Trump has his hands tied here people. He has to be very careful of how he interacts with the DOJ less they construe his actions to be obstruction.
Not talking about obstruction charges from the DOJ or even Mueller, but rather Congress. We often lose sight that there are enough so called Republicans that would love to be able to impeach him. They just need plausible cover.
Yes, I think that’s the key. Trump was a hostile takeover of both the Republican Party and, eventually, the Federal Executive Branch. A hostile takeover. Washington D.C. would be a very happy place if they could expel him...and they only need a thin veneer to be able to try. The big problem they would have is that we get into very dangerous waters if they do try - as in a large swath of the country this would be considered overthrowing the duly elected government. Those stakes can be very high and the result extremely damaging, in a physical sense, to Washington D.C.
