our ranks with unsubstantiated claims he's working directly for Trump with no real evidence to support it. When are you going to put those folks under the microscope, as you seem so interested in doing to me? They are, after all, supporting the person(s) responsible for Trump's campaign manager being indicted, which is leading to further calls for actual impeachment.
Trump is a coward if he believes he is personally at risk and his presidency threatened by the pursuit of justice. What good can he actually accomplish if treason is allowed to stand? His only chance for success is sweeping Congress in 2018. But, in order to achieve that task, he must demonstrate to his supporters (and detractors) that he has the nation's best interests in mind. And besides, by allowing his sworn enemies to not only survive, but to re-group and launch another series of attacks doesn't necessarily allow him to push the MAGA agenda further either.
Either by hiding behind Sessions, or impotently tweeting and appearing a fool before millions, Trump is single-handedly destroying his brand. To be honest, that doesn't seem logical, given that he sacrificed a lot of time, energy & privacy to reach the office.
Doesn't it make more sense, given what we know about Trump, and his history of taking chances, that he recognizes this existential threat? After all, everyone else watching from the bleachers seems perfectly aware what is transpiring. Why would Trump, of all people, have this kind of blind spot?
I think we can all agree that Trump needs a breakout maneuver. Something big, something bold. Otherwise, the swamp will take him down.
